100% of UOLearningLab team has a heightened risk profile for one reason or another. all of us very much hoping for universal masking indoors.

#ICIS2022 Sun-day Fun-day. Check out Ally Kuznia's poster at 10a -- Cross-situational word retention & Heather Anderson’s talk at 2p -- From opportunistic to distributionally-informed sampling of infants’ everyday lives

We’ve got over 500 STEM professionals registered already! 🤩🥳 That’s over 100 registered every hour since we launched 2022-23 #STEMpenpal registration! Let’s keep it going 💪 Join us this school year: prescientist.org/register/

Call for Editorial Fellows at Developmental Psychology. As part of this new program, Early Career Researchers (w/i 10yrs PhD) from historically excluded groups will serve a one-year term as a Fellow--with a stipend of $1,000 USD . APA Journals APA Science American Psychological Association Please RT! 1/3

if you were at #ICIS2022 and missed our talk (w/ UOLearningLab) on infants' everyday body position and manual behavior, i shared a summary and the slides padlab.ucr.edu/posts/2022-07-…. stay tuned for more EMA results!

thankful for these resources (see thread+letter at end). we'll be digging in. docs.google.com/document/d/1cA…

Excited about the #SMPC2022 panel: "How can #musicscience be more socially just?" Fri Aug 5, 11-12pm PST Queen Marie Blrm. Featuring OME, Jennifer Mendoza, and Juan Eduardo Wolf (moderator @DV_PhD). Thanks to our Anti-Racism and Equity committee for organizing!!

so excited to be pursuing discoveries about the pitch & tempo patterns that infants encounter across repeated tunes in their everyday lives (Mendoza Music corpus!), in collab led by Haley Kragness Laura Cirelli

now online! episode-to-episode dynamics in infants' everyday music. #MendozaMusicCorpus onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co…

Are you teaching a course in phonetics or phonology this semester/quarter? Would you like your students to get some hands-on experience with linguistic research? Help us annotate [thousands of!] vocalizations from babies all over the world! zooniverse.org/projects/laacz…

UO Psychology is hiring 2 tenure-track positions in our clinical area! One assistant and one open rank. Review of applications starts October 10. Apply here: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/22301

important: “...pitting the effects of massed learning opportunities vs spaced learning opportunities, as is common in experimental studies, may not align well w/ real world experiences as children’s language learning environments contain a combination of BOTH types of timing...”

get yourself a lab team who print Data on a Mug. days-in-the-life of infants’ at-home audio, musical seconds in purple. cheers!

Come check out work from the PADLAB at #WPA2023! You can preview the posters here to see what we're up to: padlab.ucr.edu/posts/2023-03-…

Excited to share our new preprint with Xiaoqian Yan, Sarah Tung, Bella Fascendini, Anthony M. Norcia - We discovered a staggered development of visual category representations in infants during the first year of life. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are hiring for an Associate/Full Professor in Diversity Science! The area is open, and we are looking to help further build our representation in this area. I am on the search committee so feel free to reach out with questions!

really excited to share this paper from my lab—we demonstrated that infants' body position can be classified with high accuracy in real, at-home behavior (to appear in Behavior Research Methods): padlab.ucr.edu/posts/2023-imu…

👍"Future research could test these predictions by performing longitudinal measurements of children’s visual diet (eg, w/ a head-mounted camera) & cortical representations (eg, w/ fMRI) to directly evaluate the relationship between neural changes and the visual environment"

excited to share that our (UOLearningLab and Kellan Kadooka) paper on 10-13 month olds' everyday body position, restraint, and object holding (measured via EMA) was accepted in developmental psych. padlab.ucr.edu/posts/2023-10-…

Linda Smith, one of the scientists I most admire, writes in Nature "News and Views" about Wai Keen Vong 's work. Linda's conjecture: "problems of data-greedy AI could be mitigated by determining and then exploiting the natural statistics of infant experience" nature.com/articles/d4158…
