🧠 Is hierarchical reasoning uniquely human, or do we share this capacity across species and development? Our new paper in Cognition, "Flexibility of hierarchical reasoning across age and species," explores how humans and non-humans flexibly deploy recursive strategies! 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

New w/ @drbarner.bsky.social in Cognitive Science! We explored how kids learn the “later-greater” principle — the idea that numbers that come later in a count are greater in magnitude. Turns out this simple property governing the count system doesn't come easy! dx.doi.org/10.1111/cogs... 1/6

One, Two, Three, Four… What's More? Successor Relations, not Mappings to Approximate Magnitudes, Support Learning the Later‐Greater Principle

As we count up, number words that occur later in our count denote greater quantities. Here, we tested whether children's understanding of this “later-greater” principle originates from associating nu...

nice case study in how apparently robust "failures" in animal cognition research can be due to simple, boring performance errors rather than reflecting fundamental differences in cognition (ditto for children)

New paper finally out in @NatureComms with E. Leib, D. O’Shaughnessy, C. Gallardo, @sferrigno.bsky.social, and @spiantado.bsky.social. 📝Children across cultures discover the latent algorithms that structure what they see, even without instruction, feedback, or formal schooling.🧵 tinyurl.com/4a238m2d

We plan to hire a post doc to start in Fall 2026 (flexible), in the Aulet Lab at UMass Amherst, funded for two years. The postdoc will help establish our developmental fMRI research program studying symbolic number acquisition in 4-8 year old children (among other things!).

The Cognitive Origins Lab is hiring a new lab manager! I can personally vouch that this is a great place to grow and do exciting research--I highly recommend applying if you want to do comparative work!
