Domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) are sensitive to the correlation between pitch and timbre in human speech (2021)
Journal Article
Sturdy, S., Smith, D. R., & George, D. N. (in press). Domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) are sensitive to the correlation between pitch and timbre in human speech. Animal Cognition, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10071-021-01567-4

The perceived pitch of human voices is highly correlated with the fundamental frequency (f0) of the laryngeal source, which is determined largely by the length and mass of the vocal folds. The vocal folds are larger in adult males than in adult femal... Read More about Domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) are sensitive to the correlation between pitch and timbre in human speech.

Speeding up time: Hierarchical Bayesian drift diffusion modelling evidence for accelerating temporal accumulation (2021)

Time perception is malleable - it can be made to speed up and slow down by various experimental manipulations including the presentation of a sequence of auditory clicks and also angry facial expressions. Recent evidence supports the idea that audito... Read More about Speeding up time: Hierarchical Bayesian drift diffusion modelling evidence for accelerating temporal accumulation.

© 2021 Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden. How does emotion change the way we perceive time? Studies have shown that we overestimate the duration of faces that express anger of fear-an effect that has been explained as due the speeding of a pacemaker that...

Preexposure along a continuum: Differentiation and association. (2021)
Journal Article
George, D. N., & Haddon, J. E. (2021). Preexposure along a continuum: Differentiation and association. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 47(1), 48-62. https://doi.org/10.1037/xan0000266

In 5 experiments, we assessed the effects of preexposure to simple auditory stimuli on subsequent conditioning and discrimination learning. Experiment 1 showed that preexposure to a single stimulus retarded acquisition of conditioned responding to th... Read More about Preexposure along a continuum: Differentiation and association..
