'A river is living': 'moving' words elicit false animacy impressions
Conference Contribution ResearchOnline@JCUHoo, Jia Yi Felicia;Dillon, Denise
Abstract
The influences of verbally-referenced motion cues on perceptions of animacy were examined using the animacy decision paradigm. Undergraduates misidentified plants as nonliving and erroneously judged moving nonliving entities as living, a common mistake among young children. This finding indicates that the association of 'moving is living' underlies the animate-inanimate distinction.
