Come see the Lucca/ Benitez labs present at CDS! I’ll be presenting results of a registered report project investigating 5-8 year olds’ and adults’ inferences about learning and teaching with difficult tasks (poster session 4)

New paper out in Child Development (@srcdorg.bsky.social) with Dave Sobel (@candmlab.bsky.social)! ✨ We investigated how 5- to 7-year-old children decide to take on easy versus hard tasks while pursuing a goal. doi.org/10.1093/chid...

Last week I gave my 1st conference talk at #SRCD2025 in a symposium @elisemahaffey.bsky.social and I co-chaired together “The effort equation: Towards an integrative understanding of the factors that drive children’s adaptive persistence” with speakers @elainewang.bsky.social and Alexis Burke!
