[Coding/Determinants] FM

Aliases

• FM
• animal movement
• nonhuman movement

Definition

FM is used when the response implies ordinary animal movement. It covers movement that fits the expected action pattern of the animal or nonhuman creature.

Conditions

• The perceived action is movement.
• The action belongs to an animal or nonhuman creature acting in a species-appropriate way.
• The response does not show clearly human or anthropomorphic movement.

Cautions

• If the action is genuinely human or anthropomorphic, use scoring-input/determinants/M.
• If the movement belongs to an inanimate object, use scoring-input/determinants/m.
• Animal content alone is not enough. There has to be perceived movement.
