39Super-expressive voices: Music to my ears?Behavioral and Brain Sciences 31 (5): 596-597. 2008.We present evidence from neuroimaging and brain lesion studies that emotional contagion may not be a mechanism underlying musical emotions. Our brains distinguish voice from non-voice sounds early in processing, and dedicate more resources to such processing. We argue that super-expressive voice theory currently cannot account for evidence of the dissociation in processing musical emotion and voice prosody

34Can we really leave gender out of it? Individual differences and the Simulation of Smiles modelBehavioral and Brain Sciences 33 (6): 459-460. 2010.Gender differences in face-based emotion recognition, notably differential use of mimicry, may compromise the extent to which the Simulation of Smiles (SIMS) model can be generalized to populations besides the adult females on which it has been tested. Much work indicates sex differences in face-based emotion recognition, including smile recognition

21Improving the generalizability of infant psychological research: The ManyBabies modelBehavioral and Brain Sciences 45. 2022.Yarkoni's analysis clearly articulates a number of concerns limiting the generalizability and explanatory power of psychological findings, many of which are compounded in infancy research. ManyBabies addresses these concerns via a radically collaborative, large-scale and open approach to research that is grounded in theory-building, committed to diversification, and focused on understanding sources of variation.
