We review a 40-year corpus of research that we collectively name “Multiple Categorisation Theory” (MCT). From early illustrations using the minimal group paradigm, through a focus on how people cognitively represent social diversity, to recent models...

A Reward and Incentive-Sensitization Perspective on Compulsive Use of Social Networking Sites - Wanting but not Liking Predicts Checking Frequency and Problematic Use Behavior (2020)
Journal Article
Ihssen, N., & Wadsley, M. (2021). A Reward and Incentive-Sensitization Perspective on Compulsive Use of Social Networking Sites - Wanting but not Liking Predicts Checking Frequency and Problematic Use Behavior. Addictive Behaviors, 116, Article 106808. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addbeh.2020.106808

The use of Social Networking Sites (SNSs) has exponentially increased over the past decade, leading to warnings about the addictive potential of this technology. Yet, the idea of SNS addiction remains controversial and more theory-driven research is...

Fellatio among male sanctuary-living chimpanzees during a period of social tension (2020)
Journal Article
Brooker, J. S., Webb, C. E., & Clay, Z. (2020). Fellatio among male sanctuary-living chimpanzees during a period of social tension. Behaviour, 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1163/1568539x-bja10053

Same-sex sexual behaviour has been documented across the animal kingdom, and is thought to reflect and enhance dyadic cooperation and tolerance. For instance, same-sex fellatio — the reception of a partner’s penis into another’s mouth — has been repo...

Vector trace cells in the subiculum of the hippocampal formation (2020)
Journal Article
Poulter, S., Lee, S. A., Dachtler, J., Wills, T. J., & Lever, C. (2021). Vector trace cells in the subiculum of the hippocampal formation. Nature Neuroscience, 24, 266-275. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41593-020-00761-w

Successfully navigating in physical or semantic space requires a neural representation of allocentric (map-based) vectors to boundaries, objects and goals. Cognitive processes such as path-planning and imagination entail the recall of vector represen... Read More about Vector trace cells in the subiculum of the hippocampal formation.

Mind‐mindedness versus mentalistic interpretations of behavior: Is mind‐mindedness a relational construct? (2020)
Journal Article
Larkin, F., Schacht, R., Oostenbroek, J., Hayward, E., Fernyhough, C., Muñoz Centifanti, L. C., & Meins, E. (2021). Mind‐mindedness versus mentalistic interpretations of behavior: Is mind‐mindedness a relational construct?. Infant Mental Health Journal, 42(2), 176-187. https://doi.org/10.1002/imhj.21901

Mind‐mindedness is a measure of the tendency to represent significant others in internal state terms and is central to supportive parent–infant relationships. The two studies reported here explored whether mind‐mindedness generalizes to representatio...

Using the past to estimate sensory uncertainty (2020)
Journal Article
Beierholm, U., Rohe, T., Ferrari, A., Stegle, O., & Noppeney, U. (2020). Using the past to estimate sensory uncertainty. eLife, 9, Article e54172. https://doi.org/10.7554/elife.54172

To form a more reliable percept of the environment, the brain needs to estimate its own sensory uncertainty. Current theories of perceptual inference assume that the brain computes sensory uncertainty instantaneously and independently for each stimul...
