Developing familiarity during the first eight months of knowing a person: A longitudinal EEG study on face and identity learning (2023)
Journal Article
Popova, T., & Wiese, H. (2023). Developing familiarity during the first eight months of knowing a person: A longitudinal EEG study on face and identity learning. Cortex, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2023.04.008

It is well-established that familiar and unfamiliar faces are processed differently, but surprisingly little is known about how familiarity builds up over time and how novel faces gradually become represented in the brain. Here, we used event-related... Read More about Developing familiarity during the first eight months of knowing a person: A longitudinal EEG study on face and identity learning.

The sound of silence: Reconsidering infants' object categorization in silence, with labels, and with nonlinguistic sounds (2023)

Young children's normative interpretations of majority and dissenting peer behavior.

Colour perception changes with basic colour word comprehension (2023)
Journal Article
Forbes, S. H., & Plunkett, K. (2023). Colour perception changes with basic colour word comprehension. Developmental Science, https://doi.org/10.1111/desc.13406

Recent work has investigated the origin of infant colour categories, showing pre-linguistic infants categorise colour even in the absence of colour words. These infant categories are similar but not identical to adult categories, giving rise to an im... Read More about Colour perception changes with basic colour word comprehension.

The occipital place area is recruited for echo-acoustically guided navigation in blind human echolocators (2023)
Journal Article

Whereas many evolutionary models emphasize within-group cooperation or between-group competition in explaining human large-scale cooperation, recent work highlights a critical role for intergroup cooperation in human adaptation. Here we investigate i... Read More about Intergroup Cooperation in Shotgun Hunting Among BaYaka Foragers and Yambe Farmers from the Republic of the Congo.

Vocabulary and automatic attention: The relation between novel words and gaze dynamics in noun generalization (2023)
Journal Article

Words direct visual attention in infants, children, and adults, presumably by activating representations of referents that then direct attention to matching stimuli in the visual scene. Novel, unknown, words have also been shown to direct attention,... Read More about Vocabulary and automatic attention: The relation between novel words and gaze dynamics in noun generalization.
