The influence of a gender system in a language on perception was examined in a cross - cultural study. Participants were from two language groups, one with a gender system, spanish and the other with a limited gender system, english. In each language group, participants were form three age groups : 5 - 7 years old, 8 - 10 years old, and adult. In one experiment, participants were asked to put a typical male or female name to 20 objects. In another experiment, participants were asked to assign attributes to the objects. Language gender tags influenced the spanish adults and the 8 - 10 - years - olds in their choice of gender assignment, whereas perceived attributes influenced the younger spanish children and english speakers (both adults and children). It appears that in a language with a grammatical gender system, such as spanish, the gender system creeps into perception after the gender tags have been acquired.
