“…However the same phenomenon was observed in other primates (Kuhl & Padden, 1982). Recent developments emphasize the fact that categorical perception occurs for learned categories such as man-made objects (Newell & Bü lthoff, 2002), identity of faces (Levin & Beale, 2000), gender of faces (Bü lthoff & Newell, 2004) or computer generated textures (Pevtzow & Harnad, 1997;see Harnad, 2003 for a review), as well as for more biologically constrained (or innate) categories, such as speech sounds, colors (Bornstein & Korda, 1984), line orientations (Quinn, 2004) or facial expressions (Calder, Young, Perrett, Etcoff, & Rowland, 1996;Etcoff & Magee, 1992). These phenomena can appear early in the learning of categories.…”
