The Perversity of Inanimate Objects: Stimulus Control by Incidental Musical Notation.
Social cognition research suggests that incidental, environmental stimuli (e.g., business suits) can nonconsciously influence the degree to which behavioral dispositions (e.g., competitiveness) are expressed. Similarly, cognitive research suggests that incidental action-related objects (e.g., hammers) can prime action plans that then affect the speed with which a concurrent, intended action (e....
متن کاملAre verbs like inanimate objects?
One of the most compelling findings in aphasic research is that neurological impairment may affect words of one grammatical class more than others, for instance, verbs more than nouns (e.g., Miceli, Silveri, Villa, & Caramazza, 1984; McCarthy & Warrington, 1985) or vice versa (e.g., Bates, Chen, Tzeng, Li, & Opie, 1991; Zingeser & Berndt, 1988). The underlying mechanisms of such grammatical dis...

Whether people can become infected by head lice transferring from inanimate objects is a topic of controversy. This paper reviews the evidence available from experimental studies in controlled laboratory experiments and data from field studies. The weight of evidence appears to be against transmission from inanimate objects being significant, and the promotion of inanimate objects that play an ...
متن کاملNouns, 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 کاملSemantic Perversity
This paper consists of two parts. In section I, I explore Christopher Hookway’s proposal (1988) to elude a counter-example which Gareth Evans [Evans (1975)] offers against Quine’s Thesis of the Inscrutability of Reference. Evans produced a line of argument which suggests that one of Quine’s semantically perverse translation manuals is behaviourally incorrect. Hookway modifies the perverse manua...
