Supplementary material from "Perception of animacy in dogs and humans"
Listed in DataCite
Humans have a tendency to perceive inanimate objects as animate based on simple motion cues.
Description
Although animacy is considered as a complex cognitive property, this recognition seems to be spontaneous. Researchers have found that young human infants discriminate between dependent and independent movement patterns.
However, quick visual perception of animate entities may be crucial to non-human species as well. Based on general mammalian homology, dogs may possess similar skills as humans. Here, we investigated whether dogs and humans discriminate similarly between dependent and independent motion patterns performed by geometric shapes.

We projected a side-by-side video display of the two patterns and measured looking times at each side, in two trials. We found that in Trial 1, both dogs and humans were equally interested in the two patterns, but in Trial 2 of both species, looking times at the dependent pattern decreased, whereas they increased at the independent pattern. We argue that dogs and humans spontaneously recognized the specific pattern and habituated to it rapidly, but continued to show interest in the ‘puzzling’ pattern.
This suggests that both species tend to recognize inanimate agents as animate relying solely on their motions.
