#ICIS2026 @mzettersten.bsky.social taking about the MB5-Meta project, a systematic meta-analytical review of infant looking time preferences for novel vs. familiar visual stimuli. 💥 👀 🍎 Learn more here: manybabies.org/MB5-Meta/

Martin in front of a slide projected on a screen. The text reads:
Meta-Analysis questions:
1. What is the overall distribution of effect sizes? Does it reflect robust evidence of both familiarity and novelty preferences?
2. How does the effect size of looking preference change across age?
3. Are effect sizes moderated by familiarization time?

Here are a couple of photos from the Glasgow event, which was an absolute blast. Also, I forgot that we made @mcxfrank.bsky.social hold the Haribo prize tray the whole time lol. We love our community!!

Adrian, Lucy, and Martin show off their "MB2 Amazing Analysis" awards. Mike stands to the side holding a tray loaded with candy prizes.

Heidi hands a prize to Francis for being the "MB4 Renaissance Person". Mike holds a tray of candy in the background and laughs.

Hiromichi smiles and holds up his "ManyBabies AtHome: Most Strings Translated" award

Thrilled to be able to present a ManyBabies Award to Alvin Tan today, as he wasn't in Glasgow to attend the ICIS ManyBabiesies event. Congrats to Alvin and all of the winners!! (view a full list here: tinyurl.com/2024manybabi...)

Alvin (a man wearing glasses and a white t-shirt) accepts a certificate from Heidi (a woman wearing a lavender t-shirt) while both grin at the camera and shake hands. The certificate reads "ManyBabies Certificate of Achievement: Alvin Tan, for Amazing Analysis MB2 & MB4"

Our #ICIS2024 preconference workshop was so fun yesterday! So many great presentations and discussions, and so much to think about. I (Heidi) failed to take any pictures (oops) except for these shots of Francis Yuen’s MB4-themed shoes. Now that’s dedication!!

RT @mcxfrank: Instead, we created a framework with six key construct categories and ~20 total constructs within them, providing advice for how best to create context-specific questions that ask about each of these constructs.
