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 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 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 کاملThe Relative Relevance of Conceptual and Acoustical Information in Similarity Judgments of Animate and Inanimate Sounds
Recent studies using behavioral measures of similarity between acoustic events have had interesting results, but have been inconclusive with regards to the basis on which event-class discrimination is made. In the present investigation, we suggest that much of the difficulty has resulted from confusion about the basis on which participants make similarity judgments. Judgments may well be made o...
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...
