🤔How can parents have more engaging conversations with their kids?
A new study from @ariel_kalil and @LuLinxi003 evaluated in a lab setting the Chat2Learn program that provides open-ended conversation prompts with illustrations for parents.

@ECE_EdUHK Hi Sofie, it’s so nice to hear from you! I’d love to swing by and say hello:)) You are also more than welcomed to join my award ceremony (I got the SRCD outstanding dissertation award) Thursday afternoon if you find that interesting

[Linxi Lu @LuLinxi003]

Just realized #SRCD2025 only accepts paper symposium submissions, not individual papers. Hoping to find a home for our two interesting papers! If you're looking for additional papers for your symposium or want to collaborate on a new one, please let me know!

[Linxi Lu @LuLinxi003]

Dear editors, I'm a postdoc researching math cognition, early home learning environment, and parent-child interactions, with publications in DP, JECP, ECRQ, etc. If you need a quick and responsive reviewer in these areas, I'd love to help! 📩 [email protected]

[Linxi Lu @LuLinxi003]

This is an incredible postdoc opportunity, and I can personally vouch for the amazing experience! Feel free to reach out if you’re considering applying—I’d be happy to chat!

Excited to share our new paper! 🎉

We explore how SES shapes early math engagement, finding:
1.SES-related variability in parents’ spontaneous focus on numeracy (SFON).
https://t.co/MRepmN9mgD moderates the link between SFON and parental math talk during play.

Check it out!

@davidjpurpura @JasonChow @gbramani @jime_cosso Wow @davidjpurpura your study seems super relevant to our study#2! I would love to discuss our findings with you. Let’s definitely connect soon.

[Linxi Lu @LuLinxi003]

@DrBeltranGrimm Not yet! Would love to chat more about it :))(

[Linxi Lu @LuLinxi003]

Paper #2 looks into how different materials (math focused digital app vs. analog materials) impact the dynamic of parent-child interactions.

🌟IT’S OUT🌟

Our meta-analysis of parent math talk and child math skills finds a small sig assoc (b=.10) across 280 effect sizes from 22 studies

Such a wonderful collab with @DAlvarezVargas @drewhalbailey

[Linxi Lu @LuLinxi003]

Can’t believe that I received the 2024 outstanding dissertation award from #AERADivisionE! Grateful for all the support along this journey! A great motivation to keep pursuing the research in SES disparities in home learning environment. @Eric_Dearing @Sclammie @bclynchschool

[Mary DePascale @MaryDePascale]

We are recruiting parents of 5- to 6-year-old children for a study on early learning activities. Participants will complete brief surveys (less than 15 minutes) and receive a $10 gift card. Sign up at: https://t.co/oylCHmoEeY. Please share with anyone who may be interested!

[Linxi Lu @LuLinxi003]

Thrilled to share I’ll join @UChicago @HarrisPolicy as a postdoc scholar, working with @ariel_kalil. I’ll keep working on understanding factors that might impact home learning environments and ways to promote early cognitive development.

[Linxi Lu @LuLinxi003]

Successfully defended my dissertation on SES disparities in the home math environment and early math development. Having three empirical studies was bittersweet but I’m finally Dr. Lu!!!
Many thanks to Drs. Marina Vasilyeva, Elida Laski, @Eric_Dearing @Sclammie @bclynchschool
