I don’t know about you guys, but the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon can be one of the most irritating things to experience and I’m really not looking forward to it becoming more frequent in late adulthood! #CofCDevSci

It’s really cool that though the older adult brain seems to be diminishing, it is actually still forming connections and new neurons are still generated! #CofCDevSci

[Sarah @SarahHelmick_1]

I think it’s very interesting to compare the developmental stages of young children and late in life adults! #cofcDevsci

I think it’s really frightening that the life expectancy rate in the U.S. has dropped in the past two years, after such a steady increase for so long previously. I wish people would understand how serious of an issue that is. #CofCDevSci

I though it was pretty funny that we all could relate about our parents calling us by our dogs names! #cofcDevsci

I think this article about emerging adulthood is especially great because it doesn’t put millennials in a bad light, and discusses the real life problems our generation faces. #CofcDevSci https://t.co/z2MR84vScj

I loved the discussion on emerging adulthood today. I think it is great that our society is accepting that young adults need more time to experience life and figure out who and what they want to be! #CofcDevSci

@emilylucchesi1 I was thinking the same thing! #CofCDevSci

[Sarah @SarahHelmick_1]

I thought it was really interesting learning how bloating children’s self esteems too much can be so detrimental #CofcDevSci

[Sarah @SarahHelmick_1]

I loved watching the video on altruism today! It’s so incredible to see the innate behavior in children at such a young age #CofcDevSci

[Sarah @SarahHelmick_1]

I really enjoyed learning about how important it is for preschoolers to talk aloud when completely tasks alone #CofCDevSci

[Sarah @SarahHelmick_1]

I wonder if Piaget accounted for the influence of caregivers in his theory of animistic thinking. I feel like adults often give inanimate objects living characteristics a lot when they are talking and playing with children #CofcDevSci

[Sarah @SarahHelmick_1]

Learning about the importance of infant-caregiver interactions today was really interesting to me! I knew it was important but had know idea just how crucial it is to infant development #CofcDevSci

[Sarah @SarahHelmick_1]

I was very shocked to learn that America is the leading developing country in mother mortality due to the healthcare system. Something I would have never guessed! #CofcDevSci

[Sarah @SarahHelmick_1]

@panktipatelcofc I found this really shocking as well! I still can’t believe it, and would love to read a study about it #CofcDevSci

[Sarah @SarahHelmick_1]

I really loved how the Nature vs. Nurture documentary talked about addiction, and that the object itself is not addictive but that some people are genetically predispositioned to possibly become addicted under certain environmental circumstances #CofCDevSci

[Sarah @SarahHelmick_1]

I really enjoyed looking at examples in class of inaccurate articles about gene expression, I think it’s definitely helpful to know how to determine the facts from fiction! #CofCDevSci

[Sarah @SarahHelmick_1]

I thought this article was interesting because it could spark some engaging conversation about violence exposure to children in today’s world.

I found this super cute and equally interesting article about the difference between the way infants laugh and the way adults laugh. It reminded me of the discussion we had about unique infant behaviors that are later lost.
