Why this works?
- Parazitull 13y agoit says ARROw down > cARRot See the resemblance?
- gearoidoc 13y agoWeird. When asked for a vegetable I immediately was thinking Cabbage but for some reason Carrot popped into my head. Yeah.
- powatom 13y agoWhen asked for a vegetable I immediately though of a banana, then my brain said 'VEGETABLE, stupid', and I thought of a cabbage instead.
- kennywinker 13y ago+1 Cabbage. That's too much cabbage to be a coincidence, I'd say.
- bromagosa 13y agoI thought Cabbage too! But I'm not a native speaker, which may have an influence.
- iuguy 13y agoThat's weird, I was still thinking 6.
- imatworkyo 13y agoright, but what vegetable did you pick?!
- iuguy 13y ago6
- olive_ 13y agoSame for me. But after that I said tomato unconsciously.
- motyard 13y agoI think it works best for native English speakers very well. I was in 2% as I am not native English speaker. Interested to know how these relation works? Do you guys know any other such psychological tricks? Please share.
- Skibb 13y agoWhy do you think this is related to language? We don't think in words, we think in images. Now if we were to presuppose that cultural priming has something to do with this, we might be closer to the truth (i.e. people in Western world have carrot as an archetype of vegetables, while people in e.g. Philippines might see cabbage as the representative of veggies).
