Journal Article
Prost, M. (2018). Fragmentation et droits de l`homme: contre le droits-de-l'hommisme intégral. https://doi.org/10.4000/revdh.5500

Does the absence of legal unity challenge the universality of human rights? Is the systematic integration of human rights in other branches of law a remedy to fragmentation? This article offers a critique of « integral human-rightism », i.e. the proj... Read More about Fragmentation et droits de l`homme: contre le droits-de-l'hommisme intégral.

Humans are sensitive to the statistical regularities in action sequences carried out by others. In the present eyetracking study, we investigated whether this sensitivity can support the prediction of upcoming actions when observing unfamiliar action...
