Ok, development and ethics peeps, I have a testing dilemma for you:

A kid comes to the lab to take part in a neuroimaging study (EEG, MRI, cognition) with their mom. Consent is signed (only 1 legal guardian signature is required by ethics). The parents are divorced, the dad freaks out and

Children working in markets in India could solve complex applied math problems, but they couldn't solve easier problems when presented in an academic style. Kids in school had opposite results: good on abstract problems, but terrible on an applied market (i.e., real life) problem.

When faced with noisy environments, listeners perform auditory scene analysis, which allows them to parse the auditory target from concurrent interferences. Stream segregation involves organizing simi...

Does it make sense to share a pre-print while it gets reviewed in a double-blind way? Or should we just wait?

I know I’m getting older because Notion makes ZERO sense to me, but the kids today are so fluent with it. I’ve sit down a few times with the only goal to « get good at it », but … I guess I’ll stick to post-it everywhere, all the time
