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.

Animacy in early New Zealand english [PDF]
, 2012 The literature suggests that animacy effects in present-day spoken New Zealand English (NZE) differ from animacy effects in other varieties of English. We seek to determine if such differences have a history in earlier NZE writing or not.

Animacy and the prediction of behaviour
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2020 To survive, all animals need to predict what other agents are going to do next. Here, we review neural mechanisms involved in the steps required for this ability. The first step is to determine whether an object is an agent and, if so, how sophisticated it is. This involves brain regions carrying representations of animate agents.
