Love the relatable examples too for kids!

Memory problems will change how you see the world...literally 👀

Across two new papers, we examined the eye movement patterns of younger adults, older adults, individuals with mild cognitive impairment, and amnesic cases.

Love this article! We need more real-life memory studies.
Here is an example study and review from our lab…child development focus.

I don’t remember when I first heard of Jane Goodall. She was there before I knew anything, showing me that you can do science without following the old rules. Thank you Jane, for creating a path through the forest.

Looking forward to reading this. Congrats!!

Congrats!!

Among all the craziness, exciting and beautiful science from Jessica Cantlon’s lab — Intersection of spatial and numerical cognition in the developing brain url:https://academic.oup.com/cercor/article/35/6/bhaf126/8157441

It was good! Thanks to all the organizers, panelists and speakers including @charan-neuro.bsky.social. Thanks to all the amazing trainees for the impressive talks. #TAMeG2025 Already looking forward to next year.

“We want scientists who hold identities that may be under attack to know that we are proud to be your colleagues, and that our science is stronger as a result of your being in this field.“

Thanks Amy for sharing!Thinking about you & all my colleagues & friends in the US.

“..we want students and colleagues––especially those working in areas that are under attack––to know that we believe the science you are doing is important and will make children’s lives better, and we urge you to keep on doing it.”

Unfortunately, the NSF grant that supports our work has been terminated. This is a setback, but our mission has not changed. We will continue to work hard on making cognitive science a more inclusive field. Stay tuned for upcoming events.

Dear Developmental Colleagues, I’m a developmental psychologist, Associate Professor (Teaching), and Undergraduate Program Director for the Department of Psychology at the University of Calgary. I specialize in social emotional learning, peer relationships, and children’s media. On March 25th, a developmental psychology graduate student at Tufts University in Massachusetts was abducted by the United States government. Rumeysa Ozturk is a PhD student in Child Study & Human Development with a focus on prosocial development and children’s media. She is from Turkey and was studying in the USA on a student visa. Her visa was revoked when she participated in political letter writing asking Tufts University to acknowledge the Palestinian genocide. This political activity made her a target. No peaceful political activity should ever lead to unlawful detainment. The Palestinian-Israel conflict is heartbreaking. My spouse and child are Jewish, we lost an Israeli family member on October 7th, 2022. I’ve seen increases in anti-semitism on university campuses in the past two years, but I know and I acknowledge that the majority of protestors are not hateful, and they want peace and human rights. Rumeysa Ozturk is one of us. Therefore, I am calling on leaders in Developmental Psychology to stand up for Ozturk, to pressure academic societies such as SRCD, SRA, & ISSBD to release a statement regarding her unjust abduction. We need to shine a spotlight and put international pressure on this abduction to help ensure her safety and release. Please also consider writing your political representatives. Ozturk has been relocated from Massachusetts to Louisiana. Her lawyer has lost contact with her in the past day. Our efforts can make a difference during these critical days. Sincerely, Kathleen Hughes, PhD Associate Professor (Teaching) Undergraduate Program Director University of Calgary

I am calling on all #devpsyc colleagues to condemn & speak out about the abduction of Rumeysa Ozturk by the US govt on March 25, 2025. She is a developmental psychology graduate.

Congrats! Developmental cognitive neuroscience at its best.

#TAMeG2025 is coming (our 10th anniversary!) May 27 feat keynote @charan-neuro.bsky.social and panel on SciCom & Disinformation, with Carrie Boyce of RCIScience, @schalllab.bsky.social & @barense.bsky.social (chair)

Call for presentations is open for GTA and southern ON trainees 👉 tameg.ca!

Please see www.childmemorystudy.com for more info.

New study alert!! For families with kids 4-16 years old. Amazing team of students and collaborators including @lindsaymalloy.bsky.social This first study is open to families in Canada and USA. (Watch these 3 video clips to learn more and please share)

Thanks Nick! Next year I am teaching a newly developed grad course (Professional issues in Dev Psych and Neuroscience). Plan to discuss careers outside academia with examples and this article would be cool to include. Thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to reading!

Would like to be added if there is still room. Thanks!

I would like to be added please
