{"pk":25607,"title":"Evaluating Human Cognition of Containing Relations with Physical Simulation","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Containers are ubiquitous in daily life. By container, we consider\nany physical object that can contain other objects, such\nas bowls, bottles, baskets, trash cans, refrigerators, etc. In this\npaper, we are interested in following questions: What is a container?\nWill an object contain another object? How many\nobjects will a container hold? We study those problems by\nevaluating human cognition of containers and containing relations\nwith physical simulation. In the experiments, we analyze\nhuman judgments with respect to results of physical simulation\nunder different scenarios. We conclude that the physical\nsimulation is a good approximation to the human cognition of\ncontainer and containing relations.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Container; Simulation; Physical reasoning"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1c03t43q","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Wei","middle_name":"","last_name":"Liang","name_suffix":"","institution":"Beijing Institute of Technology","department":""},{"first_name":"Yibiao","middle_name":"","last_name":"Zhao","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Los Angeles","department":""},{"first_name":"Yixin","middle_name":"","last_name":"Zhu","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Los Angeles","department":""},{"first_name":"Song-Chun","middle_name":"","last_name":"Zhu","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Los Angeles","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25607/galley/15231/download/"}]}
