Just a reminder about this session tomorrow. Hope to see you there!
We're also excited about the mechanistic explanation this work starts to provide for why early caregiver predictability is linked to long-term cognitive outcomes in children!
Most exciting to me, in each dyad, infants look most at their caregiver when she is being moderately predictable relative to herself. This shows an infant's own, unique experience with the statistics of their environment shapes the development of early attention and learning processes.
We measured caregiver unpredictability (entropy) by hand-annotating hundreds of videos of caregivers interacting naturally with their babies, and then found that the predictable structure of caregiver's behavior shapes infants moment-to-moment attention during dyadic interaction.
Happy to share "The Dynamics of Caregiver Unpredictability Shape Moment-to-Moment Infant Looking During Dyadic Interaction," out now in Child Development thanks to a large team of people I worked on this with! srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirec...
I'm recruiting a lab manager for my soon-to-be-launched lab at Ohio State! If you know of any recent grads who may be interested both in helping to build the lab and in developing skills in the cognitive neuroscience of memory, please share!
