There is still time to sign up for our Parent-Child Game Play study! We are recruiting children ages 5 & 6 years old. Families are mailed games to play, and can participate from home! Sign up by going to: go.umd.edu/playstudy_sign… Please share with anyone who may be interested!

Check out this awesome new publication from @nicole_scalise, one of our former grad students! A year's worth of data on preschoolers' symbolic magnitude skills, addition skills, cardinality, EF, age, and gender.... what more could you want!

Our lab has 3 virtual studies you can participate in - please share widely!

Are you a preschool or kindergarten teacher? If so, you're eligible to participate in our new virtual study! Sign up to participate on your own time - you'll complete a short survey and submit a short video. Scan the QR code or click here to sign up (tiny.cc/UMDTeacherStudy)

We're recruiting 3 to 5 year old kids and their parents to participate in our lab's new study! If you like picture books and games, this one is for you. This study is asynchronous - so you get to participate whenever works best for your family and upload your video afterwards.

Our lab's first online study is live - check it out!

Congratulations, Dr. Scalise! We’re so excited to see everything you do moving forward and are SO proud of your accomplishments. We’ll miss you!

Great article featuring @ezippert, alum of the @UMDECilab, and @BethanyRittle about the math abilities of preschoolers. Nice work, Erica and Bethany! news.vanderbilt.edu/2019/08/16/pre…

Said goodbye to @ntavassolie, our lab manager, as she heads off to begin grad school at @TempleUniv in the @GundersonLab this fall! We’ll miss you Nadia!

Some fab lab time at #MCLS2019 - See you all next year!

We have arrived to campus on this beautiful day and excited for the preconferences to start. @mathcogsociety @UMDEciLab #MCLS19

In the past 7 days our lab members finished data collection for 3 different studies (1 of which is for a longitudinal dissertation, and 1 had 14 visits per kid) AND moved our entire lab to a brand new space with windows.

Happy end of the semester from our lab!

Summer 2019 Planning Meeting is underway! Study designing, staff planning, data collection schedules and more. Good thing we ordered lunch!

.@gbramani of @UMDEciLab: We know that tablets are everywhere. Our goal is to develop educational games that are based on *research* to develop math and cognitive skills. #SRCD19

And just like that, #SRCD19 is over. Thanks for the wonderful talks, posters, data sharing, and more. Safe travels to all the non-Maryland folks, and see you all next time!
