| Popis: | Interest in the multisensory perception of products is growing in different realms of science and industry. This paper applies differential semantics to investigate the influence of sensory channels on the semantic structure of perception. The study consists of four experiments in which volunteers report their perception of a sample of visual, acoustic, olfactory and tactile stimuli. The semantic space for each sense is obtained and differences in structure and meaning are analyzed. The results show that the concepts that people use to express perception depend on the sense used. Some concepts appear for one sense only, while other concepts are stimulated through more than one sense, although the meaning is not always the same. The semantic structure shows that the main source of variability in perception using the four senses studied is due to the emotional dimension followed by symbolic value for vision, hearing and smell - and by sensorial attributes for touch. The Spanish Ministry of Culture and Education funded this research with Grant No. PSE-020400-2007-1. |
