Just a little under a month to go to apply to 12 PhD and 2 postdoc positions in the new RTG on Curiosity Uni Göttingen. Positions available with foci in developmental psychology, behavioural biology, systems, computational and theoretical neuroscience: uni-goettingen.de/de/681631.html

Just uploaded my favourite project of the PhD as a preprint on OSF: osf.io/preprints/osf/… Together with Vivien Outters, Jana Schildknecht and Nivi Mani we explored whether maternal IDS/ADS or the child's preference for IDS/ADS would predict their word learning in IDS&ADS.

Do school-aged children re-use adults' words (lexical alignment) in adult-child interaction? How does conversational context (i.e., task and partner types) influence their alignment? Read our new paper CogSci Society …ry-wiley-com.unm-ezproxy.idm.oclc.org/doi/10.1111/co…

🚨New paper out in Developmental Science!🎉 How does #parenting shape infants' brain function in the first months of life? To find out, we observed mother-infant interactions & measured infants' neural response to emotion using fNIRS at 5 & 7 months. doi.org/10.1111/desc.1… 1/3

🐥 Children's response coherence in conversations can now be measured automatically (and on a turn-by-turn basis!) — check out the model & data in our paper led by Abhishek Agrawal, to appear in LREC COLING 2024 Thread 🧵 osf.io/preprints/psya…

Congratulations to Rajalakshmi Madhavan, Martina de Eccher and Nivi Mani - their work can now be found in the same issue of the Royal Society Open Science! royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rsos/curre… #LinGoe

New paper(s) alert! My first paper from my PhD is now published at RSOS! And so is Martina de Eccher 's paper, both in the same issue! doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2…

It's out it's out it's finally out!! Article w Ben Malem, Lena Ackermann (lenaackermann.bsky.social) , Roger Mundry and Nivi Mani in the latest issue of Cortex. We examined the various methods used to measure interest in early childhood, to investigate their convergent validity doi.org/10.1016/j.cort…

It was a fun week introducing our lab to Joy, a high school girl! Here, I was explaining to her how to attach probes on an fNIRS cap.

cognitive scientist: so the lesson of Clever Hans is we need.. engineer: more horses cognitive scientist: engineer: stacked horses. parallel horses. pooled horses. horse dropout. RL with horses in the loop. cognitive scientist: engineer: Hans is All You Need

🚨 New paper! 🚨 Myself, Natalia Kartushina and Julien Mayor investigated the relationship between shared reading, screen time, and vocabulary size in n=1,442 Norwegian infants from diverse SES backgrounds. Spoiler alert: Get out those books! 📚👶 1/5 doi.org/10.1017/S03050…

Indeed, two truly excellent graduates! So proud to have been part of this journey which would not have been possible without e-LADDA. Pay close attention to Fatih's mortar board, which marks all the training events and lab visits that e-LADDA organised during his PhD.

I will be presenting a poster on dialogic reading and children's expressive vocabulary at #BCCCD in Jan 2025. Exciting!
