Panel Session 1 (Developmental Perspectives) - Talk 3
Associate Professor Jesse Bering
(University of Otago)
A common feature of supernatural agents, including ghosts, is the presumed presence of a mind without a physical body. That is, they are invisible. And since they lack bodies, we can’t reason about what’s on their minds by inferring things from their overt behaviors, facial expressions, or words. Instead, we perceive the dead as communicating with us through symbolic events. “What does this mean?” we may find ourselves asking when the emotional climate is just right. “What is she trying to tell me?”
In this talk, psychologist Jesse Bering describes the “Princess Alice studies,” a series of experiments in which children are told that a friendly invisible woman is in the room and trying to make contact with them.
