 In 2001, Ramachandran and Hubbard brought widespread attention to the phenomenon through their experiment using the words "bouba" and "kiki." They suggested that ''the bouba/kiki effect'' and other similar phenomena could offer important insights into the origins of [[language]], as it implies that there might be natural constraints on the how sounds are associated with objects <ref> Ramachandran, Vilayanur S., and Edward M.

 == Bouba/Kiki Effect ==
-The '''bouba/kiki effect''' or '''kiki/bouba effect''' is a phenomenon of crossmodal correspondence between sounds and shapes. It is a tendency in associating the nonsense words "bouba" with a round shape and "kiki" with a spiky shape in systematic ways. Explanations of the ''bouba/kiki effect'' are typically described through iconic cross-sensory mechanisms. These mechanisms imply that the effect arises from a process where the properties inherent in the sound form of nonsense words or their motor [[articulations]] are directly matched to the properties of the abstract shapes. The ''bouba/kiki effect'' is a form of [[sound symbolism]] and considered as a universal sound-shape correspondence.
