Congratulations @abifiske.bsky.social, winner of the 2024 Award for Outstanding Doctoral Research Contributions to Psychology.
Her research followed children from infancy to explore how thinking skills like self-control develop and link to brain function.

But there is much more, which I can't easily summarise in a short post, so take a look at the paper - I hope you enjoy it! :-)

Despite little improvement inhibitory control performance between 10 and 16 months, the improvement between 16 and 42 months was substantial. In terms of neural correlates, we observed right inferior parietal and right inferior frontal activation during response inhibition across early childhood.

NEW PAPER! I am really so excited the share this brand new paper led by @abifiske.bsky.social. Despite pandemic challenges, we assessed inhibitory control and its neural substrate (using fNIRS) from 10 months to 3.5 years in more than 100 children. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

It is more important than ever to promote inclusive & representative science as best scientific practice. In this new paper, we highlight modality-level (MRI, MEG, EEG, fNIRS, ultrasound) obstacles & initiatives for improved inclusivity in FIT neuroimaging. doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.2024.101505
