Yosef Prat is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Oxford, focusing on the evolutionary advantages of core features of human language, particularly the arbitrariness of signs. His research delves into the capacities for human language that have evolved over time, as well as the cognitive advantages of such linguistic abilities that define the species. Prat, trained as a behavioural ecologist and animal cognitive scientist, applies an evolutionary perspective to explore various psychological phenomena. His past work includes investigating vocal communication in bats and developing cognitive models related to the learning behaviors of cleaner fish, as well as studying the evolutionary foundations of decision-making.
