Research summary

My recent work can be roughly divided into three areas. First, the reciprocal relationships between health and cognitive abilities (e.g. Altschul, Starr, & Deary, 2018; Altschul, Wraw, Der, Gale, & Deary, 2019). Second, developing large-scale, collaborative projects to systematically study cognition and personality across the primate phylogeny (ManyPrimates et al., 2019a, 2019b). Third, grappling with how assertiveness traits are related to, but distinct from, hierarchical rank in a variety of primate species (e.g. Wilson et al., 2020; Altschul, Robinson, Coleman, Capitanio, Wilson, 2019).
