We propose that 2-year-olds show emerging sensitivity to disadvantageous outcomes, but only 4-year-olds' costly responses to unfairness reflect true disadvantageous inequity aversion.

By age 6, many children in the US believe that numbers are infinite, despite initially representing counting as a meaningless & finite chain of words. In a new paper w/ Jess Sullivan & @drbarner.bsky.social, we explored the basis for this conceptual change. 1/n

When and how children begin responding to inequitable resource distributions, particularly those that put them at a disadvantage, remains unclear. Acr…

We investigated task-specific links to arithmetic to understand inconsistencies in the literature, now published open-access in Child Development:

A great collaboration with @sixtine-o.bsky.social and André Knops!
Children build math skills on a “cognitive bridge” between space & number. But where does it come from? Our new study finds monkeys transfer learning and abstractions across geometry & numerosity, revealing the evolutionary roots of basic math development. 🧪🧠

Research on the development of early mathematics skills (e.g., during the 3–5 year old period) has seen a dramatic increase in publications in the las…
Really happy this paper is finally out. This began as an R script I wrote for a paper in 2016, and the Ben (first author) took this idea and improved it, iteration after iteration, into an R package.

Recent studies (Cheung et al., 2017; Chu et al., 2020; Sullivan et al., 2023) argue that children may infer the existence of infinite magnitudes throu…
Our new study (Debray*, Karami* et al.) explores how the brain encodes basic math concepts (integers, fractions, shapes). Samuel Debray led the 7T fMRI & behavioral work; I led the MEG.

Are you studying underlying mechanisms?
I recently started and struggled with what exactly a mechanism was and how to research it.
I wrote a theoretical statement aiming to clarify how we conceptualise mechanisms, which is now in press @ Journal of Numerical Cognition

Selecting an effect size for power analysis is hard.
Many researchers fall back on Cohen's thresholds, but they have no empirical basis and vary wildly by field. Our new paper offers a better option: field-specific effect size distributions built from meta-analytic data doi.org/10.3758/s134...
