Had a great time at #CogSci2025! Got to catch up with friends, see great research talks, and present some of my grad student work as well as some work from my internship at WestEd. Looking forward to the next one!

Happy to share that the chapter that I co-authored for Advances in Child Development and Behavior is in press today! 🎉
The chapter focuses on children's spatial thinking assessments and contains a lot of the underpinnings of my dissertation work.

Excited to share our latest paper - a review of technological advancements in Block Design Test measurement and analysis. Looking forward to seeing what insights will come from using AI for investigating individual differences!
Looking Ahead: Advancing Measurement and Analysis of the Block Design Test Using Technology and Artificial Intelligence
The block design test (BDT) has been used for over a century in research and clinical contexts as a measure of spatial cognition, both as a singular ability and as part of more comprehensive intellige...

Looking forward to #CDS2024 this week! If you are interested in assessment and measurement research, spatial cognition, or mental rotation, I would love to connect. Also be sure to check out the rest of the Northwestern STAR lab!

Psychology really needs to go back to square 1 on measurement. Even the major replications haven’t taken the lack of valid measures seriously. We are making up questions and questionnaires daily w/o validating constructs or tasks. This means our foundation is seriously shaky @jkflake.bsky.social

Excited to join Bluesky! As an introduction to myself, I am a Ph.D. candidate at Northwestern University. My research focuses on assessing and measuring cognition, specifically spatial cognition. I have interests in psychometrics, learning + development, and cognitive science. Happy to connect! 🧠
