"Humans across multiple languages spontaneously associate the nonwords “kiki” and “bouba” with spiky and round shapes, respectively, a phenomenon named the bouba-kiki effect. To explore the origin of this association, and whether it is unique to humans, we tested the bouba-kiki effect in baby domestic chickens (Gallus gallus). As a precocial species, chicks can be tested shortly after hatching, allowing us to control their pretest experiences. Similar to humans, both 3-day-old and 1-day-old chicks spontaneously choose a spiky shape when hearing the “kiki” sound and a round shape when hearing the “bouba” sound. Results from naïve young animals suggest a predisposed mechanism for matching the dimensions of shape and sound, which may be widespread across species."

In linguistics studies across cultures, humans have been shown to associate certain nonwords with shapes; the iconic example is “bouba,” which associates with a round shape, and “kiki,” which sounds spiky.

In a new Science study, researchers report that the bouba-kiki effect is also exhibited by newly hatched chickens.

The authors propose that such sound-shape correspondences may belong to a set of innate cross-modal associations that are shared across species, rather than being a speech-related phenomenon that is distinctive to humans.
