Submission for this special issue on Creativity and Innovation due on 15th June! :)

Super stoked to have worked on this collab with @juliamarshall.bsky.social @mattiwilks.bsky.social and Lucius Caviola. We propose that the latest developmental research suggests children begin with broader circles of concern and these restrict with age. Check it out at @nathumbehav.nature.com

Why do some obscure animals, like sloths 🦥 and axolotls, become popular with kids at certain times, while others are steadfast favourites with every generation? 🦕🐕 I gave my two cents as a developmental psychology researcher in this Washington article post: www.washingtonpost.com/parenting/20...

Elder Aunty Lyn, Shandell Cummings and Jess are Merningar yorgas and share their knowledge about the significance of the seasonally-flowering Mungee/Moodjar WA Christmas tree. I feel so lucky to have spent some time out on Merningar country with these incredible knowledge holders and custodians.

Gökhan gonul, @brucerawlings.bsky.social and I are guest-editing a special issue at Acta Psychologica on the development and evolution of innovation and creativity in humans! Article submissions due 15 June 25. www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...
