New paper with @yuchen_rachel is now out in JEP:General! @APA_Journals In both the US and China, children younger than age 7 provide leaders with more freedown to deviate, yet older children understand "One who wears the crown, bears the crown." psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-…

We finally finished data collection for one of my favorite grad school projects that was in a purgatorial limbo for 2.5 years due to covid. Words cannot express how thankful i am for the people involved in this project 🥺🥺🥰🥰❤️❤️

So excited to share a new @DeepMind paper (co-first-authored with @yiranmao) where we propose a method of evaluating human and AI moral cognition in a 'like-for-like' manner. Just by observing behavior, can we tell when an agent acts 'for the right reasons'? (1/7)

Do infants expect the world to be populated by objects and agents? @fransiscating argues that the architecture of innate knowledge is more complicated, showing that infants distinguish between agency, animacy, and self-propulsion. #spp2023

If you're at #SRCD23, please come and stop by, TODAY at 11.45!! I'm presenting some new data with @LinBian_ and Renée Baillargeon on how infants attribute inference-based knowledge and beliefs to others.
🥳 Reminder: our SRCD symposium is this Thursday at 11:45am, Floor 1, Grand Ballroom I! Come learn how infants and children infer what others know, and reason about the sources that surround them! With @fransiscating, @RambleCamble, @JennaAlton & @lucaspbutler!
