Excited to share our recent article in Developmental Science! We benchmark 13 face detection algorithms on egocentric developmental datasets and introduce the TinyExplorer Detection App to support accessible and privacy-conscious machine learning workflows in developmental research.

Making Machine Learning Accessible for Developmental Science: The Case of Automated Face Detection

The last decade has seen rapid advancements in machine learning, significantly transforming fields like cybersecurity and healthcare. Developmental science has been slower to adopt these technologies...

Pleased to share a Cardiff University news feature on our work with Hana D’Souza. Using baby-worn headcams and AI face detection, we found non-linear changes with age in face availability from babies’ point of view during everyday play. Thanks to @cardiffbabylab.bsky.social and families involved.

Baby headcams reveal how babies encounter faces during development

Baby-worn headcams and AI shows non-linear changes in how babies see faces as they grow.

Fascinating insights into how we can collect more real-life, naturalistic observations and utilise machine learning for analysis to better inform research to improve the lives of young children with #DownSyndrome from @cardiffbabylab.bsky.social at 2025 Research Forum @dseinternational.bsky.social

Good luck to Hana, Charlotte, Teddy, and Becky for their symposium - "Leveraging machine learning to understand and support the everyday experiences of young children with Down syndrome"! We can't wait to hear you all speak! @dseinternational.bsky.social

I'm giving a talk with Mark Seidenberg at Planet Word Museum on March 1. We haven't done a joint talk in over 30 years! My part aims to bring insights from psycholinguistic research to children's reading instruction. planetwordmuseum.org/events/eyes-...

If you are at #psynom2024 and are interested in the link between eye movements and working memory, come by our poster for a chat! @candicemorey.bsky.social

To remember something (e.g., a list of groceries), you can repeat the items aloud or in your mind, to remind you. What if you are trying to recall locations? Do we analogously use glances toward them to boost memory? I don't think so, and here is some new evidence against this idea. 🧵 #psychscisky
