Abstract

This experiment investigates whether people use the adjective 'intelligent' differentially for embodied activities versus intellectual activities. In this experiment, we investigate whether the pattern of judgments we found in experiments 1-4 replicates when the adjective 'intelligent' modifies the practitioner of a general embodied or intellectual activity and the practitioner is described as a human or an artificial intelligence. To accomplish this, we will use the design from Experiment 3 and modify the materials such that the adjective 'intelligent' modifies the practitioner of an embodied or intellectual activity and that the practitioner of the general embodied or intellectual activity—a "glentor"—is described as a human or an artificial intelligence. We also modified the materials to rule out some potential confounds. We expect to conceptually replicate our findings from Experiment 3 (https://osf.io/hdg43) when the practitioner is described as a human or as an artificial intelligence.
