[BERG] BERG/SHAIR meeting Wednesday 11th

Dear all, In the next BERG/SHAIR meeting Marie Padberg, PhD student from the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, Germany, will give a presentation titled "Is altercentrism WEIRD or GREAT? Insights from cross-cultural and comparative studies on the altercentric bias in false belief tasks" The meeting will be online, but we will broadcast it from the Psychology Common Room at 4pm. Here is the abstract: Altercentrism, meaning the effortless processing of other individuals' mental states, was long believed to be human unique. I challenge this view with two studies showing that a) the way this phenomenon is studied in WEIRD populations is not culturally universal and that b) also great apes show an altercentric bias with a similar developmental trajectory to human infants.
