@si_p_rine Thanks for your interest! For right now, I'm only accepting applicants for the PhD program. However, the US PhD track includes a masters obtained after the first two years. You do not need a Masters degree already to apply. Feel free to email me with any more questions!

I plan to admit 1-2 PhD students to join my lab at Emory (https://t.co/asaLIFk9Ws).

I am especially interested in folks hoping to study (1) infant social cognition or (2) how language/speech influences children's social reasoning (& be co-advised by @lnygaar).

Please share!

New manuscript, led by the dev psychologist Ivan Kroupin (@Helen_E_Davis & TC Zeng). Nearly all research on cognitive development (IQ, executive function, memory, etc.) is done in schooled worlds--in communities in which children are raised by people who attended formal schools.

"...if experience directly influences cognitive development, the relationships observed across cultural settings should also manifest within cultural settings." New comment article out in @NatRevPsych

Great news! 🥳 Led by the amazing @MatejaHajdi, a new Max Planck Research Group for Hominin Palaeogenomics started @MPI_EVA_Leipzig. 😊😍 Using cutting-edge #aDNA methods, its goal is to shed light on past encounters between hominin groups. @maxplanckpress https://t.co/AwdMSIyJcY

Are explorative choices suppressed when costs of failure are high? Study spoiler: We found more exploration in variable conditions-to meet the needs of changing environments-but less exploration when the costs of making a bad decision were high. https://t.co/0QxtiCA90h

[Sarah Pope-Caldwell @SezDoesScience]

Exploration doesn't simply decrease over the lifespan but is refined as our search heuristics become more efficient! Great study from @TheCharleyWu, Anna Giron & @SimiCiri

Check out our new registered report in @PLOSONE! Here we will look at how Congolese children’s sharing norms develop throughout childhood and how this differs depending on whether sharing occurs with members of their own cultural group or a neighboring one
