The journey continues....with new research from our group ongoing - and with new developments for Triple-A, such as a focus on PE specifically, and with a whole-school in-person version of the training! Watch this space……

Once again, thank you to all the wonderful children, young people, parents and teachers who took part in the underpinning research, and to our amazing team of autistic people, parents, teachers and academics who co-designed the training tool. @21andsensory.bsky.social

It’s been such an interesting and worthwhile journey so far - with over 8000 users and considerable evidence of positive impact on understanding and practice. Here we share our new pre-print on the development of Triple-A, including analysis of its use and impact so far: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

New paper! V excited to have published my first #cognitive #DevelopmentalPsychology project. 😁 We demonstrated body weight after effects in 7-10yos, 11-12yos, 14-15yos, and adults. Data suggest that just like with faces, visual representations of bodies mature relatively young.

Body size aftereffects are adult-like from 7 years onward
There is considerable evidence that adults’ perception of body weight in others can be manipulated via visual exposure to multiple bodies at one or an…

The 7-10yo data were collected at @durhamdevsci.bsky.social 's Junior Scientist community event. You'd think a big noisy hall, competing with cool VR studies, would be tough for good data collection but I've never seen an effect quite this clean! #PsychSciSky
Schematic of the experimental procedure. Participants viewed a range of bodies, followed by a set of very high or low weight bodies, and then rated the original bodies for weight again.Both children and adults show a clear drop in the heaviness ratings they give stimuli after viewing a series of high weight bodies

Presence on Presence: I watched Soderbergh's new film and wrote a bit for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ja...

Great to see work from our team lead by the fantastic @fassiluisa.bsky.social being written up for a general audience by The Mental Elf! Worth a read if you are interested in the evidence base on social media and clinical anxiety/depression in young people ⬇️
