📣 New paper alert!
"Communicative mentalization might be human-specific—an ability that humans use spontaneously, in novel contexts, from early on with their conspecifics." In his letter to Townrow & Krupenye, Tibor Tauzin argues for the importance of task novelty in testing mentalization skills 👇🐒

New paper in Physics of Life Reviews by Kreiner & Eviatar on importance of prosody—not just in speech and listening, but even in silent self-talk. Intriguing idea, though we are not fully convinced it is as crucial as argued. Read Jutta Mueller’s commentary 💭➡️ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
