Mind, Action and Development in the Environment (MADE) Lab The MADE lab investigates how environments shape cognitive development and learning.

Check out our newly rebranded lab investigating how environments shape cognitive development and learning. We focus on abilities typically associated with the frontal lobes, aiming to understand how experience influences how we think, act, and learn. www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/departme...

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

New paper with @jmedrano.bsky.social. It’s the first experiment in a line of research testing working memory (our ability to hold and manipulate information for later use) theories in the context of math problem solving and learning.

Lovely to see you. And your campus is beautiful! We bought t-shirts 😂

Quick trip to @uofcalifornia.bsky.social for a coffee and a chat with @damcotto.bsky.social 😊 ☕️ ☀️
