Chimpanzees usually fail a simple pointing task that human infants and dogs pass. In our new iScience paper, we provide a possible explanation: once their attention is engaged, chimpanzees use human pointing to find hidden food 73% of the time. Attention may be the missing piece.

Figure 2. Three photos showing the experimental conditions. Left: the experimenter points toward the baited container while calling the chimpanzee’s name and making food grunts. Center: he points without vocal attention-getting cues. Right: he provides gaze and food grunts but does not point. Chimpanzees succeeded only when attention-getting cues and pointing were combined.

My favourite euro proposal keeps getting better! It's also from a small Austrian design studio 🙃

Who is a cognitive scientist? There's been fascinating discussion about cognition, but I'm as interested in who we think of as cognitive scientists. New essay includes a visual presentation of cog-sci's historical diversity--or lack thereof. buildcognitiveresonance.substack.com/p/who-is-a-c...

Afternoon plenary by @anticac.bsky.social on biases and poor practices in science. A shocking amount of research is wasted. Some fantastic recommendations to increase quality, openness and transparency. Don’t forget to check each other’s code!!! 💻👀💥 #ASABWinter2024

I made a Starter Pack for Language Evolution. But I just added a small bunch of names that came to mind. (I don't know who's on Bluesky yet.) So please add a comment below if you're a language evolution person and I will add more names soon. go.bsky.app/87rRCf7
