Implied object direction from eye location enhances animacy ratings but not detection of chasing behavior [PDF]
Scientific ReportsUnderstanding how humans perceive animacy in dynamic visual stimuli is fundamental to elucidating the mechanisms underlying visual social cognition. While both object geometry and eye-like features are known to independently influence animacy impressions,

Understanding biological motion through the lens of animate motion processing [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyBiological motion (BM), the movement generated by living entities, transmits signals of life and conveys vital cues for animacy perception. In this review, we synthesize empirical findings from human and non-human animal studies to reveal how BM enjoys a

The influence of eye position on the animacy impression of a cube-shaped robot in motion [PDF]
i-PerceptionHuman observers can sometimes attribute animacy or agency to non-living objects, such as robots, perceiving them as if they were alive. In particular, the movement pattern of non-living things is a key feature for perceiving life.

Perception of animate motion in dogs [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyVarious motion cues can lead to the perception of animacy, including (1) simple motion characteristics such as starting to move from rest, (2) motion patterns of interactions like chasing, or (3) the motion of point-lights representing the joints of a ...

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).

An Eye on Animacy and Intention [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 Hamlin (2015) argued that the human capacity for social evaluation begins to emerge just a few months after birth. This claim derives from studies using unfulfilled goal scenarios, with infants as young as 3 months of age (see Hamlin, 2013). In a typical “manual choice” experiment, infants are habituated to multiple helping and hindering events.

THE PRAGMATIC ASPECT OF ANIMACY/NON-ANIMACY GRAMMATICAL CATEGOTY [PDF]
Вестник Тверского государственного университета. Серия: Филология, 2021 Обсуждается лингвистический статус грамматической категории одушевлённости/неодушевлённости, её формальные и содержательные показатели; анализируются случаи, демонстрирующие колебание грамматических маркеров, с учётом интерпретативного потенциала возможностей системы языка и прагматических установок homo loquens.

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 ...

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 ...
