dc.description.abstract
Research on colour preferences in humans and non-human primates suggests
similar patterns of biases for and avoidance of specific colours, indicating
that these colours are connected to a psychological reaction. Similarly, in
the acoustic domain, approach reactions to consonant sounds (considered as
positive) and avoidance reactions to dissonant sounds (considered as negative)
have been found in human adults and children, and it has been demonstrated
that non-human primates are able to discriminate between consonant and
dissonant sounds. Yet it remains unclear whether the visual and acoustic
approach–avoidance patterns remain consistent when both types of stimuli are
combined, how they relate to and influence each other, and whether these are
similar for humans and other primates. Therefore, to investigate whether gaze
duration biases for colours are similar across primates and whether reactions
to consonant and dissonant sounds cumulate with reactions to specific colours,
we conducted an eye-tracking study in which we compared humans with one
species of great apes, the orangutans. We presented four different colours
either in isolation or in combination with consonant and dissonant sounds. We
hypothesised that the viewing time for specific colours should be influenced
by dissonant sounds and that previously existing avoidance behaviours with
regard to colours should be intensified, reflecting their association with
negative acoustic information. The results showed that the humans had constant
gaze durations which were independent of the auditory stimulus, with a clear
avoidance of yellow. In contrast, the orangutans did not show any clear gaze
duration bias or avoidance of colours, and they were also not influenced by
the auditory stimuli. In conclusion, our findings only partially support the
previously identified pattern of biases for and avoidance of specific colours
in humans and do not confirm such a pattern for orangutans.
