4/4 We highlight the role of #social factors in shaping #YawnContagion and call for further research on cross-species and cross-agent interactions.
And let's not forget the benefits of #interdisciplinary #research #psychology #zoology #robotics

3/4 Additionally, while observing the #android yawning, some #chimpanzees engaged in behaviours associated with drowsiness (gathering bedding materials, lying down)
This suggests that #yawning observation may be a contextual cue for rest, rather than merely triggering a #MotorResonance response.

2/4 #Chimpanzees observed an #android portraying specific facial expressions, including yawns and gapes.
They exhibited significantly more #yawn #contagion when the android displayed a fully wide-open mouth (Yawn condition) than in the control conditions (Gape and Close).
