Kin Cognition and Communication: What Talking, Gesturing, and Drawing About Family Can Tell us About the Way We Think About This Core Social Structure
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-04)When people talk about kinship systems, they often use co-speech gestures and other representations to elaborate. This paper investigates such polysemiotic (spoken, gestured, and drawn) descriptions of kinship relations, to see if they display recurring patterns of conventionalization that capture specific social structures. We present an exploratory hypothesis-generating study of descriptions ... -

Executive functions in older adults with generalised anxiety disorder and healthy controls: Associations with heart rate variability, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and physical fitness.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-17)Executive functions (EF) decline with age and this decline in older adults with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) may be influenced by heart rate variability (HRV), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and physical fitness. Understanding these relationships is important for tailored treatments in this population. In this study, 51 adults with GAD (M age = 66.46, SD=4.08) and 51 healthy ... -
Joint attention, the pedagogical relation and pedagogical tact in the age of digital education
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-08-04)This article aims to articulate the richness of the pedagogical relation and pedagogical tact in an age of the near ubiqui tous presence of digital education. Drawing on Citton, we argue that there is an ecology of attentional influence that is pedagogically decisive. Our argument proceeds as follows: first, we introduce Citton’s theoretical frame; second, we examine the general conception ... -
Modeling individual differences in vocabulary development: A large-scale study on Japanese heritage speakers
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-29)This study examines when the vocabulary knowledge of Japanese heritage speakers (HSs; N=427, M<sub>age</sub>=9.96, female=213) begins to diverge from monolingual counterparts (N=136, M<sub>age</sub>=6.69, female=65) and what factors explain individual differences in HS development. Vocabulary of HSs began to diverge from 5.61 years and this difference lasted until they were young adults. We ... -
Does Lack of Commitment Undermine the Hypocrite's Standing to Blame?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-30)According to an influential account of standing, hypocritical blamers lack standing to blame in virtue of their lack of commitment to the norm etc. which they invoke. Nevertheless, the commitment account has the wrong shape for it to explain why hypocrites lack standing to blame. Building on the lessons of that critique I propose a novel account of what undermines standing to blame – the comparative ... -

The Reindeer Circadian Clock Is Rhythmic and Temperature-compensated But Shows Evidence of Weak Coupling Between the Secondary and Core Molecular Clock Loops
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-06)Circadian rhythms synchronize the internal physiology of animals allowing them to anticipate daily changes in their environment. Arctic habitats may diminish the selective advantages of circadian rhythmicity by relaxing daily rhythmic environmental constraints, presenting a valuable opportunity to study the evolution of circadian rhythms. In reindeer, circadian control of locomotor activity and ... -
Temporal displacement: colonial architecture and its contestation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-25)Between 1950 and 1979 the Danish state worked to modernise Kalaallit Nunaat (a.k.a. Greenland) and concentrate the Indigenous Inuit population in a few select cities. Technologies of urban planning and development were merged with those of the colonial state. New forms of housing materialised whose qualities aligned with assimilation schemes, but were also resisted, their uses repurposed. These ... -
