Nature Human Behaviour Drawing from a broad spectrum of social and natural science disciplines, Nature Human Behaviour will publish research of outstanding significance into any aspect of human behaviour, its psychological, biological, and social bases. How do humans perceive, think, feel, decide, and act? How do they interact with their environments and others? How do these abilities develop and decline over the lifespan? How do they evolve and compare with other species? How do they vary among individuals, groups, and cultures? How are they shaped by socioeconomic and political factors? How are they affected by disease or deprivation? What interventions can influence individual behaviours or outcomes? The journal welcomes research from any discipline that provides significant original insight into these questions. http://feeds.nature.com/nathumbehav/rss/current Nature Publishing Group en © 2024 Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature.

Challenging long-held assumptions, this research reveals that people can learn to control bionic hands just as effectively, and in some ways better, using arbitrary control strategies compared with control strategies that mimic the human body.]]>

Developmental language disorder is a common neurodevelopmental disorder whose adverse impacts continue into adulthood, but its neural bases have been unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis identified and synthesized neuroanatomical studies of developmental language disorder using co-localization likelihood estimation.]]>

Financial incentives may be offered for risky but potentially life-saving actions, such as donating organs and participation in medical trials. It has been argued that such incentives could distort decision making and lead people to act against their own best interest. However, experimental evidence now suggests that higher financial incentives do not cause harm.]]>
