Happy New Year!! So thrilled to share this preprint (Kara Weisman, Lucy King, and I worked on this for 8+ yrs): "Beliefs about the development of mental life"
Read to find an interesting story on how people perceive different domains of capacities changing from birth to age 5 yrs.

Does anyone have an assignment they enjoy grading for developmental psych that has students engage with a (or multiple) scientific article(s)? I have tried many iterations of different assignments and want one I look forward to grading. Right now... not enjoying grading AI-written policy letters.

Brilliant scholar, but more importantly one of the nicest humans in academia. I am so grateful to have been his colleague - Clancy was instrumental to my success at NYU. He was genuinely excited to chat about new ideas and never missed an opportunity to provide support. He will be missed greatly
This week the field of developmental psychology lost a giant - Clancy Blair. His work on how families and schools shaped human development will be classic for years to come. He will be sorely missed. Sympathies to his wife Cybele Raver and his extended family.
