Do animals care about fairness? Our new, preregistered meta-analysis - using data from 23 papers (thanks to all authors for sharing!) - finds no evidence for a sense of justice in nonhuman animals. Check out @oded_ritov's thread below

Do animals care about fairness? Our new meta-analysis suggests they don't: "Are Nonhuman Animals Inequity Averse? A Meta-Analysis", w\ @cvoelter, @nicholaraihani, and @JanEngelmann5, out now as a pre-print: https://t.co/oYUZW1fvgw 1/11

Are humans the only species that communicates when a collaborator is missing information?

@TownrowLuke and I show that our closest relatives, bonobos, can track when a partner is knowledgeable or ignorant, and tailor communication accordingly @PNASNews

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. https://t.co/eCsGaaGeOO

Very excited to have this published! No evidence for inequity aversion in nonhuman animals: a meta-analysis of accept/reject paradigms, w/ Christoph Völter, @nicholaraihani , & @JanEngelmann5 : https://t.co/CHLyRO4RwP

[Prof Nichola Raihani @nicholaraihani]

So pleased to finally see this paper in print. In what we think is one of the largest meta-analyses of animal behaviour, we find no evidence for inequity aversion in nonhumans (in accept/reject paradigms). Led by @oded_ritov & with @JanEngelmann5 & Christoph Völter. 👇

I love the way she thinks, and her lab will undoubtably become an intellectual powerhouse!

@koenfucius I WISH I had done this work, but it's actually by the other Jan Engelmann (not on Twitter, I think) https://t.co/lsoLKingB8

Our attention waxes and wanes over time. How does this influence the way our memories are organized?

Pupil size at encoding, an index of attention, predicts the temporal structure of subsequent memory

Super proud of @manasijkumar for this work! 👀

We are looking for two PhD students interested in cumulative culture in great apes. By using observational, experimental and computational methods, we aim to test whether precursors of human culture are present in chimpanzees and bonobos.

New paper alert! 🚨

Late to sharing this, but here's a short review of a decade of work with @GCsibra on how infants represent giving, and why it matters (for event cognition and the origins of the relational mind).
