List of KID lab presentations at the upcoming CDS conference

Come join the University of Louisville KID lab members for science and socializing at the Cognitive Development Society meeting in Montreal this week!

Another fantastic paper by my stellar former grad student @laurengh.bsky.social in which we show that one of the reasons kids as young as age 4 trust Google is because it is familiar to them.

“I’ve seen Google before!”: Young children's intuitions about Google's capabilities Abstract. Google Search is a popular tool for acquiring information online, but little is known about children's trust in search engines. Across two studie

🚨 Out now in Child Development!

We asked 4- to 8-year-old children about getting answers from Google and a teacher. By age 6, children endorsed Google’s ability to answer correctly more often and believed that Google would also be better at answering questions about the world around them.

I'm so sorry to see this news. Although Judy and I only interacted directly a few times over the years, I always enjoyed doing so and learned a great deal from her. (I still follow many of the practices she modeled in a talk she gave about teaching child development.)

Question: The journal is not blinded. Should I send the authors my long list of comments and suggestions? I don't know what the final editorial decision was either. (4/4)

Needless to say, I will never agree to review for this journal again. This kind of irresponsible behavior damages our field and makes my job recruiting reviewers as an associate editor harder. (3/4)

When I went to submit it, I discovered that the journal had terminated my invitation due to “receiving the required number of reviews” without letting me know. (My review was 9 days late but I received no reminders.) (2/4)

Short rant with question at end: I agreed to write a review for a journal I had never reviewed for before and was given only 2 weeks to do it. The manuscript was directly based on several of my papers and I spent hours working on a detailed review. (1/4)

I've already got @profsimons.bsky.social excellent writing guide on my list!

I'm excited to be teaching a grad writing course this fall based on Barbara Sarnecka's The Writing Workshop book. Would anyone out there who has done this be willing to share their syllabus? I'm looking for ideas on how to plan a 14 week session, and other good writing resources for my students.
