New @sfb1528.bsky.social and @rtg2906-curiosity.bsky.social publication. We show that mothers are worthy of the pedagogical assumption: they preferentially sample information that fills their child's knowledge gaps and children learn best from maternal sampling: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
⏱️Two days left to apply for the PhD position in our A1 project! Are you curious about the developmental interplay between curiosity, metacognition, and social learning? Join the second cohort of our RTG. Deadline: February 20. More details: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/open+posi...
Interested? Check out our homepage with the job ads, FAQs, and some hints on the application process: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/open+posi...
⏳ Another deadline is approaching! Are neural network models your thing? Apply for a PhD position in the C3 project with @violapriesemann.bsky.social More curious about children’s reading behaviour? The B3 project with Sascha Schroeder could be a good match for you. Deadline: February 15.
Come and join us in beautiful Munich! 🧠
We have a friendly, collaborative, and inclusive environment, where scientific rigour and curiosity are celebrated. 🎉

🚨 Deadline extended!
Ever asked yourself how children’s and adults’ curiosity affects their reading behaviour and choices? You still canapply for a PhD position in the B3 project led by Sascha Schroeder. Applications are open until February 15th. Learn more: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/open+posi...
⏰Until January 31, you can apply for 3 PhD positions! Join Sascha Schroeder in his B3 project on children’s reading behaviour, or explore what is boosted by curiosity in project B4 with @nivimani.bsky.social. If hierarchical modeling is more your thing, join @sinzlab.bsky.social in the C5 project!
⏰ Apply until Jan 15 if you want to work on baboons (the A3 project with @julxf.bsky.social). If you prefer lemurs, the B2 project with @kirindy.bsky.social is for you. The A4 project with @anne-schacht.bsky.social in Psychology/Affective Neuroscience is open for applications too!
🐒 Would you like to study the fantastic Assamese macaques at the Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary in Thailand? Apply for a PhD position in our A2 project led by @primbehavecol.bsky.social!
⏰You can apply until tomorrow, December 20. More info here: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/open+posi...

Finally, many thanks to all helpers and our co-organisers @rtg2906-curiosity.bsky.social, @spp2205.bsky.social, the Campus Institute Dynamics of Biological Networks, the Campus Institute Data Science and the Human and Cognition Research Center @uni-goettingen.de
Last week, we had three amazing days full of discussions and wondering what curiosity actually means. Thank you to @modirshanechi.bsky.social, @mjgruber.bsky.social, and Lisa Beinborn for being there with us, it was a pleasure. Special thanks to Azzurra Ruggeri for her great talk!
What an event - or rather, what a year!
Our RTG celebrated its first year! We had the pleasure of listening to a talk by the president of @uni-goettingen.de about his research on curiosity. Later, we explored new disciplines. Maybe it’s not rocket science, but we’re still giving our best 😉
After a visit is before the next visit! Thank you for sharing your research with us @gambichiara.bsky.social from @warwickpsych.bsky.social and Louise Goupil from @uelbabydevlab!
Schematische Karte der Virtuellen Tour zur Forschung des SFB 1528. Links sind unter dem Titel „Methods of Primate Research“ fünf Stationen dargestellt: Brain Scanning (Gehirnscan), Bridging the Gap Between Lab and Field (Brücke zwischen Labor und Freiland), Tracking Monkeys With AI (Affenverfolgung mit KI), Measuring Interactions Between Partners (Messung von Interaktionen zwischen Partnern), und eine zentrale Figur einer Person. Rechts unter dem Titel „Research Area: Assessing Others“ drei Stationen: Grasping in Macaques (Greifen bei Makaken), Food Gathering in Baboons (Nahrungsaufnahme bei Pavianen), und Food Gathering in Lemurs (Nahrungsaufnahme bei Lemuren). Unten rechts sind Symbole für die Navigation der Tour: Audio Guide, Navigation Menu, Main Path und Explore. In der Mitte das Logo des SFB 1528 „Cognition of Interaction“.
