Statistical learning in childhood: Dimensions, developmental trajectory, and relation with cognitive control
Abstract. Compared to other developmental processes, such as cognitive control, there is relatively little consensus on the developmental trajectory of sta

Looking forward to presenting our research tomorrow at this family-friendly event - a great opportunity to learn about cognitive research at the #WeeScience lab. 📅 Tomorrow 10AM - 3PM (drop in) 📍 Bayes Centre ✅ Free & open to all Don't miss this day of discovery! Register: tinyurl.com/CogSciDay
Very belated post...Had an amazing time presenting Carnegie Trust work w @kwolfe.bsky.social at #EUCAS2025 conference at Università di Pavia. Beautiful venue plus we were greeted with amazing risotto 🍽️ Learned alot about ageing research and made great connections, including folks from #SCAN!
✈️ I'm still recovering from jetlag but had a great time at #SRCD2025! Thrilled about our symposium on cognitive control and statistical learning. @nemeth.bsky.social and Rachel Foster gave fantastic talks—Rachel did amazingly well for her 1st conference and will soon be on the job market!
Poster at 1640 today showcasing a study where we looked at whether increasing cognitive load in a sorting task impacted children and adults' ability to learn statistical regularities. If for nothing else come see my improving photoshopping skills on display... Exhibit hall B, Poster #5 #SRCD2025
Excited to be opening for this symposium on developmental dynamics between cognitive control and statistical learning today! @nemeth.bsky.social, Rachel Foster, and Qianqian Wang. Time: 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM 203AB | Minneapolis Convention Center, Level Two #SRCD2025 #statisticallearning #ef
Excited to be opening for this symposium today with @nemeth.bsky.social, Rachel Foster, and Qianqian Wang. Join us today at 10:00AM in Room 203AB #SRCD #statisticallearning #cognitivecontrol
Excited to present at SRCD in Minneapolis! I'll be speaking in the 'Developmental Dynamics Between Higher-Order Cognitive Control and Bottom-Up Statistical Learning' symposium. I'm going speak about our new longitudinal study. Join me Thursday at 10:00 AM in Room 203AB! #SRCD2025
