📣 The difference between replicable and not replicable is not itself scientifically replicable. 📣
New work with Erkan Buzbas, showing that verdicts such as "X% of results replicated" are based on an inferential machinery that doesn't work.

But there WAS an S at the end of Bradlees and Ames, so we weren't completely making up Ss where they don't belong
Yessssss such a great paper, I'm so happy this is officially out!
Sadly I will not be at VSS this year, but here's what our lab is up to!
(In solidarity with many VSS attendees, however, I may be foregoing many hours of sleep -- not for long walks on the beach but due to the anticipated arrival of a second child any day now...)
How much does it matter whether children think science is about stereotypical tools like microscopes and beakers—or about seeking evidence and building explanations for how the world works?
New paper w/ @debkelemen.bsky.social suggests these ideas shape how children learn science.🧵

The Think Lab will be at #CDS2026 in Montreal! Join us!
Huh, apparently there was never an S at the end of Caldor, Lechmere, or JC Penney...
Had a great time sharing my work with @levelsof.bsky.social on visual imagery variability in children at CDS in Montreal! So excited to get this measure out soon so it can be put to use! And… can’t wait to see what we (with @jorge-morales.bsky.social, Sam Ling, and Michaela Klimova) find in the 🧠.
New work from my lab! Young children find it easier to represent mutually-exclusive possible identities of an object than possible locations of an object - an early object-rep-architecture limitation on possibility reasoning! Work led by @esranur.bsky.social recently accepted in Open Mind ✨
