4/ Then I ran another adult sample this semester. We switched to free recall instead of recognition and BAM - classic animacy effect confirmed. (I have some interesting animacy sub-category effects and eye tracking data - another time). So how you test animate/inanimate memory matters. Stay tuned!

3/ The behavioral memory results are showing no animate/inanimate differences in correct recognition at either age. IN FACT (oddly), we found more false recognition for animate lures. I replicated this finding in a separate adult sample. We were left a little confused...

2/ Leslie wasn't interested in animacy at first - but she used a picture set with half animates and inanimates in her Rollins & Riggins (2013) Dev Sci paper, capturing ERPs during encoding. I took advantage of this fact! We're finding larger PSW to animates vs. objects in both children and adults.
