Some great content from @SussexBabyLab on vision development, color, and preferential looking in young infants! Do babies see the same colors as you and me? #week14 #umassdev22 #BabyScientists

Follow @WEHI_research for great medical research discoveries in development and aging. I just read an interesting paper on brain bleeds in young infants #week14 #umassdev22

Really appreciate how accessible @NeuroscienceNew makes neuroscience research consistently! One of my favorite reputable + easy-to-read sources #week14 #umassdev22

This is a really great piece about infant vision development. Did you know that infants in different cultures can develop different preferential looking? Infants are so curious and socially engaged at 7 months! #umassdev22 #week14

[Neuroscience News @NeuroscienceNew]

Infants Preferentially Perceive Faces in the Upper Visual Field

The upper visual field bias for faces emerges at around 7 months of age. Babies over 7 months developed a preference for memorizing the upper portions of a face.

The prototype theory is one way humans define things around us. It defines a prototype as composite of previously encountered items, rather than defining things based on their features, etc. #umassdev22 #week11

Drawing starts in children around 2.5 years old! Some psychologists think that drawing might be part of conceptual development, as children define things around themselves #umassdev22 #DrawingDevelopment #week11

So important and validating for many autistic adults to receive diagnoses. Also allows many to access services. I appreciate how this piece doesn't frame an autism diagnosis as unfortunate but rather valuable to many people! #umassdev22 #week11

[Michael @REDINGTONSCI]

Worth the read! An article about how many adult women are receiving autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnoses, possibly due to social expectations for women, a distinct presentation of autism in women, or general under-diagnosis #AutismAcceptanceMonth #week11 #umassdev22

[HuffPost @HuffPost]

"I waited almost 45 years to hear the three words that changed everything. Not 'I love you,' but 'You are autistic,'" says HuffPost guest writer Julie M. Green. https://t.co/He5H1YVG5M

I love how short but informative this article is! Important to explain research in a digestible way in order to have a wider reach. Maybe this piece will inspire those who have experienced ACEs to begin an exercise routine! #week11 #umassdev22

[Michael @REDINGTONSCI]

This is a great piece that discusses how an exercise routine can benefit those who experience adverse childhood experiences (abuse, neglect, loss of parent) and is associated with a more positive psychological state #RecoveryRunning #Goalplanning

[Neuroscience News @NeuroscienceNew]

A progressive exercise training program may help mitigate some of the psychological and physiological effects of adverse childhood experiences in otherwise healthy young women.

I love how this paper communicates about scientific research, but also connects this topic to its cultural implications and parenting styles. #week10 #umassdev22

[Michael @REDINGTONSCI]

Fascinating read about how children learn cause + effect and how their sense of safety may manifest in "acting out". Self regulation is important, but maybe bad behavior isn't so bad? #week10 #umassdev22 Why Your Kid’s Bad Behavior May Be a Good Thing https://t.co/UKyjE118Ks

Follow @meganabartlett to learn about @CHJSorg an organization that promotes using sports to help children affected by social inequity/trauma. Sports and exercise have a positive influence on brain + mind outcomes (with neuroscience research to back it up!!) #umassdev22 #week10
