Erratum for the Research Article “Matching sounds to shapes: Evidence of the bouba-kiki effect in naïve baby chicks”

In the Research Article “Matching sounds to shapes: Evidence of the bouba-kiki effect in naïve baby chicks” by M. Loconsole et al. (19 February 2026, 10.1126/science.adq7188), errors were present in Fig. 3, panels A and C. For Fig. 3A, an earlier version of the visualization was inadvertently uploaded during the initial submission process and carried forward into production; however, the underlying dataset and analyses were correct. For Fig. 3C, an earlier version of the figure was also mistakenly used, and in this case it displayed an incorrect dataset. During peer review, these discrepancies were identified and corrected versions of both figures (reflecting the validated datasets used in the analyses) were provided. However, due to a production error, the earlier versions were mistakenly retained in the final published article. The figures have now been replaced with the correct versions. The updated Fig. 3A accurately reflects the intended visualization of the original dataset, and the corrected Fig. 3C now displays the appropriate dataset consistent with the analyses described in the manuscript. These errors do not affect the results, interpretations, or conclusions of the paper. Figure 3B is unchanged.
