Dear editors, I'm a postdoc researching math cognition, early home learning environment, and parent-child interactions, with publications in DP, JECP, ECRQ, etc. If you need a quick and responsive reviewer in these areas, I'd love to help! šŸ“© linxilu@uchicago.edu

Excited to share our new paper! šŸŽ‰ We explore how SES shapes early math engagement, finding: 1.SES-related variability in parents’ spontaneous focus on numeracy (SFON). 2.SES moderates the link between SFON and parental math talk during play. Check it out!

Just realized #SRCD2025 only accepts paper symposium submissions, not individual papers. Hoping to find a home for our two interesting papers! If you're looking for additional papers for your symposium or want to collaborate on a new one, please let me know!

Paper #2 looks into how different materials (math focused digital app vs. analog materials) impact the dynamic of parent-child interactions.

Paper#1 reveals that while parents increase math talk when informed about importance of early math, this often comes at the cost of reduced autonomy support and lower child engagement.

🌟IT’S OUT🌟 Our meta-analysis of parent math talk and child math skills finds a small sig assoc (b=.10) across 280 effect sizes from 22 studies Link: doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2024.… Such a wonderful collab with @DAlvarezVargas @drewhalbailey

Can’t believe that I received the 2024 outstanding dissertation award from #AERADivisionE! Grateful for all the support along this journey! A great motivation to keep pursuing the research in SES disparities in home learning environment. @Eric_Dearing @Sclammie @bclynchschool

Thrilled to share I’ll join @UChicago @HarrisPolicy as a postdoc scholar, working with @ariel_kalil. I’ll keep working on understanding factors that might impact home learning environments and ways to promote early cognitive development.

Successfully defended my dissertation on SES disparities in the home math environment and early math development. Having three empirical studies was bittersweet but I’m finally Dr. Lu!!! Many thanks to Drs. Marina Vasilyeva, Elida Laski, @Eric_Dearing @Sclammie @bclynchschool
