Do animals get jealous like people? New @BerkeleyPsych research looks at years of studies into whether non-human animals have a similar sense of fairness. The answer is more nuanced than it may seem. news.berkeley.edu/2024/12/12/do-…

Had a lot of fun speaking with the @mindsmatterpod all about great apes, their curious social behaviors and attentional patterns, and their amazing long-term social memory! Thank you for having me and for such a great convo 🧡🙏🏽
Minds Matter Podcast@mindsmatterpod

New episode ⭐️ this week we speak to @LauraSimoneLew about the #social structures of great apes 🦍🦧 Laura shares her research on how #chimps and #bonobos remember friends and foes and manage their social attention 🧠 open.spotify.com/episode/3J31GN…

As I wrote this story, it made me wonder what else chimps and bonobos know. Chimps remember the faces of old friends and family for decades | Science | AAAS science.org/content/articl…

I am thrilled to finally share these results with the world! We found that chimps and bonobos likely remember familiar conspecifics whom they haven't seen in years -- possibly as long as 26 years. It's the longest memory ever recorded in nonhuman animals. nytimes.com/2023/12/18/sci…

Wonderful video summary of our work showing that bonobos and chimpanzees likely remember previous friends and other groupmates for decades! youtu.be/DsGS4_t_HW4?si…

A computer showed chimpanzees and bonobos pairs of ape faces for three seconds at a time: one of a stranger and the other an old companion they had not seen for years. The apes always spent more time looking at their former companion, research found. nyti.ms/4aslMEV

Check out Josh's work on whether children and adults think we can control our beliefs in the same way that we can control our actions!
Joshua Confer@joshuaconfer

We often blame people for the beliefs they hold. Does this mean we think people can choose their beliefs, like they can choose their actions? We find children and adults generally think we can select our beliefs, but think we are restricted by evidence and morality. Out now!

To be ready for any weather, you might grab sunscreen, a coat and an umbrella before you leave home. Now chimpanzees have demonstrated a similar ability to consider alternative futures. #Echobox=1687335002" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newscientist.com/article/237907…

More evidence that chimpanzees reason about different possibilities! Using a new paradigm, we found that chimpanzees prepare for alternative possible outcomes. Paper out @royalsociety doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2… Here is Okech protecting two possible targets from a competitor 1/5

In our new paper with @Alex_Primate on #Curiosity, we compare how children and apes deal with uncertain options. Kids are more likely to explore alternatives and more willing to take risks, but apes can become more exploratory through analogical reasoning dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

New evidence that nonhuman primates' response to receiving less than a partner might not be about fairness but instead about disappointment in the experimenter! In line with the social disappointment hypothesis: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

What does it mean to reason well? In our new paper, out in Cognition today, we find a developmental shift: young children weigh outcome more heavily than process when evaluating someone's reasoning; older children and adults show the reverse preference authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…
Hanna Schleihauf@HannaSchleihauf

Does good reasoning refer to reaching the right OUTCOME or to following the right epistemic PROCESS? doi.org/10.1016/j.cogn… We found that children initially value WHAT someone believes, but with development, increasingly value HOW beliefs are formed. Look at this 8-year-old💫:
