Beliefs about Social Dynamics and Open Science, w/ @ashleyjthomas.bsky.social & @rebeccasaxe.bsky.social - royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... While perceptions of social dynamics of your field don't predict open science attitudes, we did find high levels of support for open science (YAY) ..

Please help: Do you know a baby, less than 12 months old, who can walk? We are trying to complete a project, 7 years in the works. And all we need are 3 infants who are less than a year old and can walk, to do a short online looking-time study. 🆘

In case you missed CDS last week, here is the preprint for Young-Eun Lee's presentation:, "Children learn what is right or wrong selectively from a legitimate authority’s punishment" osf.io/preprints/os...

The question we ask: when do face responses arise in human infant cortex? Neuroscientists and developmental psychologists (my two disciplines) have different intuitions.

And if you have an extra minute, read the story @rebeccasaxe.bsky.social wrote about making a modern Mother and Child image in an MRI machine. (5/5) www.smithsonianmag.com/science-natu...

Yay for replication! I'm thrilled that scholars I admire so much put the time and effort into replicating our work!

So proud to Stand up for science with these amazing scientists @kidsbrains.bsky.social

The platform I run, Children Helping Science, is supported almost entirely by US government science funding, both directly and in collaboration with CHS researchers. Here's the note we sent to users today - we need help gathering your stories and citations! Submit here: forms.gle/zFnzrVURntdZ...

What factors impact the success of an awake infant fMRI scan? What can be done to maximize the data we collect from each infant? In our new preprint, the Turk-Browne Lab and Saxe Lab combine our data from over 750 attempted scans to try to answer these questions: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Today is the day! Our workshop (sites.google.com/view/theory-...) on Theory of Mind in AI kicks off in Philadelphia, and we are lucky enough to have @rebeccasaxe.bsky.social opening the day with a comprehensive overview of how we (un)successfully measure Theory of Mind @nitalon.bsky.social
