Do natural landscapes reduce future discounting in humans?
An important barrier to enduring behavioural change is the human tendency to discount the future. Drawing on evolutionary theories of life history and biophilia, this study investigates whether exposure to natural versus urban landscapes affects people's temporal discount rates. The results of three studies, two laboratory experiments and a field study reveal that individual discount rates are ...
متن کاملChickens prefer beautiful humans.
We trained chickens to react to an average human female face but not to an average male face (or vice versa). In a subsequent test, the animals showed preferences for faces consistent with human sexual preferences (obtained from university students). This suggests that human preferences arise from general properties of nervous systems, rather than from face-specific adaptations. We discuss this...
متن کاملDo humans really punish altruistically? A closer look.
Some researchers have proposed that natural selection has given rise in humans to one or more adaptations for altruistically punishing on behalf of other individuals who have been treated unfairly, even when the punisher has no chance of benefiting via reciprocity or benefits to kin. However, empirical support for the altruistic punishment hypothesis depends on results from experiments that are...
متن کاملDo speech recognizers prefer
In this contribution we examine large speech corpora of prepared broadcast and spontaneous telephone speech in American English and in French. Starting with the question whether ASR systems behave differently on male and female speech, we then try to find evidence on acoustic-phonetic, lexical and idiomatic levels to explain the observed differences. Recognition results have been analysed on 3-...
متن کاملThe Place of Glaciers in Natural and Cultural Landscapes
In the fi rst half of the nineteenth century, glaciers taught us a great lesson about the earth. In the 1820s and 1830s, Swiss naturalists established the existence of the Ice Age. Their key insight was the fact that the small glaciers found at high elevations in mountainous regions were remnants of vast sheets of ice that once had covered large portions of the earth’s surface. They combined ma...
