Clinical Psych PhD student @EmoryUniversity @MarcusAutism | mechanisms of early intervention for infants and toddlers

[Katherine Pickard, PhD @KPickard522]

Packed house listening to @EllyKushner do a fabulous job describing NDBI strategies that support emotion regulation in autistic toddlers Thursday at #ABCT2024

[Marcus Autism Center @MarcusAutism]

We are incredibly proud of our very own Dr. Warren Jones, Director of Research at the Marcus Autism Center, and his team for their EarliPoint Evaluation tool, which was awarded a silver prize in the 2024 @EdisonAwards Health, Medical & Biotech category. https://t.co/djCX7Odk5d

[Katherine Pickard, PhD @KPickard522]

Excited to see our paper led by @EllyKushner come out. It used mixed methods, including electronic medical record data across over 1,000 sessions, to examine how an NDBI, Project ImPACT, was delivered and adapted with an outpatient setting. https://t.co/huroakkHDz

Could never have done it or anything since without the wonderful mentorship of the twitterless Emily Roemer and Jana Iverson!

[Elly Kushner @EllyKushner]

Excited to see my undergrad thesis published (only 4 years later)! We sought to understand how child social cues impact parent object labels, and what joint engagement contexts facilitate language learning for children with diverse developmental outcomes. https://t.co/LbSEKQpMVm

How does singing to infants support social engagement?

Check out our new paper in @PNASNews on how musical rhythm sensitivity during infant-directed singing entrains infants' social visual behavior:

A few highlights in the 🧵/

[Katherine Pickard, PhD @KPickard522]

Excited to see our systematic review come out on the extent to which emotion regulation has been measured and supported within the context of parent-mediated intervention for young autistic children. Thanks Nicole Hendrix, Grace Binion, and @EllyKushner https://t.co/5gl2aarimu

[Elly Kushner @EllyKushner]

How interesting and relevant for those of us interesting in parent-child interaction in autism. Parents expect and respond to certain social cues from children but are those inherently the most important cues/contexts for learning?

[Sam Wass @ProfSamWass]

...instead our findings suggest that the effects of mutual gaze are strongest at the within-brain level, and only in the ‘sender’ but not the ‘receiver’ of the mutual gaze.

[Jens Madsen @cogniemotion]

Did you know that our brains, pupils, gaze and heart rate synchronize with other people when we watch videos? But why? And which signals should or should not synchronize?

We test a new theory on 150+ people, with @lucas_c_parra. Out in @PNASNexus: https://t.co/FRaemJEGwt

Prepping for a #psych course this semester & want to make your lectures more fun? Or just want to watch cute TikToks? Re-vamping this thread w/ child dev #TikTok examples we used for our intro psych course last year--please keep adding to the collection as you find good ones! 👇

[Elly Kushner @EllyKushner]

How did teachers experience implementing a school-based naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention to support social-emotional learning for students with and without ASD? We asked them!

If you are or know an amazing undergrad interested in developmental science, please share these opportunities! This fellowship was such a wonderful experience I never left :)

[Sanju Koirala @KoiralaSanju1]

Hi #AcademicTwitter , sharing this amazing (post-bacc) research fellowship opportunities @MarcusAutism to better understand ASD. International students are also eligible! As an alum, I'm happy to answer any Qs! Here's the link: https://t.co/oy2Vxm1D29

[Elly Kushner @EllyKushner]

What a paper! An incredibly important topic I often struggle to talk about well: how can we reconcile a neurodiversity lens with intervention work in autism. Can't wait to talk about this with everyone I know!!

Item analysis, a psychometric technique, selects few items (from a large pool) to index a psychological construct.

The {tab_itemscale} function from {sjPlot} 📦 carries out and produces elegant HTML tables for item analysis 🧽

Sometimes you may wish to display results from a statistical test in a graphics you have prepared.

The {statsExpressions} 📦 functions, like {corr_test}, provide the necessary expressions 👏
