ChatGPT says I coined the term ‘automatic imitation’. I'm not sure that's true, but this book is a fine survey of the state of the art. Open access. link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Finally, the hard copy version of the book on automatic imitation, @craccoemiel.bsky.social and I edited, has arrived. We're glad the book is also available as open access via the following link: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Currently, I'm working on a new lecture on cogntive psychology. In this lecture, I would like to do several class demonstration/class experiments. Based on your experiences, which topics work very very well for such kind of experiments?

In a registered report @craccoemiel.bsky.social, Roman Liepelt, Marcel Brass, and myself found weak evidence for the idea that automatic imitation is influenced by animacy belief­—i.e., the belief of whether the other person’s hand is (non)human. econtent.hogrefe.com/doi/10.1027/...

Malte Friese in the house! What a great talk on sexual motivation at Leuphana University!

No place for racism! What a great campaign at Lüneburg!

There’s a moral asymmetry in free will attributions. People think you have more free will when you do bad things than when you do good things. But why? Previously, there were two rival explanations for this effect. Then today, a new one just came out

At last week’s Leuphana expert talk about social innovations, we discussed our #SinTrA project in which we investigate how individuals experiencing barriers to employment can be sustainably integrated into the labor market. www.leuphana.de/en/partners/...
