visual perception, color discrimination, pregnancy sickness, first trimester
Abstract
The present study explores two hypotheses: a) women during early pregnancy should experience increased color discrimination ability, and b) women during early pregnancy should experience shifts in subjective preference away from images of foods that appear either unripe or spoiled. Both of these...
The behavioral experiment herein tests the computational load hypothesis generated by an unsupervised neural network to examine bumblebee (Bombus impatiens) behavior at 2 visual properties: spatial frequency and symmetry. Untrained “flower-naïve” bumblebees were hypothesized to prefer symmetry...
The present study aims to test the adaptive theory of pregnancy sickness to limit fetal exposure to teratogens, by investigating possible shifts in colour discrimination and food imagery preferences in women during their first trimester of pregnancy. We hypothesized that colour discrimination and...
