Child Brain & Perception Lab

Summer session is in full swing with a record number of RAs! Dr.@CharissePickron recently presented at lab meeting about our research and the breadth of studies we'll be running this summer.

Two of our doctoral students gave practice talks about bias development today to prepare for the @SRCDtweets conference.

Lab meeting journal article presentation! These RAs engaged us in an interesting discussion about the effect of infant facial recognition of an unfamiliar-race person based on them speaking baby's native or non-native language. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Publication alert! Congrats to CBP Lab director @CharissePickron for her work on perceptual specialization in a Multiracial context. frontiersin.org/journals/psych…

Here's to another year of working with amazing doctoral students! Meet second-year Beyza Kazan, who studies how less perceptually distinct social categories such as culture and religion impact children's categorization of information and people. #gradstudentoftheweek @UMN_ICD

We just sent out the first edition of our CBP Lab newsletter! Check out Little Learners Press, and drop us a line of feedback. drive.google.com/file/d/1Ph8wkw…

We're fortunate to have fabulous doctoral students working in our lab! Meet second-year Shi Xin Ooi, who studies how concepts of race and gender affect children's formation of social categories. #gradstudentoftheweek @UMN_ICD

Our fabulous RAs Ashley & Ariana gave an article presentation at lab meeting today about anti-Black implicit & explicit bias among children in Brazil.

Know any families with Multiracial kiddos between 4-8 years old? The CBP Lab is starting a new online study! Participants should fill out this demo form neu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dn… as the first.

Huge congrats to Dr. @CharissePickron for publishing a paper in the Infancy journal! Read her article, Infants' individuation of human faces across race and identity: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/in…

@AnaliaAlbuja @AndyLuttrell5 Thanks for sharing. Just listened to it!

It was such a treat to talk with @AndyLuttrell5 about our new JPSP paper on roommates' cross-race contact! Now, any tips for how to listen to your own voice without cringing?? 😅

We ended summer session on a great note with root beer floats at our last lab meeting and volunteering at the Diaper Bank of MN. Now to prep for fall semester!

Congrats to Vandita, our longtime research assistant, on completing her Pathways to Graduate School fellowship this summer. She presented her research on toddlers' prosocial behavior at our final lab meeting and will have a poster at this week's undergraduate research symposium.

Bella, one of our summer RAs, has quickly learned how to create Areas of Interest in Tobii Pro Lab for our toddler eye-tracking study. She even used the word "fun." Who knew making AOIs could be so exciting?!

We are so proud of @erikardeangelis, who delivered an amazing dissertation defense this morning about epistemic injustice. @CharissePickron served as the chair of her dissertation committee.

Celebrating the end of the semester with burgers & malts! Thanks to all our fabulous students, and congrats to the graduating seniors.

Students presented their final reflections today at our last lab meeting of the semester. The #1 theme was gaining confidence in the research sphere. We'll miss all our graduating seniors!

Dr. @CharissePickron is proud of CBP Lab all-stars Abby & Anuk! They presented their face processing study findings at the recent UMN Undergraduate Research Symposium.
