Abstract

the proposal of steels & belpaeme (s&b) is on the right track to solve the nativist/empiricist/culturalist controversy. however, their nativist model of colour categorization does not correspond to a proper genetic model. colour perception is the outcome of a complex process of development. a direct correspondence between genes and colour categories cannot be the right approach to the problem.
