Learning, specialization, efficiency and task allocation in social insects.
(2009)One of the most spectacular features of social insect colonies is their division of labor. Although individuals are often totipotent in terms of the labor they might perform, they might persistently work as scouts, fighters, ... -
Many morphs: Parsing gesture signals from the noise.
(2024-03-04)Parsing signals from noise is a general problem for signallers and recipients, and for researchers studying communicative systems. Substantial efforts have been invested in comparing how other species encode information ... -
Mental health and education decisions

Mental object rotation based on two-dimensional visual representations.
(2022-11-07)The discovery of mental rotation was one of the most significant landmarks in experimental psychology, leading to the ongoing assumption that to visually compare objects from different three-dimensional viewpoints, we use ... -
Merging of long-term memories in an insect
© 2015 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved.Research on comparative cognition has largely focused on successes and failures of animals to solve certain cognitive tasks, but in humans, memory errors can be more complex than ... -
A meta-analysis of genetic effects associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and co-occurring conditions
(Nature Research, 2023-02-20)A systematic understanding of the aetiology of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), their co-occurrence, and co-occurrence with other conditions during childhood and adolescence remains incomplete. This meta-analysis bridges ... -
Metacognitive asymmetries in visual perception.
(Oxford University Press, 2021)People have better metacognitive sensitivity for decisions about the presence compared to the absence of objects. However, it is not only objects themselves that can be present or absent, but also parts of objects and other ... -
Metacognitive asymmetries in visual perception.
(Oxford University Press, 2021)Representing the absence of objects is psychologically demanding. People are slower, less confident and show lower metacognitive sensitivity (the alignment between subjective confidence and objective accuracy) when reporting ... -
Model based planners reflect on their model-free propensities.
(PLOS, 2021-01)Dual-reinforcement learning theory proposes behaviour is under the tutelage of a retrospective, value-caching, model-free (MF) system and a prospective-planning, model-based (MB), system. This architecture raises a question ... -
Modulations in resting state networks of subcortical structures linked to creativity.
(Elsevier, 2019-03-29)Creativity is a sine qua non ability for almost all aspects of everyday life. Although very profound behavioural models were provided by 21st century psychologists, the neural correlates of these personality features ... -
Mother's and children's ADHD genetic risk, household chaos and children's ADHD symptoms: A gene-environment correlation study.
(2022-10)BACKGROUND: Chaotic home environments may contribute to children's attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. However, ADHD genetic risk may also influence household chaos. This study investigated whether ... -
The movement advantage in famous and unfamiliar faces: a comparison of point-light displays and shape-normalised avatar stimuli.
(2013)Facial movement may provide cues to identity, by supporting the extraction of face shape information via structure-from-motion, or via characteristic patterns of movement. Currently, it is unclear whether familiar and ... -
Movement cues aid face recognition in developmental prosopagnosia.
(2015-11)OBJECTIVE: Seeing a face in motion can improve face recognition in the general population, and studies of face matching indicate that people with face recognition difficulties (developmental prosopagnosia; DP) may be able ... -
The nature of Garner interference: The role of uncertainty, information, and variation in the breakdown in selective attention.
(Elsevier, 2022-01)The popular measure of Garner Interference specifies the detriment to performance with the task-relevant attribute in the presence of a randomly varying distractor. But is irrelevant variation per se responsible for this ...
