View onto the stage of an auditorium, title slide of my talk showing a child and a parent interact in sign. Title of the presentation: ‘Exploring visual pathways for label-object mapping in signing and speaking children’ and a video-recording of me presenting in the corner of the screen
Really excited I was able to present my work at #BUCLD ! Thanks for everyone who attended my talk and asked great questions!

Coming to CogSci 2025 - where do we look when watching sign language? Deaf signers look at the face (tho novice hearer-speakers look at the hands), showing how the language faculty adapts to different modalities.

Exciting news - three years after visiting @amymlieberman.bsky.social in Boston for 6 wonderful weeks, our project on joint attention and sign familiarity in ASL has been published!

Watch and learn. 👀 🧠
I’ve written often about how infants learn language not just with their ears, but with their eyes.
But I’ve rarely run across a better video example than this lovely moment shared to IG by seanandcaitlin.

In 2025 I’m writing threads summarising papers by my amazing team here at MPI-PL. No.4: Sander, Zhang & Rowland on learning in multimodal interaction:Commentary on Karadöller, Sümer & Özyürek @yayun23.bsky.social

Together with @carorowland.bsky.social and @yayun23.bsky.social I wrote a commentary on Karadöller, Sümer and Özyürek:
Language acquisition occurs in multimodal social interaction
Find it here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
2 line graphs with vocabulary on y axis and age on x axis, with a line showing growth with age, together with points indicating individual children
1st results from the 1st ever Sign Language of the Netherlands CDI. Results for children's comprehension and production, reliably correlate with age. All the work of the extraordinary Jenni Sander and Dilys Eikelboom @jennisander.bsky.social

Jenni presenting her poster, wearing a blazer and jeans. Several people stand in front of the poster and the poster title is: “Through the Eyes of the Learner: Examining Attentional Dynamics in Signed Caregiver-Child Interactions using Head-Mounted Eye-Tracking”
In case you missed my poster at #TISLR15 today, find me tomorrow or send me a message and let’s have a chat!
We are able to show that signing children do indeed get parallel input of object and object labels on a regular base and that bimodal bilingual children’s show modality specific patterns!
You can now find a starter pack with our researchers, alumni and collaborative partners currently on Bluesky. Please dm us to add to the pack. go.bsky.app/rthUcG
