Proud to share that I am officially an NIH-funded PI! My F31 predoctoral application has been funded by NICHD. My dissertation will examine the associations b/w maternal stress, epigenetics, and development over the first few years of life.
Little is known, although much is theorized, about the long-run benefits of boosting children's social-emotional skills. Across 450 post-test & follow-up impacts from 86 RCTs, we found similar fadeout rates for intervention impacts on social-emotional & cognitive skills. 1/11
I am excited to share our new paper on the effects of Baby’s First Years unconditional cash transfers on maternal reports of child language & socioemotional development across the first three years of life! Check it out in Developmental Psychology: doi.org/10.1037/dev000…
Check out our work on the Marshmallow Test, recently featured in this article!
A new study revisits the famed Marshmallow Test, raising questions about its long-held reputation as a predictor of future success. Could this iconic experiment be less reliable than we've believed? dlvr.it/TBznxm
Important insight in @Nature on how helpful mothers from low-income households find various individual and structural parenting interventions to be. Their perspectives are nuanced, vast, and belong at the center of early childhood research. nature.com/articles/s4159…
Would Dev Psych be better off focusing on interventions that target structures & resources instead of parents? We asked 281 moms with low incomes. The answer: Moms saw both types of interventions as potentially very helpful for supporting early child dev. nature.com/articles/s4159…
Does a monthly, unconditional cash transfer given to mothers residing in poverty for 1 year have a causal impact on child-directed speech? The first paper from my postdoctoral work with @Gen_Pov asks this question, out now in Child Development! srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cd…
The infamous Marshmallow Test study continues to be debunked. Marshmallow-indicated delay of gratification at age 4.5 was NOT associated with most age 26 adulthood outcomes, like debt, depression, & impulsive behavior doi.org/10.1111/cdev.1… @SRCDtweets
#NICHD supported #research: “Fostering inclusion in EEG measures of pediatric brain activity” explores cultural aspects of hair that unintentionally exclude children of color from brain research & how to address them. @STRscience @TeachersCollege go.nih.gov/S4QHc6o
Thrilled to share my *first* senior-authored manuscript, expertly led by Eryn Adams and w/Chanel, Melina, @mscott6399, @KimberlyGNoble, and @ProfRowley We aim to foster inclusivity in pediatric EEG (1/2). nature.com/articles/s4153…
Have you read this from 2023? Cautious optimism for pandemic babies: @Jess_Sperber & @KimberlyGNoble found amt of time an infant spent during pandemic in 1st year of life was unrelated to language or socioemotional outcomes at 12 or 24 mos #infancypapers doi.org/10.1111/infa.1…
