Analytical Connectionism Workshop
Lab member Hadar Karmazyn-Raz is speaking at the University College London in the UK on September 7th. Her workshop will be about Infant’s natural play: ‘webbing’ knowledge at multiple time-scales. She will talk about the temporal statistics of infant natural play with objects and how it creates knowledge structures that resemble story-telling, with central main theme-objects tethered to multiple comment-objects around them. For more information, check the workshop site!
New Paper Alert!
A new paper by Andres Mendez, Chen Yu, and Linda Smith on sustained visual attention was just published in Developmental Science. They found that 1-year-old infants control sustained attention through head movements that increase the visibility of an object. Read along here!Storytime Saturday at Morgenstern Books!

Have you seen the Cognitive Development Lab around town?
The lab has been busy meeting future scientists at many of our community outreach events. We love meeting new families and sharing our work. We set up a booth at Bloomington's Food Truck Friday event and enjoyed watching children (and furry friends!) of all ages play our word fishing game!
