How does early bilingualism affect social attention strategies? ๐ In our new preprint, we use within-trial growth curve analysis to test differences in how monolingual and bilingual children allocate their attention over time to static faces and dynamic mouths. (1/3)
We found that after initially looking at faces & mouths, biling infants disengaged more than monos to view other areas of the scene (7-18mo, n=131). In contrast, biling toddlers increased mouth-looking more over stimulus time than monos (18-34mo, n=745 from @DevelopingHCP) (2/3).
Applications are still open to our MA/MSc Programme in Developmental Science and Neurodiversity! If you are a graduate of psychology/related discipline or soon-to-be, this is a great opportunity to learn cutting-edge contemporary developmental research - https://t.co/KZGv2kCTu9
Weโre thrilled to announce the official launch of the Brite Ultra, our cutting edge mass #fNIRS hyperscanning system. Join us at our Hyperscanning Summer School to discovery its full potential!

More detail here: https://t.co/N8Pa5j2Xn4 & code available here: https://t.co/fSiLiR1ZLe. Grateful for wonderful co-authors Letizia, @re_re84, @PaolaPinti & Denis, the @BirkbeckBabylab / @BirkbeckUoL Toddlerlab, and funding from the @LeverhulmeTrust. (4/4)
Happy to share our new study on neural synchrony during children's collaborative problem-solving! We use wearable fNIRS (@Artinis_MS) to replicate findings that synchrony emerges between 4-6yos and parents during collaboration & provide new insight into what it might mean. (1/4)
New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Victoria St. Clair, Denis Mareschal, et al:
Analytical pipeline optimisation in developmental fNIRS hyperscanning data: Neural coherence between 4- to 6-year old children collaborating with their mothers
https://t.co/1aIoYOtzyg
we create a pseudodyad distribution that preserves task-related frequencies whilst disrupting temporal information in the signal. Results suggest synchrony is at least partially related to patterns of social interaction & isn't driven entirely by a shared task/environment. (3/4)
NEEDED! Research assistants for spring data collection. Experience with deaf children & BSL? Want to grow your research skills? Apply by Fri 7th Feb! Mandatory in-person training: Tues 25th Feb. Questions? Email [email protected]. #PaidJob#ResearchOpportunity
ONLY 5 MORE TO GO! We are looking for five profoundly/severely deaf 4-year-old children currently in Reception to join our longitudinal project. If you have a child or know someone who might be interested, please reach out! Couldn't have done this without your support! #THANKYOU
๐จ We are recruiting a research assistant (2 yrs to start) to work with myself and colleagues at the CBCD - working on the new SENSOR longitudinal cohort study https://t.co/jMkeE7ZBxp 1/4
Great to be part of this with @EvelyneMercure! Look for ch. 39 if you're interested in experience-dependent plasticity in infants' brain activation for language ๐๐ง
Excited to share that the Oxford University Press Handbook of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience is now published! ๐ Huge thanks to all the incredible contributors who made this possible. Start exploring with a free read of the first chapter: https://t.co/grxGjEPxv7
