Developmental Changes in Reading Intentionality in Animated Shapes

마음읽기에 가장 기본이 되는 능력은 특정 방향으로 움직이는 자극을 바람, 믿음, 의도와 같은 마음상태를 가진 행위자(agent)로 해석하는 능력이다. 본 연구는 움직이는 자극을 지향적인 행위자인 것으로 해석하는 능력이 연령에 따라 어떻게 발달하는지, 또 그러한 능력이 움직임의 주체와 그 유형에 따라 어떻게 달리 나타나는지 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 6 종류의 동영상 자극을 사용하였는데, 이 자극들은 2개의 사람 모양 또는 2개의 삼각형이 움직임의 주체가 되어 세 가지 유형으로 움직이는 자극이었다. 세 가지 움직임 유형은 두 개의 자극이 특별한 의미 없이 서로 무관하게 움직이는 무선적 움직임, 특정한 목적으로 움직이는 목적적 움직임, 2개의 사람모양 또는 삼각형이 교류하는 움직임이었다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 움직이는 대상이 목적, 바람, 정서와 같은 마음상태를 가지고 행동하고 있는 행위자인 것으로 해석하는 경향은 연령이 많아질수록 증가하였다. 둘째, 움직이는 대상에 지향성을 부여하는 경향은 두 자극이 교류하듯이 움직일 경우에만 나타났다. 끝으로, 움직임을 지향적으로 해석하는 경향은 움직임의 주체가 무엇인지에 영향을 받지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 움직이는 자극을 지향적인 행위자로 해석하게 되는 정도는 움직임의 유형에 따라 다르며, 이러한 경향성은 연령이 증가함에 따라 발달한다는 것을 보여준다.

Abstract

One of the most efficient ways of understanding other's actions is to mindread, that is, to interpret other's actions in terms of their mental states such as desires, beliefs, intentions. The basic mechanism that allows us to mindread is the intentionality detector, a tendency to perceive moving things as intentional agents with mental state such as desires, beliefs, and intentions. This study examined whether we perceive moving nonself-propelled objects such as triangle as intentional agents as we do self-propelled objects such as humans, and wether this tendency is gained with age. Six different types of computer-presented 40-second animations were used; three of them were two triangles moving around the screen, at random sequences, goal-directed(G-D) sequences and Theory of mind(Tom) sequences, the other three were human silhouettes moving around those three different sequences. The results were as follows: First, subjects interpreted triangle silhouettes intentionally as much as human silhouettes. Second, subjects interpreted G-D and Tom sequences more intentionally than random sequences, and this tendency was gained with age. This results suggest that the tendency to perceive moving things as intentional agents varies according to the motion patterns, and the tendency develops as children get older.
