Default Booba and KiKi(serious post)

Okay if this has been posted please let me know!!
Otherwise here we go.



Okay, a remote tribe calls one of these shapes booba and the other kiki. Which shape do you think has which name?

Answer in below:




















<font color="white">In a psychological experiment first designed by Wolfgang Köhler, people are asked to choose which of these shapes is named Booba and which is named Kiki. Over 90% of people choose Kiki for the orange angular shape and Booba for the rounded shape.

It is thought that this has implications for language development, in that the naming of objects is not completely arbitrary. The rounded shape may most commonly be named Booba because the mouth makes a more rounded shape to produce that sound. Similarly a more taut, angular mouth shape is needed to make the sound Kiki. </font>






Lets discuss how this does and/or doesn't relate to poker =)
