An experimental psychological study of the uncanny valley

人造物体(或图像)的真实感(照片真实感)程度可能会对人类观察者的判断产生不同的影响。“诡异谷”就是与这种影响有关的假说。这一假设表明，人类观察者应该对高度逼真的机器人和玩偶有不舒服的印象。本研究从对怪诞谷的考察入手，旨在更广泛地理解(照片)现实主义的判断。我们的心理学实验提供的数据表明，(照片)现实主义判断是基于对人造的检测，而不是基于对自然的检测。

The degree of realism (photorealism) of artificial objects (or images) can have various influences on the human observers' judgments. The "uncanny valley" is a hypothesis related to such influences. This hypothesis states that human observers should have uncomfortable impressions of robots and dolls that are highly realistic. The present study began with an investigation of the uncanny valley, and aimed at understanding the judgment of (photo) realism in a broader sense. Our psychological experiments provided data suggesting that the (photo) realism judgment is based on the detection of artificialness rather than on the detection of naturalness.
