When life gives you 🍋🍋🍋 In 2020, for reasons 🙄, we had to pause an ongoing eye tracking study on infants' perception of audiovisual synchrony. Anna Bánki 🌻 Martina de Eccher Lilith Falschlehner & Gabriela Markova made the absolute best of the situation: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

New paper with @Ljuba_Pi and Nicolas Goupil! Infants are highly interested in social entities, but the core of social cognition is relational. We show that 6-m-olds are already sensitive to visuo-spatial relations between bodies 1/2 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

proofs are online, link below - - and perfect if you want to prove reports wrong that papers with (i) long titles and (ii) female authors get cited less ;) direct.mit.edu/opmi/article/d…

How does perceptual awareness differ between infants and adults? Today in Current Biology we show that babies' sampling of information in the environment is 6 times slower than adults' but accelerates fast between 5 months and 3 years of life. 1/3 cell.com/current-biolog…

🚨🚨 Deadline alert! The submission deadline to the next DUCOG (19-22 May) is just a few days away (February 28). The topic this year is "Cognitive and Functional Perspectives on Emotions." A short 🧵 on why you shouldn't skip this one!

🎉Now out PNASNews 🎉 Through the babies’ eyes, we discover how objects become categories in the first months of life, matching incrementally the categorical object representation of the mature visual cortex pnas.org/content/119/8/… Céline Spriet Etienne Abassi Jean-Remy Hochmann CNRS 🌍

How does the infant brain track infant-directed speech in naturalistic mother-infant interactions? Check out our new paper in NeuroImage!

Overcoming cognitive set bias requires more than seeing an alternative strategy-David A. Washburn and my new article showing that participants' failure to use a shortcut was not attributable to an inability to see it but rather to their unwillingness to try it... disq.us/t/4520bn6

🚨New paper alert! I'm very pleased to announce that my first first-author paper is out now in AmJournalPrimatology #openaccess! We conducted a systematic review of primate cognition literature over 15 years to look at the impact of zoos in this field🧵(1/10) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Join our workshop ✴️BRIDGING THE TECHNOLOGICAL GAP - Spreading technological innovations to study the human and animal mind✴️ You will gain experience with motion tracking, eye tracking, pupillometry, thermal imaging, and machine learning equivalents! primate-cognition.eu/de/veranstaltu…

New paper out in Infancy ICIS about the role of eyes and reinforcement learning for infant gaze following. Final piece of a long journey discovering how special eyes are to infants - excellent summary by Stefanie Hoehl !

🚨Paper alert 🚨 Check out how Curiosity differs btw Great Ape species #Chimpanzees #bonobos #orangutans Out Today! Especially one close to my heart, combining data sets from my PhD and Postdoctoral work onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/et… Collegium Helveticum University of Zurich Swiss National Science Foundation Wenner-Gren Foundation

Our recently published paper by Anton Gerbrand, Gustaf Gredeback, Martina Hedenius, Linda Forssman, and Marcus Lindskog about statistical learning and vocabulary size in toddlerhood is here. doi.org/10.1111/infa.1…

I’m happy to finally report the data from the main project of my phd. Over 8 conditions of 32 8mo-old infants, we tested the hypothesis that human cognition starts altercentric instead of egocentric (Southgate, 2013; 2020) psyarxiv.com/7vcmp/ 1/17

New paper "Children overimitate adults and peers more than puppets" in Developmental Science (OA). Led by @RStengelin, with @DBMHaun, and twitter-less Luke Maurits, Rabea Ball. The title gives away the main finding 😉. For details see🧵or full text tinyurl.com/57cxvpd2 1/

New paper alert! 🚨 With Jun Yin and Gergely Csibra we tested whether adults interpret giving and taking in structurally different ways: the former as a social interaction ('A x B to C'); the latter as an instrumental action ('A x B'). sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 🧵👇 1/10

We are launching TimeStudio 3.23. (Matlab-based), a graphical user interface that facilitates data analysis. Please follow the latest tutorials prepared by Pär Nystrom. youtu.be/1VNF3rxlsgs

Great uncertainty in our understanding of the processes, function, and variability of early developing gaze following. Gustaf Gredebäck and I summarized our thoughts and concerns on this theme in “Five Big Questions”. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35871822/ Uppsala Child & Baby Lab @UU_University
