New open access paper with @drmack.bsky.social! 🎉 The menstrual cycle has non-linear effects on pattern separation as measured by the mnemonic similarity task (MST). Perceived stress facilitates pattern separation performance independent of the menstrual cycle.

Apparently the scheduler has been tricky for people to work with. We had a date wrong below and now just got access to rooms. Please see updated schedule of CoCoDev presentations from/with our lab here!

#SRCD2025 come check out the Toronto Early Cognition Lab (@jessicas.bsky.social)! @elainewang.bsky.social will also be presenting work with @julia-a-leonard.bsky.social that we got to collaborate on :)

Come check out the EAST & DoT Labs at #SRCD. 🤩 I'm excited to share our work on children's causal reasoning about historical structural barriers, as well as their pragmatic inferences from what others seek--and do not seek--to explain!

From input to action: Examining how subtle contextual cues sustain gender inequalities in childhood Friday, May 2nd, 11:30-1:00PM (Room 200A) When seeking an explanation is an explanation: Children’s ability group stereotypes are influenced by explanation-seeking Jamie Amemiya, Serena Spada, Molly Tallberg, & Lin Bian The role of family inequality on children’s normative understanding of household labor Kiana Gee, Allegra J. Midgette, & Nadia Chernyak Gender inequities in expectations for invisible labor begin in childhood and persist into adulthood Mia Radovanovic, Tim Wei-Ting Chao, Nila Curtosi, Sofia Westerhoff, Emma Soler, & Jessica A. Sommerville The role of gender stereotypes in shaping communality in children Cameron Hall, Katharina Block, Antonya M. Gonzalez, Andrei Cimpian, Toni Schmader, & Andrew Scott Baron

Come to our symposium w/ @jamieamemiya.bsky.social, Kiana Gee, & Cameron Hall at #SRCD2025. We'll talk about how children may acquire, internalize, and perpetuate gender stereotypes. I'm really excited for this one, I think the talks build on each other well to unravel different mechanisms!

The Early Child Cognition Research Group at ASU (PIs: Kelsey Lucca and Viridiana Benitez) will be presenting our work at #SRCD2025! Hope to see you there!

I’m not saying AI is evil — god forbid I be that moralistic and clear — I’m saying it is worse than that. It’s MID. Too mid to do much more than externalize some risk, produce some mid documents, and accelerate climate risk as a cute little benefit.

People-pleasing linked to gender differences in problem-solving: Study A new study found that, on average, girls excel at replicating the teacher’s instructions in the classroom — even when those instructions are wrong.

Research led by Psychology PhD candidate @radovanovic.bsky.social & Prof. @jessicas.bsky.social is investigating how people-pleasing socialization influences how children solve problems.

Children consider others’ need and reputation in costly sharing decisions - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Children consider others’ need and reputation in costly sharing decisions

New paper!

Children’s sharing is influenced by factors like others' need and reputation, but research has typically examined these factors in isolation. This study explores how different combinations of need and reputation affect costly sharing decisions.

For decades, developmental psychologists have noticed that optimism declines with age. Why does this presumably good thing decrease across development? In this Nature Reviews Psych article, @jessicas.bsky.social and I draw from prior hypotheses to offer an integrated account.

Toddlers’ Helping Behavior Is Affected by the Effortful Costs Associated With Helping Others Although the presence of early helping behavior has been firmly established, it is unclear to what extent children are willing to adopt costs to help others, as well as how this willingness changes a...

Looking for to seeing folks in Glasgow for ICIS!!! Here are our lab presentations!

we've launched our newest citizen-science game, Tone Guesser, led by postdoc and webdev whiz @courtneybhilton.bsky.social

it's both fun and hard (!) and tests your intuitions about tones in music and colour.
