Excellence Sec2 HL 2026 Unit 1

The document discusses the hierarchy of human senses, revealing that cultural factors significantly influence how people perceive and communicate about senses like sight, sound, taste, and smell. Research conducted by an international team showed that different cultures excel in describing certain sensory experiences, challenging the previously accepted notion that sight is the most important sense. The findings suggest that understanding sensory communication can benefit various fields, particularly in industries like food, where taste and smell are crucial.

What is the hierarchy of our senses?
Which sense do we think of as the most important ... and which as the least
important? Until recently, there was an accepted hierarchy of human senses:
sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. However, research at the University of
York has shown that this accepted hierarchy is not true across all cultures.
In fact, according to researchers, biology plays a less important role than
cultural factors in predicting the importance of the five senses.
The study revealed that cultures which particularly valued their specialist
musical heritage were able to describe sounds better, even when non-
musicians were tested. Similarly, people living in a culture that produced
patterned pottery were more able to talk about shapes. These findings could
prove significant for a range of practices in education and other professions,
to help further understand how people develop and utilise their sensory
ideas about the world. Over hundreds of years, significant scientific research
was carried out into the workings of the human sensory organs, leading to
a generally accepted belief that sight was the most important sense. This
research had always shown that people found it easy to talk about the things
that they could see, such as colours and shapes, but struggled to name the
things that they smelled or tasted. However, these studies were restricted to
English speakers and it was not known if the findings were true across all
other languages and cultures.
To find out, an international team led by Professor Asifa Majid, from the
University of York, in the UK conducted a large-scale experiment to
investigate how well different people in different places could communicate
about colours, shapes, sounds, textures, tastes and smells. Speakers of
twenty diverse languages - including three different sign languages - from
across the globe were tested, ranging from indigenous tribes to post-
industrial societies. If the commonly accepted hierarchy of the senses were
true, participants in the study should have been able to communicate about
vision most easily, followed by sounds, such as loud and quiet; textures,
such as smooth and rough; taste, such as sweet and sour; and smell, such
as floral and fruity. However, although English speakers behaved as

6
predicted, describing things they could see and hear so with ease, this was
not the case everywhere. For example, although people across all cultures
found smell the most difficult to talk about, an indigenous tribe from Australia
were noticeably better than the other research participants. This tribe, who
speak the language Umpila, were able to outperform all the other nineteen
cultures involved in the study. The ability to describe taste also showed
variations according to culture and language. While English speakers
struggled to talk about basic tastes, speakers of Farsi and Lao showed
almost perfect scores in being able to identify flavours, perhaps reflecting the
differences in how people think about their own cultural ways of cooking.
Majid and her team have demonstrated through their research that we
cannot gain a thorough understanding of certain human functions from
studies carried out solely within the English speaking world. Extending
research to other cultures and other language speakers provides us with
more global awareness and a better understanding that solutions and
perspectives are not the same around the world.
In a modern digital-led world, which typically uses the senses of sight and
hearing, it could be worthwhile learning from other cultures in the way that
taste and smell can be communicated, for example, suggested Professor
Majid. This could be particularly important for the future of some professions,
such as the food industry, for example, where being able to communicate
about taste and smell is essential.

We often use time expressions with certain tenses.
When we use time phrases such as when, before, after, until, once, by the
time, etc. to talk about the future the phrase is followed by a present or a
present perfect tense, not a future tense.
