Saylor, Megan M.; Somanader, Mark; Levin, Daniel T.; Kawamura, Kazuhiko – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2010
In this experiment, we tested children's intuitions about entities that bridge the contrast between living and non-living things. Three- and four-year-olds were asked to attribute a range of properties associated with living things and machines to novel category-defying complex artifacts (humanoid robots), a familiar living thing (a girl), and a…
