Here is a new intervention study from our lab on the development of math skills, in collaboration with Ece Demir-Lira from the University of Iowa, led by Begüm Yılmaz and with Dilay Karadöller and Müge Caferoğlu @begumyilmaz.bsky.social @dilaykaradoller.bsky.social @ecedemirlira.bsky.social
Very excited about this paper I published with my former PhD students, who are brilliant researchers and scholars (and I am super proud of them!).

People form ad hoc conventions, establishing linguistic & gestural abstractions, and shift information across speech and gesture to communicate more efficiently over time.
We study this in our #CHI2026 paper, led by Kiyosu Maeda with @judithfan.bsky.social @rdhawkins.bsky.social and team
