In the absence of animacy: superordinate category structure affects subordinate label verification.
Theoretical accounts as well as behavioral studies reporting animacy effects offer inconsistent and sometimes contradictory results. A possible explanation for these inconsistencies may be inadvertent biases in the stimuli selected for test - with ...

Gravity-Dependent Animacy Perception in Zebrafish
Biological motion (BM), depicted by a handful of point lights attached to the major joints, conveys rich animacy information, which is significantly disrupted if BM is shown upside down. This well-known inversion effect in BM perception is conserved in terrestrial vertebrates and is presumably a manifestation of an evolutionarily endowed perceptual ...

Synchronous motion modulates animacy perception
Visual motion serves as a cue for high-level percepts. The present study reports novel modulation of animacy perception through synchronous motion. A target dot moving along a random trajectory was presented. The trajectory was generated based on a variant of 1/f noise; hence, the dot could be perceived as animate.

ABSTRACT Despite increasing interest in leveraging AI to improve CSR communication, there is limited understanding of consumers' reactions to chatbots in CSR communication. Building upon the HAII‐TIME model, this study proposes a theoretical model from the users' psychological perspective to explain facilitative pathways through which anthropomorphic ...

Remnant Case Forms and Patterns of Syncretism in Early West Germanic
Abstract Early stages of the Old West Germanic languages differ from the other two branches, Gothic and Norse, by showing remnants of a fifth case in a‐ and ō‐stem nouns. The forms in question, which have the ending ‐i or ‐u, are conventionally labelled ‘instrumental’ and cover a range of functions, such as instrument, means, comitative and locative ...
