✈️ I'm still recovering from jetlag but had a great time at #SRCD2025!

Thrilled about our symposium on cognitive control and statistical learning. @nemeth.bsky.social and Rachel Foster gave fantastic talks—Rachel did amazingly well for her 1st conference and will soon be on the job market!

Poster at 1640 today showcasing a study where we looked at whether increasing cognitive load in a sorting task impacted children and adults' ability to learn statistical regularities.

If for nothing else come see my improving photoshopping skills on display...
