Excited to share our lab's work at CogSci 2021! #CogSci2021

This Thursday at the meeting of the International Society for the Learning Sciences! #ISLS2021

Check out our new paper on death in animated films! Check out Enrica Bridgewater thread below. It amazing it was the get to work with her! She combined her interest in media with our work on children's understanding of death, and designed some cool studies. All as an undergrad!

Check out our #SRCD 21 poster about how children's early fractions knowledge lays the foundation for their later math achievement! With Yunji Park Edward Hubbard & Percival Matthews.

I'll be on chat and Zoom today at 3:15pm ET! #SRCD 2021 #SRCD

Up next we have a poster about students' conceptual explanations of worked examples of linear equations! #SRCD21 Come check it out at 2:15 pm CT to hear about our findings. Martha W. Alibali @silla_elena Anna Bartel Tomo Nagashima 🔢

Excellent dissertation defense talk by Yunji Park this morning! Congratulations, YP :)

We're recruiting our final participants for the BioViz study and are hoping to finish this semester. We are specifically looking for children in grades 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7! Evening and weekend appointments are available. If eligible, please email us at [email protected]!

Our lab has a new online study for children in Grades 1-7! Students will work with an experimenter to answer questions about genetic inheritance. Interested? Email us at [email protected] today!

Many families outside of university communities are curious about what child development research is. So, we developed this video to explain the process. Check it out and share with your friends and families! More info on studies in our lab coming soon!

Myself and several other awesome researchers have designed this study in an effort to better understand how kids learn algebra! If you know any 6th-8th graders in the US who are interested in participating (virtual study!) feel free to send this gorgeous infographic their way ☺️

I have a new pre-print with Karl Rosengren and his awesome lab at University of Rochester Back in April we asked parents to tell us about the conversations they have with their children about the COVID-19 pandemic. We were interested in their child's questions and how parents responded 1/x

It’s out! Want to know more about how simple and ratio magnitude perception develop from pre-K to adults? Or how two perceptions are related? Check out our recent work!! With Alexandria Viegut, PhD and Percival Matthews! #devsci onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Check out some research from our lab, headed by David Menendez

Some good news to end the first week of the semester! Our paper on Life Sciences Education special issue is now available. In this paper, we examine the visualizations in biology books. Best part: It is open access! Here is the link: lifescied.org/doi/full/10.11…

Check out some of our lab's work presented at #cogsci2020 and funded by U.S. National Science Foundation. More work on how diagrams (and other conceptual interventions) may influence math learning coming soon!

Any #cogsci2020 attendees want to talk about tape diagrams and algebra? Stop by our poster P-1-153 in poster session #1 at 11:20EDT. Will tweet poster later! Abstract here: cognitivesciencesociety.org/cogsci20/paper… thanks to my co-authors! @silla_elena Nicholas A. Vest Tomo Nagashima Martha W. Alibali

One of our graduate students Anna Bartel has a new paper looking the influence of text cohesion and picture details on science learning …ry.wiley.com.ezproxy.library.wisc.edu/doi/10.1111/bj…

We have a new paper out w/ Jenny Cooper & Pooja Sidney! on trigonometry problem solving. Diagrams were beneficial across the board, but size of benefit depended on attitudes. x.com/cogscilearning…
