New study out lead by @sarahbrocard.bsky.social: we found that chimpanzees and humans share similar sensitivity to prosocial behaviour, suggesting that species differences in prosociality are not grounded in ability to recognise actions, but in how they act on them. @cogcompneuch.bsky.social

🚨 New paper out! Using a touchscreen task, we explored how humans and chimpanzees perceive social interactions by comparing their responses to prosocial, neutral, and antisocial interactions. Check out more on 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

The perception of prosocial agents by chimpanzees and humans | Royal Society Open Science

🧠🦍 Did you know? Like humans, chimpanzees automatically process 'who did what to whom' – a potential precursor for language. 👇 Check what we found in our new paper published in @openmindjournal.bsky.social doi.org/10.1162/opmi...

Hot off the press! Is there a pre-linguistic basis for event role attribution? In our new paper out in PLoS Biology, we take a comparative eye tracking approach to explore temporal gaze distribution to agents and patients in dyadic interactions tinyurl.com/mryk7kmb
