Vor einigen Jahren war es noch kompliziert, über das deutsche Bundesarchiv NSDAP-Mitgliedschaften abzufragen. Nun haben die National Archives in den USA anscheinend die gesamte Zentralkartei ins Netz gestellt. Jedenfalls ein sehr tolles Tool für Mikrogeschichte. catalog.archives.gov/id/12044361

Matching sounds to shapes: Evidence of the bouba-kiki effect in naïve baby chicks  Maria Loconsole1*, Silvia Benavides-Varela2,3, Lucia Regolin1  Humans across multiple languages spontaneously associate the nonwords “kiki” and “bouba” with spiky and round shapes, respectively, a phenomenon named the bouba-kiki effect. To explore the origin of this association, and whether it is unique to humans, we tested the bouba-kiki effect in baby domestic chickens (Gallus gallus). as a precocial species, chicks can be tested shortly after hatching, allowing us to control their pretest experiences. Similar to humans, both 3-day-old [experiment 1 (exp. 1)] and 1-day-old (exp. 2) chicks spontaneously choose a spiky shape when hearing the “kiki” sound and a round shape when hearing the “bouba” sound. results from naïve young animals suggest a predisposed mechanism for matching the dimensions of shape and sound, which may be widespread across species.

main fig from the paper showing the association between bouba/round and kiki/spiky in newborn chicks

the new paper on bouba/kiki in chicks is utterly compelling

canonical, elegant method from comparative cogsci & its partner in developmental science, ultra-simple design, ultra-clear effects, no need for fancy analyses, machine learning, or AI

it appeared in an appropriately badass venue (Science)

Ja. Ich finde ein gutes Äquivalent für die Entwicklung des Worts im Deutschen z.B. "schwachsinnig", da spielt die (in großen Anführungszeichen) medizinische Bedeutung/Konnotation im heutigen Gebrauch keine Rolle.

Da heute so viele #WeRemember posten...
Was die Karte zeigt, ist gut und richtig, und eine wichtige Konsequenz aus dem Nationalsozialismus.
Eine völkische Definition des Deutschseins führte damals ins Verderben und würde es heute führen. #WeRemember heisst dagegen vorgehen
