Journal Article
Wiese, H., Hobden, G., Siilbek, E., Martignac, V., Flack, T. R., Ritchie, K. L., …Burton, A. M. (2022). Familiarity is familiarity is familiarity: Event-related brain potentials reveal qualitatively similar representations of personally familiar and famous faces. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 48(8), 1144-1164. https://doi.org/10.1037/xlm0001063

Humans excel in familiar face recognition, but often find it hard to make identity judgements of unfamiliar faces. Understanding of the factors underlying the substantial benefits of familiarity is at present limited, but the effect is sometimes qual...

The ability to take mental states such as goals into account when interpreting others’ behavior has been proposed to be what sets human use of social information apart from that of other animals. If so, children’s social information use would be expe... Read More about Taking account of others’ goals in social information use: Developmental changes in 3- to 7-year-old children.

Evidence of joint commitment in great apes’ natural joint actions (2021)
Journal Article
