Coherence and the memorability of supernatural concepts
A prominent theory in the cognitive science of religion proposes that supernatural concepts share a common structure that contributes to their cultural success. While concepts of all kinds - i.e., natural and supernatural - are theorized to rely on inferences drawn from intuitive ontological categories, supernatural concepts also violate these ontological categories. A few violations of intuitive ontologies promote memorability, however, too many…
The Memorability of Supernatural Concepts
We evaluate the literature on the memorability of supernatural concepts (e.g., gods, ghosts, souls), itself part of a growing body of work in the emerging cognitive science of religion (Barrett, 2007). Specifically, we focus on Boyer’s (1994a, 2000, 2001) Minimally Counterintuitive ( MCI ) hypothesis according to which supernatural concepts tap a cognitively privileged memory-enhancing mechanism linked to violations of default intuitive inference…
If and only if people were logical! The effect of pragmatic enrichment on reasoning with abstract and realistic materials
Human beings often fall prey to fallacious reasoning. One influential view holds that reasoners endorsing fallacies do not commit logical errors but rather that they endorse such fallacies on pragmatic grounds, i.e. by tacitly considering a conditional premise (If you wash my car, I will give you $10) a biconditional one (I will give you $10, if and only if you wash my car). If such an operation - known as invited inference or pragmatic enrichmen…
V-Raising and Grammar Competition in Korean
In a head-final language, V-raising is hard to detect since there is no evidence from the string to support a raising analysis. If the language has a cliticlike negation that associates with the verb in syntax, then scope facts concerning negation and a quantified object NP could provide evidence regarding the height of the verb. Even so, such facts are rare, especially in the input to children, and so we might expect that not all speakers expose…
Why children aren't universally successful with quantification
This paper explores preschooler's knowledge of the linguistic principles (syntactic, semantic and pragmatic) regulating the interaction between universally quantified noun phrases and negation. Previous work has shown that 5-year-olds differ systematically from adults in the way they interpret sentences containing these elements (Musolino 1998; Musolino et al. 2000). On the basis of these results, Musolino et al. conclude that the grammar of 5-ye…
Navigating negative quantificational space
This paper reports the findings from an interconnected set of experiments designed to assess children's knowledge of the semantic interactions between negation and quantified NPs. Our main finding is that young children, unlike adults, systematically interpret these elements on the basis of their position in overt syntax. We argue that this observation can be derived from an interplay between fundamental properties of universal grammar and basic …
