Today we wrapped up data collection for the year! Thank you to the 600+ families we saw in 2023 for making it a truly memorable year 🙂. Wishing you all a restful holiday season. Glædelig Jul ❄️

We look forward to welcoming many more babies (and making many more of these .gifs...for parents 😉)

This week we finally started data collection for our new longitudinal projects on the emergence of self! Brand new lab space and lots of people making this happen, including @_emy @SketchySk @VelisarM and @SINeLabDTU @DEVOMINDLab

Congratulations to @dora_kampis for a great talk on Altercentric bias in 14-month-olds' semantic processing @Tweet_JPS today!
🔜 more about her work in the poster session tomorrow: PO3.9 Infants start out altercentric and become more self-focused with age

[Centre for Early Childhood Cognition🦉 @DEVOMINDLab]

Research from our lab was just featured @Tweet_JPS conference yesterday as part of a symposium organised by Katarina Begus with @CecileGal, @FrancescPoli and @varga_blnt. Thanks to the excellent researchers who took part in our symposium and all who came to hear about our work!

We recently welcomed a group of high school students from the International School of Hellerup who are studying psychology to our lab! We talked about the kind of research we do here, the methods we use and what they can tell us about developing cognition @CopenhagenPsych

[dora kampis @dora_kampis]

One of the first projects started @devomindlab is finally out! With @vhsouthgate, Dimitris Askitis @SketchySk, &non-tweeting Helle Duplessy, we show that preschoolers do better on a communicative perspective-taking task (Director task) after a brief imitation-inhibition training.

Here @CopenhagenPsych, we have Babylabs doing both basic and applied research, all with the aim of a better understanding of how early development shapes children's futures. Check out our new film featuring some very cute 👶👶@DEVOMINDlab @mette_vaever

Great to have @celestekidd from @UCBerkeley give a wonderful impromptu talk on information sampling, uncertainty and certainty at our @DEVOMINDLab meeting today!

We’re excited to attend the #BCCCD conference in Budapest this week. Come chat with us! You can hear about our research in posters a-33, b-28, c-47 & c-49.

[Victoria Southgate @vhsouthgate]

Check out this short video we made about our @DEVOMINDLab to show parents what we do here, and why. We think it turned out very nicely 👶

Congratulations to @VelisarM who submitted his dissertation last week! 🎓🦉

[Centre for Early Childhood Cognition🦉 @DEVOMINDLab]

We are very excited to launch this research, have already met several curious babies that helped us develop our studies, and we are very much looking forward to seeing more families in the lab!
You can read more about the research in this article: https://t.co/DOG1MmBNMa

[Centre for Early Childhood Cognition🦉 @DEVOMINDLab]

Our lab has recently been joined by an excellent young researcher, @CecileGal! She is working as a postdoc on the Curiosity project with Katarina Begus. The @DFF_raad funded project investigates what motivates babies to learn and how babies' curiosity develops between 1 & 2 years

[Victoria Southgate @vhsouthgate]

New work from our @DEVOMINDLab led by @_emy with @SketchySk and @VelisarM in which we provide initial evidence using pupillometry that the emergence of a self-representation at ~18 months may be critical in experiencing a conflict in perspectives.
