1970年，森正弘提出了恐怖谷（UV），这是一个类似人类的连续体中的一个区域，其中一个实体有可能引发一种寒冷，怪异，令人反感的感觉。最近的研究表明，这种感觉不仅可以由模仿人类的实体引起，也可以由非人类动物引起。紫外线效应背后的感知和认知机制还没有得到很好的理解，尽管已经提出了许多理论来解释它们。为了测试九类理论的预测，对136名参与者进行了一项受试者内实验。这些理论的预测与10类刺激的怪异和寒冷指数进行了比较。一种类型的理论，大脑处理，预测了九个显著效应中的八个。非典型性，在其扩展形式中，恐怖谷效应被看起来更人性化的刺激放大，也预测了8。威胁回避预测7;重复性，知觉不匹配，和不匹配+预测六个;类别+，新奇回避，择偶，和精神病回避预测五个;和类别的不确定性预测三个。同理心的主要预测没有得到支持。鉴于预测的显著效应的数量部分取决于我们对假设的选择，建议对每个结果进行详细考虑。然而，我们注意到在同一实验中检验许多相互竞争的理论的方法论价值。
In 1970, Masahiro Mori proposed the uncanny valley (UV), a region in a human-likeness continuum where an entity risks eliciting a cold, eerie, repellent feeling. Recent studies have shown that this feeling can be elicited by entities modeled not only on humans but also nonhuman animals. The perceptual and cognitive mechanisms underlying the UV effect are not well understood, although many theories have been proposed to explain them. To test the predictions of nine classes of theories, a within-subjects experiment was conducted with 136 participants. The theories’ predictions were compared with ratings of 10 classes of stimuli on eeriness and coldness indices. One type of theory, configural processing, predicted eight out of nine significant effects. Atypicality, in its extended form, in which the uncanny valley effect is amplified by the stimulus appearing more human, also predicted eight. Threat avoidance predicted seven; atypicality, perceptual mismatch, and mismatch+ predicted six; category+, novelty avoidance, mate selection, and psychopathy avoidance predicted five; and category uncertainty predicted three. Empathy's main prediction was not supported. Given that the number of significant effects predicted depends partly on our choice of hypotheses, a detailed consideration of each result is advised. We do, however, note the methodological value of examining many competing theories in the same experiment.
