Investigations into the Motion Cues Eliciting a Perception of Animacy an Investigation into the Motion Cues Eliciting a Perception of Animacy
The perception of animacy judging an object as appearing alive is a fundamental social perception dating back to Piaget. The present research investigates motion to examine how and when people will perceive an ambiguous moving object as appearing alive. Chapter 1 uses a number of methods to illustrate that people will judge a relatively faster-moving object as appearing alive more often than an...
متن کاملPerception of animacy and direction from local biological motion signals.
We present three experiments that investigated the perception of animacy and direction from local biological motion cues. Coherent and scrambled point-light displays of humans, cats, and pigeons that were upright or inverted were embedded in a random dot mask and presented to naive observers. Observers assessed the animacy of the walker on a six-point Likert scale in Experiment 1, discriminated...
متن کاملPerception of animacy from the motion of a single object.
We demonstrate that a single moving object can create the subjective impression that it is alive, based solely on its pattern of movement. Our displays differ from conventional biological motion displays (which normally involve multiple moving points, usually integrated to suggest a human form) in that they contain only a single rigid object moving across a uniform field. We focus on motion pat...
متن کاملMotion induced Animacy Perception as Optimal Inference
We often attribute the state of mind to inanimate things. This type of perception is called animacy perception. animacy perception is thought to be a part of theory of mind module as Fodor’s sense and is attracted much attention in function to social perception. Animacy perception was once said to be misleading perception because it was automatically triggered by inanimate thing. The range of p...
متن کاملVisual cues of motion that trigger animacy perception at birth: the case of self-propulsion.
Self-propelled motion is a powerful cue that conveys information that an object is animate. In this case, animate refers to an entity's capacity to initiate motion without an applied external force. Sensitivity to this motion cue is present in infants that are a few months old, but whether this sensitivity is experience-dependent or is already present at birth is unknown. Here, we tested newbor...
