Save the date for our February Special, Math Cognition in Context. Join us on February 24 at 11am ET / 8am PT / 4pm GMT / 5pm CET for a research article discussion, facilitated by Nicholas Vest.
Flyer for MCLS trainee February Special: Math Cognition in Context. Includes the following information: Join our trainee research chair, Nicholas Vest, for a discussion on math cognition in context. We'll be reading Draper et al. (2022) to explore the publication challenges faced by researchers studying child development in Majority World/Global South/non-WEIRD/low- and middle-income countries. The article examines publication bias, generalizability, contextual relevance (especially in measurement), the impact of the funding cycle, and offers recommendations for more inclusive journals (Draper et al., 2022, Infant and Child Development). This discussion is in collaboration with the Math Cognition Reading Group, and all members are welcome to attend.

Save the date for our October Special: Creating an online experiment using jsPsych. Join us on Monday, October 7 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 4pm GMT for this session led by Vijay Marupudi.
Flyer for MCLS trainee October Special: Creating an online experiment using jsPsych. Includes the following description: For this special, Vijay Marupudi (https://vijaymarupudi.com/) will guide you through designing an online experiment using jsPsych. Specifically, we will make a simple magnitude comparison interface, design an experiment using it, publish the study online, and understand the format of the data collected from the experiment (e.g., RT and accuracy). Some experience defining and using functions in R or Python and will be helpful.

Reminder to join us this Friday for our October Special: a two-hour data processing workshop led by Krzysztof Cipora. Join us Friday, October 27 from 3-5pm BST / 4-6pm CET / 10am-12pm ET.
Flyer for MCLS trainee October Special: Data Processing Workshop on October 27. Includes the following Workshop Description: Before we even start data analysis, we need to spend quite a lot of time to make our dataset suitable for statistical analysis. Material we receive (e.g., log files from reaction time measuring software, outputs from online surveys) are far from ideal and need to be prepared. In this workshop, using some examples from numerical cognition we will see how we can use R to create a reproducible data pre-processing routine for both reaction time tasks and questionnaires. Making your data preprocessing reproducible (i.e., you can re-run the analysis at anytime) makes the process way more transparent, you can also trace back potential errors and correct them easily. You can also re-use bits and pieces of the code for different datasets. Link to materials: osf.io/ncv5a
