Discrimination of animate and inanimate motion in 9-month-old infants: An ERP study
Simple geometric shapes moving in a self-propelled manner, and violating Newtonian laws of motion by acting against gravitational forces tend to induce a judgement that an object is animate. Objects that change their motion only due to external causes are more likely judged as inanimate. How the developing brain is employed in the perception of animacy in early ontogeny is currently unknown. Th...
متن کاملSeven-Month-Old Infants Selectively Reproduce the Goals of Animate But Not Inanimate Agents.
We tested 7-month-old infants’ sensitivity to others’ goals in an imitation task, and assessed whether infants are as likely to imitate the goals of nonhuman agents as they are to imitate human goals. In the current studies, we used the paradigm developed by Hamlin et. a1 (in press) to test infants’ responses to human actions versus closely matched inanimate object motions. The experimental eve...
متن کاملGoal attribution to inanimate agents by 6.5-month-old infants.
Human infants' tendency to attribute goals to observed actions may help us to understand where people's obsession with goals originates from. While one-year-old infants liberally interpret the behaviour of many kinds of agents as goal-directed, a recent report [Kamewari, K., Kato, M., Kanda, T., Ishiguro, H., & Hiraki, K. (2005). Six-and-a-half-month-old children positively attribute goals to h...
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 ...
