today, @clairedevpsych presented about bilingual children and their development. bilingual children have advantages in performance of many tasks measuring executive function and cognitive control #umassdev19

in her presentation today, @kcaputo_psych explained how babies smile purely for biological reasons early in infancy. however, they learn to "social smile" after gaining social experience #umassdev19

i really liked hearing @alisonpsych talk about connections between parenting style and their child's attachment style! parents who fail to acknowledge their children's thoughts and feelings can result in children with insecure attachments :( #umassdev19

.@GardellaAnnie told us about how sex hormones can affect behavior. baby girls with XX hormones and low levels of androgens are less likely to engage in rough play and more likely to engage in social connections #umassdev19

great reminder about deferred imitation from @kaitlyndevpsych. parents have to be really careful about how they act in front of their children - kids notice and imitate a lot! #umassdev19

super cool how @ZevGuy focused on the concept of the active child in his presentation on child development. while kids can shape their learning and development to an extent, they remain limited by their cognitive abilities as they grow #umassdev19

. @mycobacteriagal talked about how pretend play, whether it's with an older or younger child, helps kids develop Theory of Mind (the way people understand others' intentions). It's good to know that playtime for children can be quantitatively beneficial! #umassdev19

I loved @s0cialpsych0 's focus on how a child's siblings and future classmates can affect the development of their gender identity! It's interesting how a child's toy preferences are an early indicator of their enjoyment of typically masculine or feminine activities #umassdev19

A recent study found that children associate jobs commonly held by European Americans as higher status compared to jobs commonly held by African Americans. Studying children’s worldview can reveal biases like these that may appear more subtly in adults. #umassdev19

Great article about the process of bringing a child to a psychologist. Kids are concrete thinkers, so psychologists need to go about treatment differently most times and must understand the childs family. Also: noticeable improvement can take time (like 12 weeks!) #umassdev19

have you ever wondered how male and female brains differ? while brains of opposite sexes have some small differences in structure, these differences don’t seem to have any effect on cognition #umassdev19
