When we watch a mime seemingly pull rope, climb steps or try to escape that infernal box, we don t struggle to recognize the implied objects our minds automatically see them, a new study concludes.
To explore how the mind processes the objects mimes seem to interact with, Johns Hopkins University cognitive scientists brought the art of miming into the lab, concluding that invisible, implied surfaces are represented rapidly and automatically. The work appears today in the journal
Psychological Science. Most of the time, we know which objects are around us because we can just see them directly.
