Research Description
My interest is in social decision making processes and the development of social skills in nonhumans. I am particularly curious about the proximate mechanisms that may underlie social interaction such as intention-reading, planning and reciprocity, and how these mediators evolved. Current research focuses on our closest extant relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos.
