Hi everyone! My paper on cognitive representations of relationships and their developmental origins is finally out! I had a blast responding to the commentary and was honored to be able to engage with people who laid the foundation for my research program. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

My supervisor Kano is advertising multiple open positions! Check out the doc :) Open Positions @ Kyushu Univ (Kano Lab) Postdoc / Tech staff / PhD-MSc Eye-gaze & social cognition (exp + field + CV) 🎥 youtu.be/rXT-yjQzJxU 📁 docs.google.com/document/d/1... @animalopps.bsky.social

Thrilled to be featured alongside a number of colleagues I admire in this beautiful piece in @theguardian.com on stunning discoveries about the minds of our closest ape relatives! @gloriadickie.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Is it ironic, sad, or all-too-predictable that this news item would be in the same new cycle as the announcement of Birute Galdikas' death?

Thrilled to share our latest paper, out now in Science Advances! We explored the development of cooperative behaviors — fairness, trustworthiness, forgiveness, & honesty —  across five societies, culturally contextualizing them & seeing how they correlate. (1/5) www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Why do otherwise rational people disagree about the same evidence? Our new paper finds that group membership is a deeply rooted influence on how we form beliefs, leading even preschoolers to bias their evidential standards and form inaccurate beliefs. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Scientific funding is a net negative: "European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained" www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Chimpanzees can remember the faces of friends and family for years, and sometimes even decades, according to research from 2023. #ScienceMagArchives https://scim.ag/4iPbuUd

The ability of humans to think rationally and weigh the evidence when making a choice is well known. In a new Science study, researchers report that chimpanzees can also update their beliefs on the basis of the quantity and quality of new evidence. https://scim.ag/4nAmk0Q

Even chimpanzees think rationally and weigh the evidence when making a choice ;-) @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Are humans really the only rational animals? Our NEW PAPER 🎉 out in @science.org suggests otherwise! In a large collaboration led with my joint first author @hanna-schleihauf.bsky.social, we show that “Chimpanzees rationally revise their beliefs” 🧵

New Article alert🧚We explored how motor synchrony in group settings affects preschoolers’ social learning & closeness. TLDR It didn't — likely due to the complexity of group (triadic) synchrony for young children. doi.org/10.3389/fpsy...
