New paper announcement! journals.lww.com/greenjournal... The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology is an unusual place for me to publish… Let me tell you the story of this paper.

New open access paper with @drmack.bsky.social! 🎉 The menstrual cycle has non-linear effects on pattern separation as measured by the mnemonic similarity task (MST). Perceived stress facilitates pattern separation performance independent of the menstrual cycle. t.ly/k6Pul

Apparently the scheduler has been tricky for people to work with. We had a date wrong below and now just got access to rooms. Please see updated schedule of CoCoDev presentations from/with our lab here!

#SRCD2025 come check out the Toronto Early Cognition Lab (@jessicas.bsky.social)! @elainewang.bsky.social will also be presenting work with @julia-a-leonard.bsky.social that we got to collaborate on :)

Come check out the EAST & DoT Labs at #SRCD. 🤩 I'm excited to share our work on children's causal reasoning about historical structural barriers, as well as their pragmatic inferences from what others seek--and do not seek--to explain!

Come to our symposium w/ @jamieamemiya.bsky.social, Kiana Gee, & Cameron Hall at #SRCD2025. We'll talk about how children may acquire, internalize, and perpetuate gender stereotypes. I'm really excited for this one, I think the talks build on each other well to unravel different mechanisms!

The Early Child Cognition Research Group at ASU (PIs: Kelsey Lucca and Viridiana Benitez) will be presenting our work at #SRCD2025! Hope to see you there!

I’m not saying AI is evil — god forbid I be that moralistic and clear — I’m saying it is worse than that. It’s MID. Too mid to do much more than externalize some risk, produce some mid documents, and accelerate climate risk as a cute little benefit.

Research led by Psychology PhD candidate @radovanovic.bsky.social & Prof. @jessicas.bsky.social is investigating how people-pleasing socialization influences how children solve problems. 💡 www.psych.utoronto.ca/news/people-...

New paper! Children’s sharing is influenced by factors like others' need and reputation, but research has typically examined these factors in isolation. This study explores how different combinations of need and reputation affect costly sharing decisions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

For decades, developmental psychologists have noticed that optimism declines with age. Why does this presumably good thing decrease across development? In this Nature Reviews Psych article, @jessicas.bsky.social and I draw from prior hypotheses to offer an integrated account.

New paper from my lab led by the amazing @radovanovic.bsky.social !!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Looking for to seeing folks in Glasgow for ICIS!!! Here are our lab presentations!

we've launched our newest citizen-science game, Tone Guesser, led by postdoc and webdev whiz @courtneybhilton.bsky.social it's both fun and hard (!) and tests your intuitions about tones in music and colour. themusiclab.org/quizzes/toneguesser 🧪 can you beat my scores?

Going to CDS? Reading this message? Come check out work happening at (or with) the CoCoDev lab! #CDS2024

Come see us during #CDS's poster sessions!

The Toronto Early Cognition Lab is headed to Pasadena for CDS next week! Come check out our work 😊 normanjzeng.bsky.social elainewang.bsky.social jessicas.bsky.social

The UChicago Social Kids Lab will be at CDS! Come stop by our posters and see what we've been thinking about lately!
