Early experiences with number matter! Hearing more number words @ 1 & 2 predicts better math skills @ 4.5. This holds across language & ethnicity. Importantly, children are sensitive to specific inputs: 1 & 2yos benefit most from small numbers & cardinal values.

The third from my postdoc w Melissa Libertus tested a series of gamified, tablet-based interventions, and found that an intervention targeting executive function improved math skills more than did directly targeting math in 4-6yo preschoolers. academic.oup.com/chidev/advan...

Excited to announce THREE new publications in the last couple weeks.
The second w @rebeccaperetzlange.bsky.social Tali Berkowitz & @shustermanna.bsky.social uses data from children born deaf/hard of hearing & finds amount of time without access to language explains delays in executive function vs children born typically hearing authors.elsevier.com/a/1mop351Y-b...
The first w @rebeccamerkley.bsky.social @damcotto.bsky.social explores differences in relations bw working memory & math performance for Ss from different SES strata. Working memory predicted math growth twice as strongly for children from lower-income homes authors.elsevier.com/a/1mnuMh%7EJ...
