So proud of LENDlab member Maria Maldonado for her incredible thesis defense examining what caregivers really care about when it comes to child development! If you’re going to Cog Dev Society in March, she will be there presenting this valuable work!!!

So proud of LENDlab founding member Will Decker on all his accomplishments!! Georgia Tech is so lucky to have him and what an honor it has been to mentor him all these years 🎉

An early career talk & 5 posters later we have another Cog Dev Society conference in the books! Shoutout to the LENDlab for their awesome work!

Does statistical learning actually engage language-specific brain regions? Not so much... In my latest paper in Cerebral Cortex with Zhenghan Qi we find SL and language processing jointly engage the Left Posterior Temporal Gyrus, but no other regions: academic.oup.com/cercor/article…

New review out with Dr Mandy J Maguire & Mohammad Behboudi on the utility of rsEEG when studying SES and brain development + a discussion on ways we can be more culturally responsive as a field moving forward! Brain Sciences MDPI mdpi.com/2076-3425/14/4…

My fabulous mentee Will Decker was recognized for his incredible research efforts by LSU Psychology Department as the Paul C. Young awardee. Congratulations Will!!

Yesterday was my last day of teaching LSU . Tomorrow I head to California to work UCLA with the UC|CSU Collaborative for Neuroscience, Diversity & Learning! I am forever indebted to everyone at LSU for their support these past 4 years ❤️ looking forward to this new adventure!

Did you attend the 2024 Cog Dev Society conference? Catch my talk? The work I presented is now available as a preprint: osf.io/e7zx2 In this paper we present Culturally and Linguistically Diverse caregivers' beliefs and practices when it comes to their child's development!

Digital media & TV viewing isn't going away, but increasing social interactions can help offset the "cost" digital media has on vocabulary development. Check out my latest paper in Frontiers - Psychology with Sarah Kucker, Ph.D. to learn more! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Wrote a little synthesis of my research over the past few years about how individual differences contribute to variability in the engagement of neural oscillations during sentence processing: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The value of ‘wasting time’ on deep thinking is often overlooked in a scientific ecosystem increasingly tainted by Wall Street’s productivity mindset. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Why is it that in academia we have decided to only pick on the “weaknesses” of a paper, but very rarely praise its’ strengths? I know that peer review is meant to improve manuscripts but let’s all remember there is a person, and likely trainee, at the other end of that review

Loved reading this piece in the The New York Times about the normalcy and beauty of code-switching! nytimes.com/2024/08/15/opi…
