Infants' inferences about language are social.
The recent paper by Begus, Gliga, and Southgate (1) provides compelling evidence that infants make inferences about speakers of their native language as being optimal informants. This interesting finding advances an understanding of infants’ early social cognition. The paper’s (1) title “Infants’ preferences for native speakers are associated with an expectation of information” suggests that a ...
متن کاملSocial Bias in Elicited Natural Language Inferences
We analyze the Stanford Natural Language Inference (SNLI) corpus in an investigation of bias and stereotyping in NLP data. The human-elicitation protocol employed in the construction of the SNLI makes it prone to amplifying bias and stereotypical associations, which we demonstrate statistically (using pointwise mutual information) and with qualitative examples.
متن کاملChildren use nonverbal cues to make inferences about social power.
Four studies (N = 192) tested whether young children use nonverbal information to make inferences about differences in social power. Five- and six-year-old children were able to determine which of two adults was "in charge" in dynamic videotaped conversations (Study 1) and in static photographs (Study 4) using only nonverbal cues. Younger children (3-4 years) were not successful in Study 1 or S...
متن کاملNuanced Social Inferences about Trustworthiness from Observation of Mimicry
Mimicry and imitation are crucial mechanisms of social learning and rapport. Further, mimicry informs essential social judgments formed not only by the interacting party but also by third-party observers. How sophisticated are observer’s inferences from mimicry? We examined this in the context of observers’ use of mimicry to judge trustworthiness. Participants observed a dyadic interaction in w...
متن کاملMicrosatellites are molecular clocks that support accurate inferences about history.
Microsatellite length mutations are often modeled using the generalized stepwise mutation process, which is a type of random walk. If this model is sufficiently accurate, one can estimate the coalescence time between alleles of a locus after a mathematical transformation of the allele lengths. When large-scale microsatellite genotyping first became possible, there was substantial interest in us...
