Sam Passmore et al.
We live in an unprecedented era of language endangerment and loss. In the midst of this crisis, it is becoming more and more evident that the psychological and cognitive sciences know very little about how most of the world's languages are ...

Inter-temporal impulsivity has been implicated in several theoretical explanations of the self-reinforcing nature of low socioeconomic status (SES). However, how exactly this interaction transpires is yet to be identified. We hypothesize th...

Thomas P O&#x;Connell et al.
Humans make rich inferences about the geometry of the visual world. While deep neural networks (DNNs) achieve human-level performance on some psychophysical tasks (e.g., rapid classification of object or scene categories), they often fail i...
