Devastating news that Eleanor Maguire has passed away. She was my mentor for many years. She was a wonderfully thoughtful and kind person and a brilliant scientist. Her research inspired so many of us and her legacy of incredible discoveries will continue to inspire far into the future.

It’s always associative learning!
Another nativist claim, that infants have innate pro-sociality, fails upon closer inspection. Not completely surprising, as Damian Scarf’s elegant paper showed that even if such patterns emerged, it would likely be explained by simple associative processes. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

When you see the flooding in south Wales, this is perhaps the most London-centric news today.

Advice wanted - at the old place I ended up following politics, sport and academia all on the same account. It stopped me from posting at all because I didn’t want to post on incompatible subjects. Shall I start a new account for each topic or is there a way to divide up my account here?
