Beauty is not objective–(this is my own statement)
By four months of age, babies look longer at patterns that adults judge to be beautiful. This suggests that, like our love of faces, the aesthetic sense may be built into the human mind from the start.

Critically, the effect holds after controlling for language family, script, and religion. None of these confounds explains our results.

By identifying which cultural dimension drives variation in emotion semantics, we move beyond reporting that culture matters to begin explaining how. We see this as a first step toward linking cross-cultural semantics with the sociocognitive systems that structure human emotion🙂

It's time to remove laptops from classrooms.
24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images.

🧠Do bilinguals switch languages with digits as they do with pictures?
Our new study in JEPLMC with ab initio learners suggests they don't. We find larger switching costs for digits than pictures, indicating that digit naming bypasses semantics.
