Now out in an issue! Children find it easier to represent uncertainty about *what* an object is than *where* an object is, with interesting implications for both early possibility reasoning and object representations ~~ Check it out 👉 direct.mit.edu/opmi/article...

Children’s Representations of Possibility: Uncertainty About “What” Is Easier Than Uncertainty About “Where”

Abstract. Young children struggle in situations involving mere possibility, such as when a target object could be in one of two possible locations. This difficulty is often interpreted as a general li...

New paper in Open Mind! 2-to-4-year-olds find it easier to reason about an object's possible identity than its possible location, and we argue this asymmetry traces back to the architecture of early object representations. 🧵

Paper w/ Gergely Csibra now out in Psych Review! Work in CogDev often assumes that infant object representations are perceptual/spatial in origin. There is a ton of beautiful work showing that this is not always the case — e.g. they represent objects that they are only told about (1/4) (links below)

You might think that having just one word for "yesterday" and "tomorrow" would make learning harder, but we find the opposite - that children learning the Hindi word "kal" understand its use to refer to past & future events earlier than English-speaking kids understand "yesterday" and "tomorrow".

Urvi Maheshwari ツ@urvi.bsky.social · 2y ago

Out now! @drbarner.bsky.social & I find that Hindi kids learn yesterday & tomorrow earlier than English kids, despite having only word 'kal' to reference both the past and future. We argue that kids rely on tense info (over associations w/ events) to learn. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Do infants represent collision events that violate Newtonian constraints on elastic collisions as causal? I tested this in my new paper with Susan Carey, "Infants' representation of Michottean triggering events", out today. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #CogSciSky #PsychSciSky #CogSci

Infants' representations of michottean triggering events

The classic Michottean ‘launching’ event is consistent with a real-world Newtonian elastic collision. Previous research has shown that adult humans di…

Please come see @esranur.bsky.social 's poster at CDS! She is presenting on some very cool work examining children's understanding of others' actions on multiple possibilities. [Very annoyed that her name got left off of the program!]

Excited to share that I'm presenting at #CDS2024! 🌟 Though there's been an oversight with my name in the program, my enthusiasm is undiminished. Eager to share our work with @levelsof.bsky.social titled “Young children’s understanding of others’ actions on mutually exclusive possibilities.”
