Humans' Perception of a Robot Moving Using a Slow in and Slow Out Velocity Profile [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
© 2019 IEEE - All rights reservedHumans need to understand and trust the robots they are working with. We hypothesize that how a robot moves can impact people’s perception and their trust.

Gravity-Dependent Animacy Perception in Zebrafish

open access: yesResearch, 2022
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 ...

Perceiving Animacy From Deformation and Translation

open access: yesi-Perception, 2017
In a cartoon, we often receive an animacy impression from a dynamic nonanimate object, such as a sponge or a flour sack, which does not have an animal-like shape.

Thematic role assignment in non-default verb classes: A cross-linguistic comparison of English and German

open access: yesGlossa, 2021

Synchronous motion modulates animacy perception

open access: yesJournal of Vision, 2015
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.

Event-related brain potential evidence for animacy processing asymmetries during sentence comprehension [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The animacy distinction is deeply rooted in the language faculty. A key example is differential object marking, the phenomenon where animate sentential objects receive specific marking.

Remnant Case Forms and Patterns of Syncretism in Early West Germanic

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
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 ...

Populating and Staying with Methodological Surprise

open access: yesInternational Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract This submission shares methodological experiments, cultivated in practices of composting by staying open to a surprise in art and design education research. Openness towards a surprise reduces a need to control a defining momentum of inquiry and instead welcomes composted and layered unknowns through multisensory learning experiences.

A Matter of Memory? Age‐Invariant Relative Clause Disambiguation and Memory Interference in Older Adults

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Past research suggests that Working Memory plays a role in determining relative clause attachment bias. Disambiguation preferences may further depend on Processing Speed and explicit memory demands in linguistic tasks. Given that Working Memory and Processing Speed decline with age, older adults offer a way of investigating the factors ...
