Want to know how corrective feedback functions in early childhood to support learning? Check out our new review in Educational Psychologist. @MeganMerrick6 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Thank you Ma’am, for everything.

I am part of the Graduate Student Council for IU's Brain and Psychological Sciences Department. We are trying to get a grasp on the field level norms and expectations for qualifying exams in order to better advocate for students. Please comment on your quals experience! Thanks!

It's a strange experience when the last week of summer is loaded with the same degree of anxiety as a typical finals week. Almost done with qualifying exams!!

Looking forward to giving my first official conference talk at #CogSci2022 on Friday morning! Come check out what is bound to be an amazing oral talk session on education!

Qualifying exams is quite the process... almost done with paper 1 and my brain hurts!! Can't wait to do it all over again for paper 2, starting after the holiday weekend 🙃

Reviving academic twitter for #CDS2022! Stop by my poster on Friday (tomorrow) evening! “The effects of person vs. computer feedback of children’s motivation in mathematics” - poster number 2-H-36 during poster session #2 from 5:45-7:00pm. See you there!

Best practices in online testing of children: make sure that the child is not holding a chicken! (Mark Sheskin at #CDS2022)

@_BrandoCarrillo I also beat my mile time that afternoon - looks like you’re going to have to go for a run now! 😂💪🏻 #WorkLifeBalance

@_BrandoCarrillo Wow I guess it’s the week for giving 2 talks in one day! I gave 2 back to back talks at different lab meetings on Monday! Great work!

Out in Child Dev! What counts as information in early learning? We show that children jointly consider others’ emotional expressions and prior knowledge when exploring a novel causal toy, providing further evidence for “emotion as information.” w/@hyogweon tinyurl.com/yunk399u

Researchers use a computer model to explain how #children integrate different types of information during word learning. New study in @NatureHumBehav by @elManuBohn (@MPI_EVA_Leipzig), @mhtessler, @MeganMerrick6 & @mcxfrank. See: bit.ly/3wVfRUJ & nature.com/articles/s4156…

My advisor @FyfeEmily does such cool, exciting, and important work! ManyClasses is one of her many innovative projects.

@MansiPJoshi @AndrewLikesPsyc Totally! Ryan had to put earplugs in during a walk about the neighborhood and I always scream when one lands on me!

this was @AndrewLikesPsyc and I when we went on a walk in our neighborhood 😭😭

@LauraXijiaZhou Happy birthday!! Miss you all!!

Got so surprised that for a moment I thought I entered the wrong Zoom room😜

Ending the first day of my 25th. Envy me; caz I have the best lab mates in the world! You are my gifts in life 🥳🥰

Very informative and helpful Bayesian workshop this afternoon! You all are amazing instructors - I learned a lot! #SRCD2021

@yang_wu_ Wonderful news!! Congrats!!

In 2022, I’ll be joining U of Toronto at Scarborough as an asst prof. My lab will study the role of emotion as information in early learning & reasoning, bridging gaps across developmental, cognitive & affective sciences. Come work w/ me in this emerging, interdisciplinary field!

Some people say grad school is a marathon, not a sprint. It's neither. It's not a race at all. It's about becoming part of - and contributing to - an intellectual and professional community.

Thank you to my advisor @FyfeEmily for taking so much time and care to guide me through my first grant attempt. I’m looking forward to applying for many more!

In honor of normalizing failure I would like to announce that I did not receive the #NSFGRFP! Receiving overwhelming positive reviews has only encouraged me to continue on with my research program focused on how differing sources of feedback affect STEM learning in children.
