Hi tweeps, I normally don't do big personal things, but in this Spring of success, I feel compelled to share (thread):

Excited to share one of my PhD projects with @EdNeuroLab-the first neuroimaging study on fraction processing in children! Our findings showed that even 2nd graders, who haven't received formal fraction instruction, can process fraction magnitudes. dx.doi.org/10.1111/desc.7…

Hey All...the search continues...

🙈🙉🙊 New preprint alert 🙊🙉🙈 Are baboons good statisticians? Can they recognize the trend of a noisy scatterplot? What do they base their judgments on? The answers are in our new preprint with @StanDehaene and other amazing collaborators. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@IcyZhang4 I see you also updated your bio! It's Twitter official now!

@EdNeuroLab Thank you Ed!!! Very looking forward to this new chapter 🤩

Guess who defended her dissertation🥹 Life update: I will be joining #UWMadison as an assistant professor in Learning Science.

Understanding real-world contexts should come first in responsible AI development. @lkwhite features some of the projects Sadhana and I are leading @uwedpsychology to make AI useful for teachers and students. @UWMadEducation @WCER_UW education.wisc.edu/news/uw-madiso…

Danny Kahneman was an amazingly creative and original scientist and a wonderful human being. I was lucky to have several conversations with him, all incredibly clever and insightful. We miss him. ON KAHNEMAN | Edge.org edge.org/conversation/d…

Re-sharing this database of BIPOC-authored papers from across psychology. This is a wonderful resource, esp. for those aiming to diversify their syllabi, journal clubs, citation networks, and general awareness. Please add your or others' papers! #gid=666010790" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Come join the Cognitive Origins Lab at UW-Madison! We are hiring two full time lab managers to start this summer! One specializing in child development and one in non-human primate cognition. Application links below. Application Deadline April 10, 2024

Introducing the Action-Mode Network – AMN. Better late than never! 17 years ago, we clumsily called this the Cingulo-opercular Network (CON) based on its anatomy (we weren’t exactly sure what it does). Now we’ve finally got the evidence to give it the functional name it deserves: the Action-mode Network (AMN). Find our arguments here: osf.io/preprints/psya… with the peerless Marc Raichle and the brilliant @gordonneuro. 🧵 ↓

We still need many more native English volunteers for our simple test of math vocabulary -- click on this link: neurospin-data.cea.fr/exp/mathssim-en Please pass the word around! it only takes 15 minutes.

Does your fMRI task involve response times? If so, you should check out our new paper in order to avoid condition difference effect estimates from being driven by RT differences. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Our longitudinal study of sound symbolism is finally out! We tested infants at 4, 8, and 12 months, and only found a hint of sound symbolism emerging at 12. With @PennyPexman @AngelikiAthan @slarcher @suz_l_curtin and N. Czarnecki journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
