@louisareins.bsky.social and I started this project shortly before my nephew was born - he will start school soon. The drinks were consumed during the revisions. Link to paper (let me know if you don't have access), summary and preprint below. With S. Orr, M. Mizumoto, A. Erut & Q. Li.

Moreover, lie and falsity attributions correlated strongly in our between-subjects design. In a follow-up experiment (in only three countries), we found this strong correlation also with a within-subject design design. Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

In one condition, we asked whether the speaker lied, in another whether what s/he said was true or false. Although DIs can be considered borderline cases (true on the explicit level, false on the implicit level), we found a high degree of similarity between the ten countries.

In our main experiment, we presented participants from ten countries (Chile, China, Germany, Israel, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, UK, US) with ten cases of deceptive implicatures (DIs). DIs are literally true but can nevertheless trick the hearer into a false belief.

Randomly discovered that I have a signed book by Daniel Dennett 🤯 (the book was left, among others, in the office of a former colleague)

Lay people clearly think you can lie with pictures in form of a Content lie and a Target lie, and also tend to agree that deceiving in form of 3. constitutes lying.

Experimental setting: Two persons communicate via a messenger. A wants to buy a used bike from B and asks whether it is scratch-free. The bike has a scratch. B replies with a picture of the bike.

🚨paper alert🚨 with Emanuel Viebahn
Can you lie with pictures?
Some (says-based) theories deny this possibility but lay people clearly think you can lie with pictures – and in at least three different ways.
Forthcoming in AJP.

Happy to announce a new volume in the Bloomsbury series “Advances in Experimental Philosophy”: Lying. It will mainly about (experimental work on) the concept of lying, but also about related concepts and non-conceptual issues. Hopefully out 2024. Table of contents below.

Finally, participants were quite confident in their lie and truth evaluations, and moral evaluations of the cases were also similar between countries. Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...
