Our lab members will be presenting their talks and posters at #cds2026 (Cognitive Development Society) in Montreal this week! Come check out their amazing work!

Moral Minds Lab is at #CDS2026! Can't wait to see you all @cogdevsoc.bsky.social! 🍁

Come check out our symposium on Saturday at #CDS2026! I'm biased but I think we have a really cool set of talks thinking about power as something that is negotiated dynamically and bidirectionally, and I'll be presenting new work done with @samuelronfard.bsky.social 🙌

Can't wait for #CDS2026! My lab is excited to share some of our ongoing work featuring collaborations with Madison Pesowski's KIDS Lab at UFV! I hope you'll stop by and chat :)

Looking forward to #CDS2026! Come learn about the work that my students and I are doing @emmayu23.bsky.social @cogdevsoc.bsky.social

Out in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social with @jaeminhwang.bsky.social, David Sobel (@candmlab.bsky.social), and @jessicas.bsky.social! Most studies of infants’ fairness expectations focus on resource distribution, but in everyday life, we engage in many different kinds of resource exchanges.

New paper announcement! journals.lww.com/greenjournal... The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology is an unusual place for me to publish… Let me tell you the story of this paper.

New open access paper with @drmack.bsky.social! 🎉 The menstrual cycle has non-linear effects on pattern separation as measured by the mnemonic similarity task (MST). Perceived stress facilitates pattern separation performance independent of the menstrual cycle. t.ly/k6Pul

Apparently the scheduler has been tricky for people to work with. We had a date wrong below and now just got access to rooms. Please see updated schedule of CoCoDev presentations from/with our lab here!

If you're at SRCD please consider checking out these talks and posters featuring members of the CoCoDev lab and our awesome collaborators. #SRCD2025

#SRCD2025 come check out the Toronto Early Cognition Lab (@jessicas.bsky.social)! @elainewang.bsky.social will also be presenting work with @julia-a-leonard.bsky.social that we got to collaborate on :)

Come check out the EAST & DoT Labs at #SRCD. 🤩 I'm excited to share our work on children's causal reasoning about historical structural barriers, as well as their pragmatic inferences from what others seek--and do not seek--to explain!

Come to our symposium w/ @jamieamemiya.bsky.social, Kiana Gee, & Cameron Hall at #SRCD2025. We'll talk about how children may acquire, internalize, and perpetuate gender stereotypes. I'm really excited for this one, I think the talks build on each other well to unravel different mechanisms!

The Early Child Cognition Research Group at ASU (PIs: Kelsey Lucca and Viridiana Benitez) will be presenting our work at #SRCD2025! Hope to see you there!

I’m not saying AI is evil — god forbid I be that moralistic and clear — I’m saying it is worse than that. It’s MID. Too mid to do much more than externalize some risk, produce some mid documents, and accelerate climate risk as a cute little benefit.

Research led by Psychology PhD candidate @radovanovic.bsky.social & Prof. @jessicas.bsky.social is investigating how people-pleasing socialization influences how children solve problems. 💡 www.psych.utoronto.ca/news/people-...

People-pleasing linked to gender differences in problem-solving: Study

A new study found that, on average, girls excel at replicating the teacher’s instructions in the classroom — even when those instructions are wrong.

New paper! Children’s sharing is influenced by factors like others' need and reputation, but research has typically examined these factors in isolation. This study explores how different combinations of need and reputation affect costly sharing decisions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

For decades, developmental psychologists have noticed that optimism declines with age. Why does this presumably good thing decrease across development? In this Nature Reviews Psych article, @jessicas.bsky.social and I draw from prior hypotheses to offer an integrated account.

New paper with the BRILLIANT and always amazing @julia-a-leonard.bsky.social! Developmental declines in optimism and their potential causes:

Toddlers’ Helping Behavior Is Affected by the Effortful Costs Associated With Helping Others

Although the presence of early helping behavior has been firmly established, it is unclear to what extent children are willing to adopt costs to help others, as well as how this willingness changes a...
