Excited to share that this study focusing on frequency-dependent social learning in preschool children from my time at @fruehkindentw has recently been published!

The observation of a single dissenter who acted contrary to the majority made even preschool children think that the majority could be wrong. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

@tjvanhattan @Hallmark hilarious 😂

So you're saying you've abandoned true love in order to move to the big city and become a hardened business owner? SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE NEEDS A @Hallmark MAKEOVER.

Not only viruses spread! Our new @NatRevNeurosci paper with @e_knapska and @B_Lindstroem reviews cross-species research on the spread of threats, and other value-based information through social learning rdcu.be/b2SSZ

Dr. Eli Lebowitz of @YaleCSC advises parents to use this summer to “set the stage for the kinds of behaviors you want to see during the school year. Try to break out the different challenges so they don’t all happen on the first day of school.” wsj.com/articles/helpi…
