Here, we focus on "taxation." North American 14-17-month-olds were shown an actor who collected resources either equally or unequally. We find that infants looked longer to unequal resource exchanges, both when resources were unfairly taken from or unfairly given.
Can't wait for #CDS2026! My lab is excited to share some of our ongoing work featuring collaborations with Madison Pesowski's KIDS Lab at UFV! I hope you'll stop by and chat :)
Come check out our symposium on Saturday at #CDS2026! I'm biased but I think we have a really cool set of talks thinking about power as something that is negotiated dynamically and bidirectionally, and I'll be presenting new work done with @samuelronfard.bsky.social 🙌
Our lab members will be presenting their talks and posters at #cds2026 (Cognitive Development Society) in Montreal this week! Come check out their amazing work!
However, we also found evidence of age-related changes! Fairness expectations emerged later for resource collection events than for resource distribution events.
Overall, these results suggest that infants hold broader expectations for fairness that transcend a particular type of resource exchange, with interesting possibilities for future work on equity, fairness, and age-related change! Read the full article here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology is an unusual place for me to publish… Let me tell you the story of this paper.
Moral Minds Lab is at #CDS2026! Can't wait to see you all
@cogdevsoc.bsky.social! 🍁
Out in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social with @jaeminhwang.bsky.social, David Sobel (@candmlab.bsky.social), and @jessicas.bsky.social! Most studies of infants’ fairness expectations focus on resource distribution, but in everyday life, we engage in many different kinds of resource exchanges.
Looking forward to #CDS2026! Come learn about the work that my students and I are doing
