Anyone I know going to EPA this year?? I’m going for the first time (for students) and non of my normal conference buddies are attending!

Putting probably too much stock in a new cafe to help me revive an ancient manuscript. Send good corpse-reviving juju.

First evidence of mother-offspring #attachment types in wild chimpanzees. New study @nathumbehav.nature.com led by @elerolland.bsky.social, Cathy Crockford & @romanwittig.bsky.social. @cnrs.fr @isc-mj.bsky.social @taichimpproject.bsky.social See: tinyurl.com/mr27cpfc & www.nature.com/articles/s41...

(I have some interesting animacy sub-category effects and eye tracking data - another time). So how you test animate/inanimate memory matters. Stay tuned!

IN FACT (oddly), we found more false recognition for animate lures. I replicated this finding in a separate adult sample. We were left a little confused...

I took advantage of this fact! We're finding larger PSW to animates vs. objects in both children and adults.

#SRCD2025 recap: a data re-use story!
I've been exploring the "animacy effect" (we remember things that are alive more than inanimate objects). I realized Leslie Rollins "accidentally" collected neural data on this when we were in grad school together and we've been re-analyzing kid and adult ERPs.
Did I plan for #SRCD2025 ahead of time? No. Did I make cute Canva pics to plug my presentations? Also no. Did I print a poster on site? Yes. Did I have a great time? Also yes.
Let’s start the recap with the lab alumni! All PhDing or Post-docing (docking?) in amazing dev labs across the land ♥️🤓
The folks at #SRCD2025 finally convinced me to get with the times and join BlueSky. Hi all 👋🏻
