Forget just birth order for early language!
(it's kinda U-shaped anyway...)
We introduce a *better* measure (capturing more variance): a household "child-to-caregiver" ratio, where old-enough siblings are considered caregivers, rather than being another child competing for parental resources.

Across our sample, females outperformed males, but participant ethnicity had no effect. Our results confirm the stability of the CFMT-C across variable conditions and with diverse participant groups. 3/3
Using logistic mixed effects models, we were able to investigate effects of participant characteristics (age/gender/ethnicity vs. test stage (face learning/simple recognition/harder recognition). Our results show clear improvement with age, an effect more pronounced in the harder test stages... 2/3
Our new paper is just out in Behavior Research Methods! tinyurl.com/54jutzvd - with Louise Ewing, @ekfarran.bsky.social, Michael Papasavva, Ines Mares & @marielsmith8.bsky.social . We present data from 607 children aged 5-12 completing the Cambridge Face Memory Test for Children... 1/3
