Language within your reach: near-far perceptual space and spatial demonstratives.
Spatial demonstratives (this/that) play a crucial role when indicating object locations using language. However, the relationship between the use of these proximal and distal linguistic descriptors and the near (peri-personal) versus far (extra-personal) perceptual space distinction is a source of controversy [Kemmerer, D. (1999). "Near" and "far" in language and perception. Cognition 73, 35-63...
متن کاملSpatial Demonstratives, Perceptual Space, and Linguistic Diversity
Extended Abstract Communication involves a combination of speech and gestures, which afford joint attention between speaker and interlocutor (Tomasello, 1999, 2003; Kita, 2003). Characterizing the mapping between language and the vision and action systems is therefore essential in order to understand both normal and disordered communication. In a series of five experiments we target this mappin...
متن کاملTo Reach or not to Reach? Efficient Algorithms for Total-Payoff Games
Quantitative games are two-player zero-sum games played on directed weighted graphs. Totalpayoff games – that can be seen as a refinement of the well-studied mean-payoff games – are the variant where the payoff of a play is computed as the sum of the weights. Our aim is to describe the first pseudo-polynomial time algorithm for total-payoff games in the presence of arbitrary weights. It consist...
متن کاملTo Reach or Not to Reach? Perception of Body Effectivities by Young Infants
Two experiments compared 6-month-old infants as they reach for an object. All were proficient reachers but with different levels of sitting ability. The object was presented at various distances, within and beyond reach of the infant. In the first experiment, the scaling of perceived reachability in infants with different postural abilities (i.e. non-sitter, near-sitter, and sitter infants) was...
متن کاملSpatial demonstratives and perceptual space: Describing and remembering object location
Spatial demonstratives - terms including this and that - are among the most common words across all languages. Yet, there are considerable differences between languages in how demonstratives carve up space and the object characteristics they can refer to, challenging the idea that the mapping between spatial demonstratives and the vision and action systems is universal. In seven experiments we ...
