1) An older article but one I enjoy every time it resurfaces: Mister Rogers’ Nine Rules for Speaking to Children, or how his careful phrasing (“Freddish”) spoke to young audiences

"Rogers understood and acknowledged the unique power and privilege of his role ... Rogers wanted us to know, says Greenwald, “that the inner life of children was deadly serious to them,” and thus deserving of care and recognition."

New paper from the side of the Kuhlmeier lab

The widespread adoption of new methods for testing children does not typically occur over a matter of months. Yet, the pandemic created a sudden need among many research groups to use online testing. We report results from a survey of researchers on experiences with online testing and discuss challenges, limitations, and opportunities.

New paper from the side of the Kuhlmeier lab on shyness & prosocial behavior: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33

We presented 3.5- to 4.5-year-olds with problems that varied, in a 2 x 2 within-subjects design, by the type of intervention required (helping or comforting) and the source of the problem (within the experimenter’s personal space or distanced from her). Shyer children were not less likely to intervene, but they were slower to do so.

Something I have been thinking about recently: What is the difference between cognition and cognitive development?

Are they both describing change in a system – caused by the same processes – but at different scales of time and levels of organisation, or are they describing different phenomena and causal processes, or a bit of both?

Curious to hear what others think. Feel free to elaborate!

New, extremely careful research suggests:

Fully 1/3 of effect of growing up in a poor on children's is due to

"Although most prior research about the effects of concentrated poverty focuses on older children and posits mechanisms involving differences in socialization or institutional resources, we provide evidence that the etiology of neighborhood effects lies earlier [...] and is rooted in environmental
inequalities"

Are you new to Mastodon? When I started here last month I found this by @djnavarro very helpful for understanding not only the interface but the culture of hashtags (that have CapitalLetters), alt-text, and content warnings.

To celebrate the fact my mentee, Tara Karasewich, passed her PhD defense this week (🎉 🎉 🎉 ), I thought I'd highlight a paper of hers that appeared in Developmental Review:

Trait social anxiety as a conditional adaptation: A developmental and evolutionary framework

Journal DOI: doi.org/10.1016/j.dr.2019.1008

"Physical changes in the brain that occurred during adolescence – such as thinning of the cortex and growth of the hippocampus and the amygdala – were greater in the post-lockdown group than in the pre-pandemic group... Brain age difference was about three years."
