Nouns, verbs, objects, actions, and the animate/inanimate effect.
We report an aphasic patient, Z.B.L., who showed a significant advantage for verbs compared to nouns in picture-naming tests. Within the object class, he performed better on animate things than on nonliving things in picture naming as well as in an "attribute judgement task". This pattern of performance is contrary to the central prediction of a recent proposal (Bird, Howard, & Franklin, 2000),...
متن کاملOn the divide between animate and inanimate
Vitalism was abandoned already for a long time ago, yet the impression that animate beings differ in some fundamental way from inanimate objects continues to thrive. Here, we argue that scale free patterns, found throughout nature, present convincing evidence that this demarcation is only imaginary. Therefore, all systems ought to be regarded alike, i.e., all are consuming free energy in least ...
متن کاملDiscriminating Animate from Inanimate Visual Stimuli
From as early as 6 months of age, human children distinguish between motion patterns generated by animate objects from patterns generated by moving inanimate objects, even when the only stimulus that the child observes is a single point of light moving against a blank background. The mechanisms by which the animate/inanimate distinction are made are unknown, but have been shown to rely only upo...
متن کاملDevelopment and differentiation of force and energy concepts for animate and inanimate objects in children and adolescents
We looked at how far students aged 10–17 years differentiate between the force and energy concepts for animates and inanimates. Within a structured interview format, participants described situations in which inanimate objects and animate agents interacted. Results showed that the younger students made no distinction between the two concepts for the inanimate objects. They regarded force and en...
متن کاملBiological Motion Primes the Animate/Inanimate Distinction in Infancy
Given that biological motion is both detected and preferred early in life, we tested the hypothesis that biological motion might be instrumental to infants' differentiation of animate and inanimate categories. Infants were primed with either point-light displays of realistic biological motion, random motion, or schematic biological motion of an unfamiliar shape. After being habituated to these ...
