Biological Motion Primes the Animate/Inanimate Distinction in Infancy
Biological Motion Primes the Animate/Inanimate Distinction in Infancy is a scholarly work by Diane Poulin-Dubois, published in 2015 in ''PLOS One''. The main subjects of the publication include schematic, motion, biological motion, computer science, theory of mind, origin of the domestic dog, psychology, animacy, communication, categorization, embodied cognition, and cognitive psychology. The findings indicated that infants primed with point-light displays of realistic biological motion showed better categorization of animates than those exposed to random or schematic biological motion.
