ManyBabies 3: A Multi‐Lab Study of Infant Algebraic Rule Learning

The ability to learn and apply rules lies at the heart of cognition. In a seminal study, Marcus et al. (1999) reported that 7-month-old infants learned abstract rules over syllable sequences and were...

New paper 🍼📄 ManyBabies 3 is out (open access, registered report in Developmental Science). 30 labs, 33 languages, 839 infants set out to replicate a textbook finding: 7-month-olds learn abstract rules from speech (@garymarcus.bsky.social et al., 1999). We didn’t find it. 🧵

Summerschool 13-17 July Multiscale Social Dynamics at MindLabs NL - Sign ups are open!

We're pleased to announce the Summerschool 'Multiscale Social Dynamics in Individuals and Groups' (MDIG2026) at MindLabs, Tilburg, NL - 13-17 July 2026.
You can register here for a 5-day in-person summer school at Tilburg University, Research Center for Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence, from July 13th-17th (monday to friday), with the theme Multiscale Social Dynamics in Individuals and Groups (MDIG2026). This summer school supported by EnvisionBox.org will feature hands-on tutorials on analysis pipelines from computer science and complexity science, including methods for motion tracking, kinematic and acoustic analysis, empirical mode decomposition, windowed multiscale synchrony analysis, and related approaches. Rather than focusing on a single modality, we will cover several aspects of multimodal communication, including visual, prosodic, and movement-based signals, and examine how these interact across multiple temporal and spatial scales. One dedicated day will focus on methods for data management, masking and anonymizing audiovisual data to ensure privacy protection and GDPR compliance. In addition, participants will work in groups on applied projects throughout the week, culminating in presentations of project progress at the end of the summer school. The goal of the summer school is twofold: first, to familiarize participants with state-of-the-art tools, open solutions, and datasets for multiscale social signal analysis, and second, to critically examine their limitations. By the end of the week, participants will have gained practical skills, new analytical tools, and a deeper understanding of how these methods can be improved to advance research in multimodal behavioral dynamics.
Location
The Netherlands, MindLabs Tilburg University
Fee
125 euros person that includes a 5-day summer school featuring lectures and hands on tutorials and working groups with lunches, coffee breaks, and one social dinner provided (budget permitting).

Had a great time at SENSS @thesenssdtp.bsky.social conference at Cranfield! Inspiring theme, "Social Sciences Beyond Academia", with great discussions on impact, non-conventional research communication and policy. I also presented my work using head-mounted eye-tracking & ML to study infant learning
