Science
- 12-year-old uses Dungeons & Dragons to help scientist dad with his research: Cognitive scientist Alan Kingstone wanted to test whether people look at each others’ eyes or simply to the center of faces. Some had suggested an answer would be impossible to discern because humans’ eyes are in the center of their faces. But Alan’s son, Julian, a fan of D&D, told his father about D&D monster characters that have eyes in unusual places, such as on their hands or tail. “[Julian suggested] if you just showed them these images, you could find out whether they are looking for the eyes or not. I thought, actually, that’s a very good idea,” Kingstone said in an interview. The paper describing the results – “Monsters are people too” – was published in the British Royal Society journal Biology Letters this month, with 14-year-old Julian named as the lead author.
