Wave-particle dualism in action
Wave-particle dualism is at the very heart of quantum mechanics. It manifests itself mostprominently in the double-slit experiment that has given rise to a fascinating discussion of “which-slit” information versus interference. In the present talk we analyze [1,2] two recent experiments[3,4] reporting simultaneous observation of “which-slit” and interference. Moreover, we introd...
متن کاملAction-dependent wave functions: Definition
This paper contains the formalism for a new object: an ‘‘action-dependent wave function.’’ The peaks and valleys of this function move through space as the action is varied. For some simple action-dependent wave packets, this motion mimics the trajectories of a classical particle. Unlike time-dependent wave packets, the action-dependent wave packets do not disperse when the classical motion is ...
متن کاملAction mirroring and action understanding in children
The past decade has experienced an increasing interest in action underestanding and children’s mirroring of others’ behavior. Behavioral investigations have focused on the development and significance of mimicry, goal prediction and imitation. Others have focused on the neural basis of action mirroring, identifying particular electrophysiological markers or related brain regions. A vivid debate...
متن کاملGuns, Privacy, and Crime
We investigate the impact of an information shock – the public exposure of the names and addresses of holders of handgun carry permits – on criminals’ propensity to commit crimes. In December 2008, a Memphis, TN newspaper published a searchable online database of names, zip codes, and ages of Tennessee handgun carry permit holders. Once news of the database publication spread, an intense and ac...
متن کاملAction alters object identification: wielding a gun increases the bias to see guns.
Stereotypes, expectations, and emotions influence an observer's ability to detect and categorize objects as guns. In light of recent work in action-perception interactions, however, there is another unexplored factor that may be critical: The action choices available to the perceiver. In five experiments, participants determined whether another person was holding a gun or a neutral object. Crit...
