Perceptual Origins of Social Categorization: How Visual, Gustatory, and Auditory Perception Affects the Creation of Fundamental Social Categories
Prior psychological research has primarily investigated the cognitive and affective underpinnings of social categorization. This symposium instead explores how sensorial processes underlie and support the formation of social categories. Uncovering the role of sensorial inputs offers novel insights into how individuals construct categories and reveals new insights into intergroup bias.
