On the matter of essence*

Iris Berent

Summary: The article explores intuitive reasoning about the essence of living things, suggesting that inborn traits must be embodied and that biological kinds are defined by material properties. This embodiment hypothesis can explain various phenomena, from perceptions of innate traits to the notion of the self migrating to humanoids and reemerging after death.

How do non-human primates represent others' awareness of where objects are hidden?

Daniel J. Horschler et al.

Summary: The study found that non-human primates do not always expect knowledgeable agents to use their knowledge to achieve their goals, consistent with heuristic-based accounts of how NHPs represent others' mental states. Furthermore, geometric changes may disrupt attribution of awareness more so than non-geometric changes.

Public misconceptions about dyslexia: The role of intuitive psychology

Iris Berent et al.

Summary: Despite advances in scientific understanding of dyslexia, public misconceptions about the disorder persist. This study suggests that misconceptions are rooted in the interaction between intuitive psychological principles, specifically Dualism and Essentialism. When dyslexia symptoms are perceived as embodied (in the body), individuals tend to view dyslexia as more severe, unchangeable, biological, and heritable, compared to when symptoms are seen as less strongly embodied. The embodiment of symptoms plays a causal role in promoting essentialist thinking, shaping public attitudes towards psychological disorders.

Cleaner fish are sensitive to what their partners can and cannot see

Katherine McAuliffe et al.

Summary: In the context of cooperative cleaning, wild-caught female cleaner wrasse are more likely to cheat when their partners are out of view, demonstrating a certain level of theory of mind ability. These results suggest that ecological pressures may drive the emergence of human-like cognitive abilities in distantly related species.

Can the Mind Command the Body?

Iris Berent

Summary: The study found that people tend to believe that thoughts can influence bodily movements, but experiments revealed that thoughts are less detectable and more likely to exist in the afterlife relative to perceptions. Additionally, thoughts were considered less likely to cause behavior, especially when the consequences of thoughts and bodily actions were salient. The final conclusion suggests that there is a latent dualist dissonance in people's perceptions of mind-body interactions.

The seductive allure of the brain: Dualism and lay perceptions of neuroscience

Gwendolyn Sandoboe et al.

Summary: Laypeople tend to prefer brain explanations of behavior, possibly due to intuitive dualism. Research shows a stronger preference for brain tests when dealing with epistemic traits, which are perceived as less material. The less material a trait seems, the stronger the surprise and brain preference it elicits.

Can we get human nature right?

Iris Berent

Summary: The controversy over human nature in science revolves around whether concepts and emotions are learned or innate. Studies suggest that newborns possess core concepts, while laypeople believe concepts are learned and emotions are innate. This discrepancy is influenced by implicit psychological principles, leading to a bias in reasoning about innateness.

Dogs follow human misleading suggestions more often when the informant has a false belief

Lucrezia Lonardo et al.

Summary: The study found that dogs can distinguish between human true beliefs and false beliefs, and they were sensitive to the experimental manipulation. Terriers behaved like human infants and apes tested in previous studies, following the communicator's suggestion more often in the TB group than in the FB group.

Minds, Bodies, Spirits, and Gods: Does Widespread Belief in Disembodied Beings Imply That We Are Inherent Dualists?

Michael Barlev et al.

Summary: Belief in beings without physical bodies is prevalent in various religions, with scholars suggesting that this prevalence may stem from a quirk in how we conceptualize individuals, intuitively representing minds as separable from bodies. However, research indicates that representations of minds and bodies are integrated from the start, with concepts of disembodied religious beings developing slowly and early-acquired conceptions of embodied religious beings not being replaced by theological conceptions of them as disembodied.

Similarities and differences in concepts of mental life among adults and children in five cultures

Kara Weisman et al.

Summary: Concepts of mental life vary across cultures, with distinctions between cognition and bodily sensation present in different societies. However, there are significant cultural and developmental differences in the perception of social-emotional abilities, which may have far-reaching social consequences. The similarities in mind-body distinctions across diverse cultures suggest aspects of human understanding that may be universal.

Essentialist Biases Toward Psychiatric Disorders: Brain Disorders Are Presumed Innate

Iris Berent et al.

Summary: Research shows that people are more likely to essentialize psychiatric conditions when they are associated with the brain, believing that these disorders are innate and immutable. This bias suggests that people consider the biological essence of living things as materially embodied.

The true me-Mind or body?

Iris Berent et al.

Summary: In this study, participants were asked to reason about a modern-day incarnation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde named John, revealing that people hold conflicting tacit notions of the true self. While one's freely-willed moral core is seen as good, one's essence is aligned with the body.
