感知的许多方面都是由经验塑造的，但其他方面被认为是大脑天生的普遍属性。一个具体的例子来自节奏感知，其中一个基本的感知操作是将连续事件分组为更高层次的模式，这是对语言和音乐感知的关键操作。长期以来，人们一直认为大脑受世纪前建立的先天知觉原则的支配。目前的工作表明，分组可以强烈依赖于文化。母语为英语和日语的人进行了测试，他们的感知分组的简单节奏序列的音调。两种文化的成员表现出不同的感知分组模式，表明这些基本的听觉过程并不普遍，而是由经验塑造的。这表明，观察到的知觉差异反映了两种语言的节奏，母语可以施加影响一般的听觉感知在一个基本的水平。(c)2008年，美国声学学会。
Many aspects of perception are known to be shaped by experience, but others are thought to be innate universal properties of the brain. A specific example comes from rhythm perception, where one of the fundamental perceptual operations is the grouping of successive events into higher-level patterns, an operation critical to the perception of language and music. Grouping has long been thought to be governed by innate perceptual principles established a century ago. The current work demonstrates instead that grouping can be strongly dependent on culture. Native English and Japanese speakers were tested for their perception of grouping of simple rhythmic sequences of tones. Members of the two cultures showed different patterns of perceptual grouping, demonstrating that these basic auditory processes are not universal but are shaped by experience. It is suggested that the observed perceptual differences reflect the rhythms of the two languages, and that native language can exert an influence on general auditory perception at a basic level.
