From singing in the rain to tears in the rain: Socio-demographic trends and pessimism during new Hollywood
New Hollywood (NH) was a transformative period in American cinema from 1967 to 1982, marked by a shift towards more experimental, morally ambiguous, and pessimistic storytelling. Film studies surmise these shifts were influenced by socio-economic challenges such as declining movie revenues, stagnating income, rising distrust in institutions, and increased college-educated audiences. However, it is unclear whether these factors generally lead to a…
Visual recursion without recursive language? a case study of a minimally verbal autistic child
The human faculty to generate an infinite set of structured expressions in language, present in most cultures and normal ontogeny, is the most substantial evidence of the human capacity for recursion. In contrast, strong evidence of this capacity in other domains has been sparse, inviting the speculation that recursion is primarily linguistic and co-opted into other domains. Here, we present a case report of a minimally verbal 11-y.o. autistic ch…
Acquisition and Utilization of Recursive Rules in Motor Sequence Generation
Recursive hierarchical embedding allows humans to generate multiple hierarchical levels using simple rules. We can acquire recursion from exposure to linguistic and visual examples, but only develop the ability to understand “multiple‐level” structures like “[[second] red] ball]” after mastering “same‐level” conjunctions like “[second] and [red] ball.” Whether we can also learn recursion in motor production remains unexplored. Here, we tested 40 …
Reproductive Strategies and Romantic Love in Early Modern Europe
In Western Europe, the Early Modern Period is characterized by the rise of tenderness in romantic relationships and the emergence of companionate marriage. Despite a long research tradition, the origins of these social changes remain elusive. In this paper, we build on recent advances in behavioral sciences, showing that romantic emotional investment, which is more culturally variable than sexual attraction, enhances the cohesion of long-term rel…
How to Develop Reliable Instruments to Measure the Cultural Evolution of Preferences and Feelings in History
While we cannot directly measure the psychological preferences of individuals, and the moral, emotional, and cognitive tendencies of people from the past, we can use cultural artifacts as a window to the zeitgeist of societies in particular historical periods. At present, an increasing number of digitized texts spanning several centuries is available for a computerized analysis. In addition, developments form historical economics have enabled inc…
