Development of Embodied Word Meanings: Sensorimotor Effects in Children’s Lexical Processing

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2016
Previous research showed an effect of words’ rated body-object interaction (BOI) in children’s visual word naming performance, but only in children 8 years of age or older (Wellsby & Pexman, 2014a). In that study, however, BOI was established using adult

Numerical modeling and simulation of underwater explosions interacting with discrete rigid bodies

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2023
The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method is widely used to simulate underwater explosion phenomena. However, previous studies have focused on the interaction between the underwater explosion and continuous structures (e.g., steel plates and dams),

Effects of Emotional and Sensorimotor Knowledge in Semantic Processing of Concrete and Abstract Nouns

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012
There is much empirical evidence that words’ relative imageability and body-object interaction (BOI) facilitate lexical processing for concrete nouns (e.g., Bennett, Burnett, Siakaluk, & Pexman, 2011).

Item-Level Scores on the Boston Naming Test as an Independent Predictor of Perirhinal Volume in Individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2023
We explored the methodological value of an item-level scoring procedure applied to the Boston Naming Test (BNT), and the extent to which this scoring approach predicts grey matter (GM) variability in regions that sustain semantic memory. Twenty-seven BNT

Action Recognition via Multi-View Perception Feature Tracking for Human–Robot Interaction

open access: yesRobotics
Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) depends on robust perception systems that enable intuitive and seamless interaction between humans and robots. This work introduces a multi-view perception framework designed for HRI, incorporating object detection and ...

Detecting human—object interaction with multi-level pairwise feature network

open access: yesComputational Visual Media, 2020
Human–object interaction (HOI) detection is crucial for human-centric image understanding which aims to infer ⟨human, action, object⟩ triplets within an image.

Flexible Coating Reduces Drag

open access: yesShanghai Jiaotong Daxue xuebao, 2021
Tian Xinliang’s group proposed a novel flow control method called "Flexible coating reduces drag" (FCRD) with a flexible enclosure constructed behind the bluff body to adjust the fluid forces received and the flow pattern around it.

Virtual Mass of Any Shape of Body by using General Mapping Function

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
When an object is moving in acceleration with fluid interaction from surrounding, it possesses virtual mass (added mass) in which the total mass of object is higher than the original mass.

Quantifying sensorimotor experience: Body–object interaction ratings for more than 9,000 English words [PDF]

open access: yesBehavior Research Methods, 2018
Ratings of body-object interaction (BOI) measure the ease with which the human body can interact with a word's referent. Researchers have studied the effects of BOI in order to investigate the relationships between sensorimotor and cognitive processes. Such efforts could be improved, however, by the availability of more extensive BOI norms.

Addressing the elephant in the middle: Implications of the midscale disagreement problem through the lens of Body-Object Interaction ratings

open access: yesCollabra: Psychology, 2023
When participants disagree about their judgments on a Likert-type scale, the average rating will be naturally drawn towards its middle. The present work’s goal is to explore the implications of this midscale disagreement problem for psycholinguistic norms by using the literature on Body-Object Interaction (BOI) ratings as a case study. Through a series
