Bouba/Kiki is a cooperative communication game based on the psychological Bouba/Kiki Effect, which is the finding that people tend to make the same associations between sounds and shapes, irrespective of their language or culture. For example, people will tend to associate the nonsense word bouba...
It also investigated whether the bouba/kiki shape-audio regularities are noticed at all, that is, whether they affect the bouba/kiki-effect itself and/or the recognition of individual bouba/kiki shapes, and finally what mental images they produce. Three experiments were conducted, with three ...
The Kiki-Bouba effect comprises a relation between twofigures and two non-words: the star-shaped figure is called 'Kiki' and the rounded figure 'Bouba'. The effect is explained by a sound-vision synaesthesia: certain sounds are associated with certain shapes in a non-arbitrary manner.When we...

This simple experiment brought to light a strong and consensual link (Chen et al., 2018) between meaningless speech sounds and geometrical shapes, an effect often referred to as the bouba-kiki effect (BK; Ramachandran and Hubbard, 2001). The BK effect is one among a multitude of crossmodal...
The Bouba-Kiki effect is the systematic mapping between round/spiky shapes and speech sounds ("Bouba"/"Kiki"). In the size-weight illusion, participants judge the smaller of two equally-weighted objects as being heavier. Here we investigated the contribution of visual experience to the ...
bouba-kikiSound symbolism is the process by which speakers link phonetic features with meanings non-arbitrarily. For instance, speakers across languages associate non-words with rounded vowels, like bouba , with round shapes, and non-words without rounded vowels, like kiki , with spiky shapes. ...
Then we mapped whether there are preferences regarding sound parameters to name the different shapes. Voiceless obstruents were more common in the names of pointy forms, while sonorants were more frequently used to name pointy forms.Cristina Ananias, Thayná...

However, we also find an additional phonological influence in that voiced sounds are preferentially linked with rounded shapes, although this arises only in a purely auditory word–shape association task. We conclude that many previous investigations of the bouba–kiki effect may not have given ...
