researchers have been observing parents reading with their young kids for decades, and we know all the extra talk, side convos and ?s are important for learning

in a new review from my lab, we've organized the many ways to categorize & measured this ETT:

A database of heterogeneous faces for studying naturalistic expressions - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - A database of heterogeneous faces for studying naturalistic expressions

Can't believe it's been 6 months since my 1st, shared-first author paper was published in Nature Scientific Reports 😄 'A database of heterogeneous faces for studying naturalistic expressions' with Jessica Taubert, Shruti Japee, Chris I Baker & Houqiu Long #PsychSciSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

You can also find our studies about adults’ perception of sick faces in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity: doi.org/10.1016/j.bb...

Great question! We (@soccoglab.bsky.social) are interested in how humans respond to faces of people who are feeling sick with a contagious disease. Over several studies, we've discovered that children and adults recognize and avoid people who are sick just by looking at pictures of "sick faces."

Thanks, Willow! My work focuses on faces of people with acute contagious diseases (e.g., COVID-19). We’re always looking for more #SelfiesForScience if you or anyone you know is every feeling sick! umiami.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

#HiSciSky and #PsychSciSky 👋 I’m a 4th year doctoral student studying the development of social cognition from infancy to childhood. I’m interested in people’s perceptions of sick faces 🤒

Can children recognize sick faces?

Can children recognize sick faces? 🤒 A new study serves as a first step in teaching children how to use faces to determine whether it is safe to interact with others. news.miami.edu/as/stories/2023/08/can-c...
