Are people really conformist-biased? An empirical test and a new mathematical model [PDF]
, 2009 According to an influential theory in cultural evolution, within-group similarity of culture is explained by a human 'conformist-bias', which is a hypothesized evolved predisposition to preferentially follow a member of the majority when acquiring ideas ...

Why frequencies are natural [PDF]
, 2007 Research in mathematical cognition has shown that rates, and other interpretations of x/y, are hard to learn and understand. On the other hand, there is extensive evidence that the brain is endowed with a specialized mechanism for representing and ...

Visual search and decision making in bees: time, speed and accuracy [PDF]
, 2006 An insect searching a meadow for flowers may detect several flowers from different species per second, so the task of choosing the right flowers rapidly is not trivial.

A texture-processing model of the 'visual sense of number' [PDF]
, 2014 It has been suggested that numerosity is an elementary quality of perception, similar to colour. If so (and despite considerable investigation), its mechanism remains unknown.

Does the number sense represent number? [PDF]
, 2020 On a now orthodox view, humans and many other animals are endowed with a “number sense”, or approximate number system (ANS), that represents number. Recently, this orthodox view has been subject to numerous critiques, with critics maintaining either that

Grouping by feature of cross-modal flankers in temporal ventriloquism [PDF]
, 2017 Signals in one sensory modality can influence perception of another, for example the bias of visual timing by audition: temporal ventriloquism. Strong accounts of temporal ventriloquism hold that the sensory representation of visual signal timing changes

Visual Learning In The Perception Of Texture: Simple And Contingent Aftereffects Of Texture Density [PDF]
, 1996 Novel results elucidating the magnitude, binocularity and retinotopicity of aftereffects of visual texture density adaptation are reported as is a new contingent aftereffect of texture density which suggests that the perception of visual texture density ...

Numerical representation in the parietal lobes: Abstract or not abstract? [PDF]
, 2009 The study of neuronal specialisation in different cognitive and perceptual domains is important for our understanding of the human brain, its typical and atypical development, and the evolutionary precursors of cognition. Central to this understanding is

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction We developed MedSupport, a multilevel medication adherence intervention designed to address root barriers to medication adherence. This study sought to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the MedSupport intervention strategies to support a future full‐scale randomized controlled trial.

After-effects and the reach of perceptual content [PDF]
, 2020 In this paper, I discuss the use of after-effects as a criterion for showing that we can perceive high-level properties. According to this criterion, if a high-level property is susceptible to after-effects, this suggests that the property can be ...
