After the game, participants were asked what they would call each flower to their partners for all the flowers they saw (in language conditions) and 4 other flowers from a different colorway (in lang & non-lang conditions).

There’s no difference within groups that used language – they show usually short names for the flowers they saw and the ones they didn’t. Large difference between them and the non-lang participants. (Note: non-lang participants only were asked about not-their flower.)

Note: text has not been cleaned, some participants gave commentary about “my teammates called it Y” or “I tried not to name it”.
