Revisiting the attentional bias in the split brain (2021)
Journal Article
Hausmann, M., Corballis, M., & Fabri, M. (2021). Revisiting the attentional bias in the split brain. Neuropsychologia, 162, Article 108042. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2021.108042

Previous research has revealed a strong right bias in allocation of attention in split brain subjects, suggesting that a pathological attention bias occurs not only after unilateral (usually right-hemispheric) damage but also after functional disconn...

Age Differences in Leadership Positions across Cultures (2021)
Journal Article
Vaughan-Johnston, T., Imtiaz, F., Lee, A., & Ji, L. (2021). Age Differences in Leadership Positions across Cultures. Frontiers in Psychology, 12, Article 703831. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.703831

In most countries around the world, the population is rapidly aging. A by-product of these demographic shifts is that older adults will likely occupy more positions of power and influence in our societies than ever before. Further, cultural differenc...

Reduced mood variability is associated with enhanced performance during ultrarunnning (2021)
Journal Article
Burgum, P., & Smith, D. T. (2021). Reduced mood variability is associated with enhanced performance during ultrarunnning. PLoS ONE, 16(9), Article e0256888. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0256888

Ultrarunning requires extraordinary endurance but the psychological factors involved in successful ultrarunning are not well understood. One widely held view is that fluctuations in mood play a pivotal role in performance during endurance events. How...

Gaze cueing, mental states, and the effect of autistic traits (2021)
Journal Article
Morgan, E. J., Smith, D. T., & Freeth, M. (2023). Gaze cueing, mental states, and the effect of autistic traits. Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics, 85(2), 485-493. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13414-021-02368-0

The ability to interpret and follow the gaze of our social partners is an integral skill in human communication. Recent research has demonstrated that gaze following behaviour is influenced by theory of mind (ToM) processes. However, it has yet to be...

Little evidence that Eurasian jays protect their caches by responding to cues about a conspecific’s desire and visual perspective (2021)
Journal Article
Amodio, P., Farrar, B. G., Krupenye, C., Ostojić, L., & Clayton, N. S. (2021). Little evidence that Eurasian jays protect their caches by responding to cues about a conspecific’s desire and visual perspective. eLife, 10, Article e69647. https://doi.org/10.7554/elife.69647

Eurasian jays have been reported to protect their caches by responding to cues about either the visual perspective or current desire of an observing conspecific, similarly to other corvids. Here, we used established paradigms to test whether these bi...

Sex/gender differences in the brain are not trivial - a commentary on Eliot et al. (2021) (2021)
Journal Article
Hirnstein, M., & Hausmann, M. (2021). Sex/gender differences in the brain are not trivial - a commentary on Eliot et al. (2021). Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 130, 408-409. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2021.09.012

In this commentary to the comprehensive review by Eliot et al. (2021), we fully comply with rejecting the ‘sexual dimorphism’ concept in its extreme, binary form. However, we criticise the authors’ extreme position and argue that sex/gender differenc... Read More about Sex/gender differences in the brain are not trivial - a commentary on Eliot et al. (2021).

A content analysis of the aims, strategies, and effects of food and nonalcoholic drink advertising based on advertising industry case studies (2021)
Journal Article

Background Placing limitations on advertising of food and nonalcoholic drinks to children is an effective strategy in addressing childhood obesity. The industry maintains that further restrictions are unnecessary. Aims To ascertain whether the advert...

Testing Mate Choice Hypotheses in a Transitional Small Scale Population (2021)
Journal Article
Boothroyd, L., Jucker, J., Thornborrow, T., Tovee, M., Batres, C., & Penton-Voak, I. (2021). Testing Mate Choice Hypotheses in a Transitional Small Scale Population. Adaptive Human Behavior and Physiology, 7(3), 220-244. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40750-021-00173-5

Objective Tests of theories of mate choice often rely on data gathered in White, industrialised samples and this is especially the case for studies of facial attraction. Our understanding of preferences for sexual dimorphism is currently in flux and... Read More about Testing Mate Choice Hypotheses in a Transitional Small Scale Population.

There and back again: The biosocial dynamics of returning from the field (2021)
Journal Article
Sarma, M. S., Gildner, T. E., Howells, M. E., Lew-Levy, S., Trumble, B. C., & Fuentes, A. (2022). There and back again: The biosocial dynamics of returning from the field. American Journal of Human Biology, 34(S1), Article e23673. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajhb.23673

Background Leaving “home” to pursue fieldwork is a necessity but also a rite of passage for many biological anthropology/human biology scholars. Field-based scientists prepare for the potential changes to activity patterns, sleep schedules, social i... Read More about There and back again: The biosocial dynamics of returning from the field.
