The findings suggest that the brain's ability to prioritize and streamline learned objects develops with experience during the first year of life and that competitive neural interactions support early attention, perception, and learning.

We showed that competitive neural interactions increased with age. While 6-month-old infants showed no competition, by 9 and 12 months, visuocortical responses favored the trained objects at the expense of untrained objects. And the type of label in the storybook didn’t seem to matter.

Paid parental leave would be great too :) journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Yup

I don’t even know what an ai wrapper is 😬

That’s what I’m going to try to do in a grant writing class. Give them time in class to work and provided guided direction: e.g., this is how to write an abstract now write the first part and post in your google doc. Also partner work decreases AI use I think???

I guess we need to find ways to encourage active learning. Maybe more frequent testing or in class reading workshops- where students read/work in class without AI. Or tasks that involve AI but encourage active learning. At this point I think it all needs to change.

Yes, maybe. But try putting a pdf of a paper in and hit the create video button. I’ve found the videos do a better job of explaining complex papers than I can. I’ve used it to explain things to me I don’t understand.

Learning about notebooklm this past week was a defining moment/realization for me. Students don’t need me to lecture. The classroom is for human connection.
