Want to know how corrective feedback functions in early childhood to support learning? Check out our new review in Educational Psychologist. @MeganMerrick6

I am part of the Graduate Student Council for IU's Brain and Psychological Sciences Department. We are trying to get a grasp on the field level norms and expectations for qualifying exams in order to better advocate for students. Please comment on your quals experience! Thanks!
It's a strange experience when the last week of summer is loaded with the same degree of anxiety as a typical finals week. Almost done with qualifying exams!!
Looking forward to giving my first official conference talk at #CogSci2022 on Friday morning! Come check out what is bound to be an amazing oral talk session on education!

Qualifying exams is quite the process... almost done with paper 1 and my brain hurts!! Can't wait to do it all over again for paper 2, starting after the holiday weekend 🙃
Reviving academic twitter for #CDS2022! Stop by my poster on Friday (tomorrow) evening! “The effects of person vs. computer feedback of children’s motivation in mathematics” - poster number 2-H-36 during poster session #2 from 5:45-7:00pm. See you there!

Best practices in online testing of children: make sure that the child is not holding a chicken! (Mark Sheskin at #CDS2022)

Out in Child Dev! What counts as information in early learning? We show that children jointly consider others’ emotional expressions and prior knowledge when exploring a novel causal toy, providing further evidence for “emotion as information.” w/@hyogweon tinyurl.com/yunk399u

Researchers use a computer model to explain how #children integrate different types of information during word learning. New study in @NatureHumBehav by @elManuBohn (@MPI_EVA_Leipzig), @mhtessler, @MeganMerrick6 & @mcxfrank. See: bit.ly/3wVfRUJ & nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

My advisor @FyfeEmily does such cool, exciting, and important work! ManyClasses is one of her many innovative projects.
The first ManyClasses study is released! Final registered report now in press at AMPPS and preprint posted at psyarxiv.com/4mvyh/
What's it all about? Hey, we're glad you asked… 1/19
Very informative and helpful Bayesian workshop this afternoon! You all are amazing instructors - I learned a lot! #SRCD2021
If you are joining us for our Bayesian workshop today at 10:10am (PST) (i.e., 1:10pm EST), here are some quick tips for going to our workshop #SRCD2021 #SRCD

Some people say grad school is a marathon, not a sprint. It's neither. It's not a race at all. It's about becoming part of - and contributing to - an intellectual and professional community.
In honor of normalizing failure I would like to announce that I did not receive the #NSFGRFP! Receiving overwhelming positive reviews has only encouraged me to continue on with my research program focused on how differing sources of feedback affect STEM learning in children.
Thank you to my advisor @FyfeEmily for taking so much time and care to guide me through my first grant attempt. I’m looking forward to applying for many more!
Looking forward to attending my first day of #SPSP2021 with what is bound to be a fascinating preconference!
Fortunate to be part of such an amazing research team during the start of the pandemic. They all helped me gain the skills and confidence to continue developmental research under any circumstances. Excited to let(zoom based) data collection for my first year project at IU begin!
Our lab was featured in @Stanford News for our research continuity efforts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic! news.stanford.edu/?p=37866
It provides a fascinating glimpse into how the pandemic impacted different fields (biology, geology, physics, and psychology).

Your family is quickly approaching the year 2021! Also, SCIENCE is quickly approaching 2021! At Children Helping Science, you can find hundreds of online activities to help university researchers learn about how children think and learn. Find the perfect activity for your family!
Excited to have officially completed my first semester of grad school! Thanks especially to my primary advisor @FyfeEmily for all your support and guidance during this particularly challenging transition. Looking forward to next semester already!
