Anthropomorphic Form
n. possessing human shape or characteristics.
The anthropomorphic form bias states that humanlike static forms are more appealing to actors than foreign shapes. The temporal equivalent is found in gesture. Motion with an affinity to the human body (Todes, 2001), or rather, “natural” will be more appealing compared to an implied gesture (think mechanical or digital) that is seen as foreign or manufactured.
