Abstract

The article focuses on a preregistered study examining the influence of linguistic information on low-level visual perception. The researchers argue that previous studies have significant flaws, particularly in conflating objective performance with subjective experience and failing to rule out post-sensory processes. In their study, 19 participants rated visual targets preceded by nonpredictive speech cues, finding that congruent cues did not enhance the identification of unseen targets and that language cues did not affect the processing of subliminal visual inputs. The results suggest that linguistic or conceptual knowledge does not influence low-level perception. [Extracted from the article]
