New paper alert! (and the first from my PhD 🥳) With @glmalcolm.bsky.social and Louise Ewing When children get the gist: The development of rapid scene categorisation is now available in Vision Research www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Forget just birth order for early language! (it's kinda U-shaped anyway...) We introduce a *better* measure (capturing more variance): a household "child-to-caregiver" ratio, where old-enough siblings are considered caregivers, rather than being another child competing for parental resources. 1/

Do older siblings help or hinder language development? And does it matter if they’re sisters or brothers? In our new paper we revisit the "birth order effect"... and took it a step further! w/ @julienmayor.bsky.social, Nora Serres and Natalia Kartushina 🙌 🧵 1/ #DevSci #langsky #devpsy
