Social learning from video demonstrations in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), children (Homo sapiens), and ravens (Corvus corax)
(University of St Andrews, 2011) - ThesisThe capacity for cumulatively complex and constructive technologies is a hallmark of human cognitive ability. Many species use tools, yet the breadth, adaptability, and inventiveness of human tool use distinguishes us. ... -
The experience of participating in crowds : shared identity, relatedness and emotionality
(University of St Andrews, 2012-06-19) - ThesisThe aim of this thesis is to extend the social identity model of crowd behaviour (Reicher, 1984, 1987, 1996) by exploring the experience of collective participation, with an emphasis upon quality of within-crowd social ... -
A cognitive approach to the study of culture in wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii)
(University of St Andrews, 2011-11-30) - ThesisThe question of animal culture has been of interest for decades. Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) have played a key role in the debate of whether or not it is appropriate to use the term ‘culture’ to describe animal behaviour ... -
Learning to use illumination gradients as an unambiguous cue to three dimensional shape
(2012-04-30) - Journal articleThe luminance and colour gradients across an image are the result of complex interactions between object shape, material and illumination. Using such variations to infer object shape or surface colour is therefore a difficult ... -
Visual ageing of human faces in three dimensions using morphable models and projection to latent structures
(INSTICC Press, 2009-02) - Conference itemWe present an approach to synthesising the effects of ageing on human face images using three-dimensional modelling. We extract a set of three dimensional face models from a set of two-dimensional face images by fitting a ...
