📝 New blog post!

Evija is one of our students working on the TEDDY project, and she just got back from presenting some of our results at a large conference in Panama!

If you and your little one has ever taken part in one of our studies, like TEDDY, moments like this are the “why” behind it: Evija and the rest of our team being out there sharing what your family helped us learn with other researchers, so the research can go further than just us and have real impact.

Curious what Evija found or what the day was like? She wrote all about it in a new blog post on our website. Link in our bio 📎

Last week Abby, Shannon and Tobi, our PhD candidates from the UCD Babylab, visited the Cognitive Development Society Conference in Montreal 🇨🇦 to share some findings from our ongoing projects, , TEDDY, and STAMP 📊

The Cognitive Development Society Conference is a huge event, bringing together researchers in the field of development and cognitive psychology from across the globe 🌎 It was a great opportunity for us to connect with other researchers and to get inspiration for our own research here at UCD.

Calling parents of infants! In our new study, the GLOVE project, we are exploring the role of motor skills in children’s early social development 🧠

Babies are growing and learning new skills each day, such as crawling, grasping, and playing with objects. They learn by performing actions themselves, but also by watching others! 📈✨ therefore, social and motor development are closely linked - something we want to explore further.

If you’re interested in participating in our GLOVE (Grasping, Learning and Observing) project, find the link to sign-up in our bio or reach out to us🤗
