The effects of types of agent and pattern of motion on intentional detection

Abstract

Intentional detection is defined as when people detect an object which moves toward special direction as an agent having a goal and desire to go there. This study examined whether people detect the motions of self-propelled objects like human silhouettes and the motions of nonself-propelled objects like geometrical shapes or flowers as intentional agents when they interpret their movements. This study also, examined whether people detect and interpret motions differently when they see different motions, non-meaningful motions, goal-directed motions and interacting motions between two objects. The results demonstrate that people have tendency to detect the motions of human silhouettes more intentionally than the motions of geometrical shapes and flowers, and detect the interacting motions more intentionally than non-meaningful motions and goal-directed motions. Especially when the motions of human silhouettes were presented, people detect and interpret them as fully intended motions even when non-meaningful motions and goal-directed motions were presented. However when presented with nonself-propelled objects, geometrical shapes and flowers combined with interactive movements, people demonstrated a strong tendency to interpret their movements more intentionally than the other motions. This study suggests that people detect and interpret different agent's motions and motions of objects differently.
