The nature of the animacy organization in human ventral temporal cortex
eLife, 2019 The principles underlying the animacy organization of the ventral temporal cortex (VTC) remain hotly debated, with recent evidence pointing to an animacy continuum rather than a dichotomy. What drives this continuum?

Perceiving animacy from shape [PDF]
Journal of Vision, 2017 Superordinate visual classification for example, identifying an image as animal, plant, or mineral is computationally challenging because radically different items (e.g., octopus, dog ) must be grouped into a common class ( animal ). It is plausible that learning superordinate categories teaches us not only the membership of particular (familiar) items,

Facilitating animacy perception by manipulating stimuli exposure time
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 Animacy perception—discriminating between animate and inanimate visual stimuli—is the basis for engaging in social cognition and for our survival (e.g., avoiding potential danger).

Glossa: a journal of general linguistics, 2021 The aim of this paper is twofold: first, we intend to contribute to the debate on the identification of the features to which syntactic locality expressed in terms of the featural Relativized Minimality/ fRM principle appears to be sensitive (Rizzi 2004; Friedmann, Belletti & Rizzi 2009); second, we aim at providing a better characterization of

PLoS ONE, 2023 Animacy plays an important role in cognition (e.g., memory and language). Across languages, a processing advantage for animate words (representing living beings), comparatively to inanimate words (i.e., non-living things), has been found mostly in young ...

Cognitive animacy and its relation to linguistic animacy: evidence from Japanese and Persian [PDF]
Language Sciences, 2021 Abstract Animacy, commonly defined as the distinction between living and non-living entities, is a useful notion in cognitive science and linguistics employed to describe and predict variation in psychological and linguistic behaviour. In the (psycho)linguistics literature we find linguistic animacy dichotomies which are (implicitly) assumed to ...

The Effects of Animacy and Syntax on Priming: A Developmental Study
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 Sentence production relies on the activation of semantic information (e.g., noun animacy) and syntactic frames that specify an order for grammatical functions (e.g., subject before object).

The animacy effect on free recall is equally large in mixed and pure word lists or pairs
Scientific Reports, 2023 The cognitive mechanisms underlying the animacy effect on free recall have as yet to be identified. According to the attentional-prioritization account, animate words are better recalled because they recruit more attention at encoding than inanimate ...

Animacy Processing in Autism: Event-Related Potentials Reflect Social Functioning Skills
Brain Sciences, 2023 Though previous studies with autistic individuals have provided behavioral evidence of animacy perception difficulties, the spatio-temporal dynamics of animacy processing in autism remain underexplored.
