It’s All Relative: Cooperation Makes People A Special Type of Ape

February 4, 2020

cooperation

Q&A with Michael Tomasello When Michael Tomasello was an undergraduate student at Duke University studying developmental psychology, he studied the theories of Jean Piaget, a psychologist who thought evolutionarily. “He was looking at children like they were a different species,” Tomasello recalls. “He would always emphasize that they have their own way and own logic, […]

CNS 2019 Press Release March 26, 2019 – San Francisco – Parents may often feel like they are not “on the same wavelength” as their kids. But it turns out that, at least for babies, their brainwaves literally sync with their moms when they are learning from them about their social environment. In a new […]

From Lullabies to Live Concerts: How Music and Rhythm Shape Our Social Brains

March 27, 2018

CNS 2018 Press Release March 27, 2018 – Boston – A universal sign of motherhood is the lullaby. The world over, mothers sing to their babies, whether Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, their favorite song from the radio, or even random notes. This universality makes the simple lullaby a great window into the human mind. In […]

From the Classroom to the NICU: Real-World Neuroscience Opening New Avenues

March 26, 2017

CNS 2017 Press Release March 26, 2017 – San Francisco – When going to the movies with a group of friends, one small action can make a big difference when it comes to being on the same page after the movie: eye contact. A simple conversation before the movie sets you up to be more […]

Conformity Can Be Good for Your Eating Habits

February 27, 2015

Cookie or apple? Many of us would choose the cookie if we were by ourselves. But what about around others? If you have ever been at, say, a conference where you see many of your peers choosing an apple, you might choose one as well. New research suggests that this behavioral change also happens on […]

Running that Red Light? The Complex Drivers of Teenage Risk

August 16, 2014

You’ve been stuck in traffic forever and are waiting in a long lineup at a red light. The light finally turns green and you start slowly moving, only to find that the light turns yellow as soon as you approach the intersection. Do you go for it and run the yellow (or maybe red!), or […]

Social Priorities: We Rapidly Process Communicative Cues

August 1, 2014

A smile, a wave, a head nod – seemingly small communicative gestures are of vital importance even for babies. And new research finds that the brain processes these social cues faster than previously thought, as quickly as 70 milliseconds. The finding gives insight into the brain’s priorities that may further understanding of both typical and […]

Nothing Really Matters: Disbelief in Free Will Makes Us Care Less About Mistakes

May 20, 2014

In one of my favorite movies, Groundhog Day, Bill Murray’s character eventually gets so frustrated with the inevitability of living the same day again and again that he stops caring. With his fate seemingly sealed, he no longer worries about his actions. It makes sense that, faced with no control over our lives, we may […]

Our Visual World is Not Fact: Our Highly Flexible View of Race, Gender, Emotion, and More

March 19, 2014

CNS 2014 Blog Part 2 of 2 about the role of social context in how we see people We all know that long-held cultural stereotypes influence how we evaluate and interact with others. But what about how we actually – visually – see people? New research, for the first time, shows that stereotypes change how […]

We See Race – and Create Social Categories – Quickly

March 15, 2014

CNS 2014 Blog Part 1 of 2 about the role of social context in how we see people When you look at a face, you don’t just see what’s in front of you. You are also processing a whole host of social information about the person. And this happens fast – as quick as one-tenth […]
