“…On a more general level, we believe that analogous lines of reasoning may help to flesh out further the role of genuinely perceptual mechanisms in causing people to make inferences about causality (Duncker, 1945, pp. 66–67; Leslie, 1988; Michotte, 1954/1963; Ortiz, 2006, p. 54; Scholl & Tremoulet, 2000), actions and intentions (Scholl & Gao, 2013; Van de Cruys, Wagemans, & Ekroll, 2015), or even “realness” (Leddington, 2016; Mausfeld, 2013; Michotte, 1991; Vishwanath, 2013, 2014). One could argue that it is the automatic nature of amodal perception that makes such a potent tool for creating robust and surprising magical effects.…”
