Had a great time at #CogSci2025! Got to catch up with friends, see great research talks, and present some of my grad student work as well as some work from my internship at WestEd. Looking forward to the next one!

Happy to share that the chapter that I co-authored for Advances in Child Development and Behavior is in press today! 🎉 The chapter focuses on children's spatial thinking assessments and contains a lot of the underpinnings of my dissertation work. You can read it here:

Very honored to have been a judge for the Northwestern Undergraduate Research Expo yesterday, and super proud of all of the STAR lab RAs who presented their awesome work. Lots of very talented future researchers!

Updated Spatial & Numerical Cognition pack — still looking for more junior scientists 🔭🧪 go.bsky.app/4CXmSZM

Having a great time at Spatial Cognition 2024 in Dublin this week hearing about some amazing research!

Excited to share our latest paper - a review of technological advancements in Block Design Test measurement and analysis. Looking forward to seeing what insights will come from using AI for investigating individual differences!

So proud of my undergrad RAs for presenting their work at #MPA2024! Always nice to see undergrads progress and grow in the lab.

Had a great time presenting at #CDS2024 yesterday - looking forward to seeing more amazing work at today’s sessions!

Looking forward to #CDS2024 this week! If you are interested in assessment and measurement research, spatial cognition, or mental rotation, I would love to connect. Also be sure to check out the rest of the Northwestern STAR lab!

Psychology really needs to go back to square 1 on measurement. Even the major replications haven’t taken the lack of valid measures seriously. We are making up questions and questionnaires daily w/o validating constructs or tasks. This means our foundation is seriously shaky @jkflake.bsky.social

Excited to join Bluesky! As an introduction to myself, I am a Ph.D. candidate at Northwestern University. My research focuses on assessing and measuring cognition, specifically spatial cognition. I have interests in psychometrics, learning + development, and cognitive science. Happy to connect! 🧠
