One of the only reason to hop back on X for a sec: promoting trainee work:)! Nice paper from @Fede_Bulgarelli taking a step towards mechanisms of early world learning!

New paper out in Developmental Science with @bergelsonlab! We asked whether the acoustic properties of language input for individual words also predict age of production. TLDR: Yes – variability in how words sound predicts when kids first say them. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… (1/n)

If you like my work and think we could learn from each other and have fun doing research together, Marie Curie postdoctoral applications will soon open and my university has wonderful support for writing one. Write me a mail explaining your idea and why we'd match! 1/

“One really important shift in the field recently has been a much more serious reckoning with the fact that we tend to study white, middle-class Americans.” Important new insights into early childhood language learning, thanks to @bergelsonlab neurosciencenews.com/languag…

New Insights Into Early Childhood Language Learning - Neuroscience News

Findings reveal early comprehension begins around 6-7 months, and significant improvements in language understanding occur around a child’s first birthday.

nice coverage of our work! fun for me & @CristiaAlex to chat w/ @cathleenogrady &thnx to @oedemir & @mcxfrank for weighing in🤓. Read the whole paper to get our in depth take if u wanna know more: there’s a lot of nuance in these big topics that’s hard to relay in short #scicomm

A new analysis suggests kids speak more when the adults around them are more talkative, which may also give them a larger vocabulary early in life. scim.ag/5gt

Roots! I "entered" social science as an anthropology major 35 years ago with an interest in how meanings were organized across cultures, and finally published a paper that provides new insight led by the amazing @mollyllewis in PNAS. Preprint: osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/f5…

Very excited about this new paper @PNASNews: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23… Key Q: what predicts how much young kids (👶)talk? How much 🗣 kids heard predicted how much 👶talked, but other factors, e.g. mom’s education, didn’t. #PsychSci #DevPsy 🗣💬 INCOMING SUMMARY🧵ALERT 1/14
