Infants' physical knowledge affects their change detection.
Prior research suggests that infants attend to a variable in an event category when they have identified it as relevant for predicting outcomes in the category, and that the age at which infants identify a variable depends largely on the age at which they are exposed to appropriate observations. Thus, depending on age of exposure, infants may identify the same variable at different ages in diff...
متن کاملInfants' knowledge of their own species.
Recognition of individuals at first sight is important for social species and can be achieved by attending to facial or body information. Previous research suggests that infants possess a perceptual template for evolutionarily relevant stimuli, which may include humans, dangerous animals (e.g. snakes), but not non-dangerous animals. To be effective, such a mechanism should result in a systemati...
متن کاملExamining the Role of Prediction in Infants' Physical Knowledge
The violation-of-expectation paradigm investigates infants' physical knowledge by exploiting their tendency to look longer at events that are surprising, unexpected, or physically impossible. The current simulation study examines the role of prediction as a fundamental component of infants' expectations in physical-knowledge studies. A recurrent network is presented with a computer-animated ver...
متن کاملDo not quote . ATTENTIONAL BIAS AFFECTS CHANGE DETECTION
Thirty smokers and 30 nonsmokers participated in a “flicker” study to examine the role of attentional bias in change detection. Participants observed picture-pairs of everyday objects flicker on the computer screen until they detected the one object that changed. In half of the pictures, a smoking-related object (e.g., lighter) was included among smoking-unrelated objects (e.g., spoon). Half of...
متن کاملRobots that Change Their World: Inferring Goals from Semantic Knowledge
A growing body of literature shows that endowing a mobile robot with semantic knowledge, and with the ability to reason from this knowledge, can greatly increase its capabilities. In this paper, we explore a novel use of semantic knowledge: we encode information about how things should be, or norms, to allow the robot to infer deviations from these norms and to generate goals to correct these d...
