Es hat riesigen Spaß gemacht jeden der Bände zu begleiten und die fertigen Bücher zu lesen 📖 Jeder einzelne Band hat mich begeistert und ist sehr empfehlenswert auch für die Lehre. Stay tuned… es kommt noch mehr ☺️ 👶🧒👩👵
Auch „Enge Beziehungen über die Lebensspanne“ kommen nicht zu kurz; von der Eltern-Kind-Beziehung über Freundschaft zur Partnerschaft spannen Janina Larissa Bühler & Tita Gonzalez Avilés einen wunderbaren Bogen über das ganze Leben 👇 shop.kohlhammer.de/enge-beziehu...
Genauso wichtig wie Sprache und Denken ist natürlich die „Soziale Kognition über die Lebensspanne“ Fantastisch zusammengefasst und erklärt von Gisa Aschersleben shop.kohlhammer.de/soziale-kogn...
Weiter geht’s mit „Denkprozesse und ihre Entwicklung über die Lebensspanne“ Sehr spannend und verständlich erklärt von Anke Maria Weber und Samuel Greiff (der vor etlichen Jahren mal mein Statistiktutor war im schönen Heidelberg 😂) shop.kohlhammer.de/denkprozesse...
Los geht’s mit „Sprachentwicklung über die Lebensspanne“ (ja, auch Sprache entwickelt sich nicht nur in der Kindheit 😉) von meiner brillanten „Wiener“ Kollegin Jutta Müller shop.kohlhammer.de/sprachentwic...
Ein Grund mehr sich auf das neue Jahr zu freuen 🤓 Beim Kohlhammer Verlag erscheinen die ersten Bände der neuen Buchreihe „Psychologie über die Lebensspanne“ Herausgegeben von meinen wunderbaren Kolleginnen Jana Nikitin, Nicola Ferdinand und mir 👇 shop.kohlhammer.de/psychologie-...

We are advertising **11 new PhD positions** in the second cohort of our RTG on Curiosity (details on all 11 positions here: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/open+posi...). One of these positions is in my group looking at the role of curiosity in early word learning (www.uni-goettingen.de/en/644546.ht...)
Thanks to the whole team for the wonderful collaboration and thanks to @fwf-at.bsky.social for funding our work @univie.ac.at 🤗
We discuss the links between INS and socio-cognitive functions & outcomes, e.g., social learning, language, and attachment. We contend that INS fosters mutual predictability and co-regulation in caregiver-child interactions. Yet, longitudinal research is required to substantiate mechanistic claims.
We provide an overview of hyperscanning studies with infants & children and note that interpersonal neural synchrony (INS) emerges as early as four months of age. We discuss its prerequisites and formulate developmental hypotheses, e.g. that it may initially be constrained to low frequencies.
🥳 So pleased to share our new publication: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... The whole @kinderstudien.bsky.social lab got together to do a little scientific retreat last year and this is the result - a truly developmental perspective on the phenomenon of interpersonal neural synchrony 🧠🧠 👨🍼👩🍼
Amazing new longitudinal work, led by Alicja Brzozowska, relating infant EEG theta power 🧠 at 6 and 12 months to cognitive outcomes at 24 months 👶 funded by @fwf-at.bsky.social @univie.ac.at 👇 in press in DCN @fluxsociety.bsky.social
Are humans really the only rational animals? Our NEW PAPER 🎉 out in @science.org suggests otherwise! In a large collaboration led with my joint first author @hanna-schleihauf.bsky.social, we show that “Chimpanzees rationally revise their beliefs” 🧵
It's FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS FALL 🍁🎃🍂

Are you interested in what to do with all that movement data you often get in your neuroscience measures? Is it just noise, or how can we make use of it? This December, we are organizing a workshop in Lübeck to discuss precisely these questions. (1/2)
