Converse (2016) examined the effect of video evidence on jury judgment of intentionality‚ the degree of which the harm caused was deliberate and premeditated‚ in criminal cases. Caruso et al. hypothesized that viewing a video in slow motion increases the perceived level of intent. After conducting four different studies‚ each with different variables‚ their results showed that slow motion footage perceives more intentionality in comparison to normal speed. This study suggests that providing the jury

The Chinese Room is a thought experiment developed by John Searle. Searle imagines himself in a room receiving pieces of paper inscribed with Chinese symbols through a slot. Searle himself does not understand any Chinese. Searle locates the set of symbols he receives in an English instruction book and then sends out the corresponding set of symbols representing a response as identified in the book back through the slot; similar to how a computer follows the instructions of its program. The person

Understanding of the man in the box‚ or the program‚ is associated with its intentionality‚ or in this case‚ the lack of understanding of the program is a result of its lack of intentionality. Althusser states: “Such intentionality as computers appear to have is solely in the minds of those who program them and those who use them‚ those who send in the input and those who interpret the output.” Furthermore‚ we can connect intentionality with being active in a process which makes the programmer active and
