The evolution of eavesdropping on heterospecific alarm calls: Relevance, reliability, and personal information

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Interceptive eavesdropping on the alarm calls of heterospecifics provides crucial information about predators. Previous research suggests predator discrimination, call relevance, reliability, and reception explain when eavesdropping will evolve. However,

Experimental evidence for the influence of structure and meaning on linear order in the noun phrase

Glossa, 2020
Recent work has used artificial language experiments to argue that hierarchical representations drive learners’ expectations about word order in complex noun phrases like these two green cars (Culbertson & Adger 2014; Martin, Ratitamkul, et al. 2019).

Investigating Word Order Emergence: Constraints From Cognition and Communication

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
How do cognitive biases and mechanisms from learning and use interact when a system of language conventions emerges? We investigate this question by focusing on how transitive events are conveyed in silent gesture production and interaction.

Probability matching is not the default decision making strategy in human and non-human primates

Scientific Reports, 2022
Probability matching has long been taken as a prime example of irrational behaviour in human decision making; however, its nature and uniqueness in the animal world is still much debated.

Category-specific and system-wide preferences in competition: Evidence from noun phrase harmony

Glossa Psycholinguistics
Typological data show a tendency for languages to exhibit harmonic (i.e., consistent) ordering between heads and dependents. Previous experimental work using artificial language learning experiments has shown that learners prefer harmonic patterns.

Is Reduced Visual Processing the Price of Language?

Brain Sciences, 2022
We suggest a later timeline for full language capabilities in Homo sapiens, placing the emergence of language over 200,000 years after the emergence of our species. The late Paleolithic period saw several significant changes.

Bridging the Loneliness Gap: Depression, Connectivity, and Isolation in Pediatric Oncology Patients and Their Peers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Loneliness is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes and remains understudied in children and adolescents undergoing cancer therapy. Pediatric oncology patients may be at increased risk due to medical isolation and disruption of social networks.
