Hi @alisonpsych. I can’t help but notice that you have stopped tweeting your flash facts.

Last day of class and ready to see some presentations! #umassdev19

Bilingual children show greater executive function, but they are actually slower at bringing a word to memory. They need to think twice as hard to find the word! @clairedevpsych #umassdev19

To acquire language, babies innately calculate statistical patterns of speech. Those dudes are doing some serious mental math. @kcaputo_psych #umassdev19

Theory of mind develops as the child ages, the most rapid development occurring in the first 5 years of life! Who knew! @alisonpsych #umassdev19

[Zev the science guy🦖 @ZevGuy]

Babies observe and repeat behaviors, enabled by mirror neurons. @GardellaAnnie #umassdev19

@alisonpsych May Valhalla await you, @alisonpsych

Deferred imitation: children repeat behaviors that they observe. Culture matters too! Independent cultures show lower rates of deferred imitation whereas public schooling cultures show higher rates. @kaitlyndevpsych #umassdev19

Theory of mind develops earlier in children with siblings, driven by joint play activities. @mycobacteriagal #umassdev19

Packaged foods have high levels of iron, which is bad for baby cognitive outcomes. Don’t give your baby too much packaged food! @PriyankParikh12 #umassdev19

Babies can inherently distinguish between speech sounds not of their native language. They lose this ability around 8-12 months of age. Perceptual narrowing! @s0cialpsych0 #umassdev19

Incredible work for disabled people! Makes me wonder how far technology can go in interpreting our consciousness. Perhaps information processing theories can be taken a step further! #umassdev19

Scientists Create Speech From Brain Signals https://t.co/i7DaFcy7XO Not brilliant clarity ('As much as 70% was intelligible') but genuinely decoded at the rate of natural speech with no special training. Impressive work.

African Americans are stereotyped in the United States much more negatively than European Americans, even by African American children. #umassdev19
