we had an idea about how infants attribute goals to agents in ambiguous joint actions - in the end we didn't quite find what we expected, but had some great discussions along the way & i'm glad this got published!

I invite applications for a 3-year postdoctoral position, on a project titled “The role of infants’ emerging self-perspective in memory development”, at Centre for Early Childhood Cognition🦉 @CopenhagenPsych Job ad: jobportal.ku.dk/videnskabelige… for more info, get in touch with me :) spread the word!

see another paper related to my PhD studies, in which we consider with Ildikó Király how pretending may figure into children's developing abilities to both create and join social contexts with others direct.mit.edu/opmi/article/d…

new pre-print entitled "14-month-old infants detect a semantic mismatch when occluded objects are mislabeled" with Eugenio Parise @SketchySk and Victoria Southgate at Centre for Early Childhood Cognition🦉 pre-print: psyarxiv.com/ytc5v/

Excited to share a new project from the SoCal Lab! We’re calling it our Open File Drawer: socallab.ucsd.edu/papers/open-fi… Tl;dr: We’re posting short reports, w/ open materials & data, about the finished projects we don’t intend to publish. Read on for an explanation and a question. 1/n

we are doing allll the zoom studies! very fun to be sitting on the other side :)

🚨 In this preprint from my PhD thesis I argue that the phylo- & ontogenetic emergence of communication does necessitate metarepresentations, but not of mental states as Griceans suggest, rather of external representations. 🧵 psyarxiv.com/rqtkg/

We are pleased to announce the 15th Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science, devoted to the topic of 'Memory, space, and language', taking place between 23 and 26 May 2024, in Dubrovnik, Croatia. (ducog.cecog.eu)

My paper, "Metarepresenting in communication", is published in Synthese. From the abstract: ...current evidence for the developmental trajectory of communication and mental state attribution does not support the emergence of the former from the latter./ link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Our paper on infants' representation of third-party helping interactions is now published (OA) at Annual Reviews of Developmental Psychology! annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.11…

ONE DAY LEFT to SUBMIT to our fantastic Spring conference with a thrilling lineup of invited speakers exploring the fascinating connections between memory, space, and language. Submit now!

Some news: I recently defended my dissertation (accessible at tinyurl.com/y76muv6m) and joined Azzurra Ruggeri's group in Munich as a postdoc! Looking forward to new adventures ahead :)
