    • Acquiring sub-efficient and efficient variants of novel means by integrating information from multiple social models in preschoolers 

      Altınok, Nazlı; Hernik, Mikołaj; Király, Ildikó; Gergely, György (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-08)
      Sub-efficient action routines often represent culture-specific conventional forms of actions that belong to the repertoire of cultural knowledge shared by a social group. Children readily acquire such sub-efficient routines from social demonstrations and often preserve them in their action repertoire despite encountering more efficient alternatives. This suggests that they can treat sub-efficient ...

    • Facilitation of object encoding in infants by the observation of giving 

      Tatone, Denis; Hernik, Mikołaj; Csibra, Gergely (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-15)
      We propose that humans are prepared to interpret giving as a diagnostic cue of reciprocal–exchange relations from infancy. A prediction following from this hypothesis is that infants will represent the identity of an object they see being given, because this information is critical for evaluating potential future reciprocation. Across three looking-time experiments we tested whether the observation ...

    • Human tool cognition relies on teleology 

      Hernik, Mikołaj (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-10)
      Osiurak and Reynaud's account of human tool cognition misses key element: human capacity for functional representations and teleological inferences. I argue that the teleofunctional approach accounts better for some features of human tool cognition and points to a viable candidate for the cognitive “difference-maker” behind human technological success.

    • A Multilab Study of Bilingual Infants: Exploring the Preference for Infant-Directed Speech 

      Byers-Heinlein, Krista; Tsui, Angeline Sin Mei; Bergmann, Christina; Black, Alexis K.; Brown, Anna; Carbajal, Maria Julia; Durrant, Samantha; Fennell, Christopher T.; Fiévet, Anne-Caroline; Frank, Michael C.; Gampe, Anja; Gervain, Judit; Gonzalez-Gomez, Nayeli; Hamlin, Kiley; Havron, Naomi; Hernik, Mikołaj; Kerr, Shila; Killam, Hilary; Klassen, Kelsey; Kosie, Jessica E.; Kovács, Ágnes Melinda; Lew-Willams, Casey; Liu, Liquan; Mani, Nivedita; Marino, Caterina; Mastroberardino, Meghan; Mateu, Victoria; Noble, Claire; Orena, Adriel John; Polka, Linda; Potter, Christine E.; Schreiner, Melanie S.; Singh, Leher; Soderstrom, Melanie; Sundara, Megha; Waddell, Connor; Werker, Janet F.; Wermelinger, Stephanie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-12)
      From the earliest months of life, infants prefer listening to and learn better from infant-directed speech (IDS) compared with adult-directed speech (ADS). Yet IDS differs within communities, across languages, and across cultures, both in form and in prevalence. This large-scale, multisite study used the diversity of bilingual infant experiences to explore the impact of different types of linguistic ...

    • Naïve chicks do not prefer objects with stable body orientation, though they may prefer behavioural variability 

      Rosa-Salva, Orsola; Hernik, Mikołaj; Fabbroni, Martina; Lorenzi, Elena; Vallortigara, Giorgio (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-18)
      Domestic chicks (Gallus gallus domesticus) have been widely used as a model to study the motion cues that allow visually naïve organisms to detect animate agents shortly after hatching/birth. Our previous work has shown that chicks prefer to approach agents whose main body axis and motion direction are aligned (a feature typical of creatures whose motion is constrained by a bilaterally symmetric ...
