Summary of results in Experiments 1–3.

NOTE. Ghost Controls (GC/Computer Demonstration), Experiment 1: No Attribution = Children are only told to “Watch the computer,” Agency Attribution = Children are read a script describing the computer as animate, Mechanical Attribution = Children are read a script describing the computer as an inanimate artifact. Experiment 2: Variable = Border presentation occurs in a variable time interval, Fixed = Border presentation occurs in fixed time interval, Random = Sound accompanying border is variable. Social (Model Demonstration), Experiment 3: Incongruent = Model's touch and border presentation do not correspond, Congruent = Model's touch and border presentation correspond (see methods). None of the correlations reached statistical significance.
