The September issue @CurrentBiology What do infants think when they see social interactions? 👶🏻
The representation of interacting people as agent and patient reveals a language-of-thought before language development

New pre-print with @AlanLangus ✨ we claim that spontaneous pupillary synchrony to auditory stimuli can be a way to explore speech perception & segmentation as speech unfolds. Find it in "Rhythms of Speech and Language", editors @AntjeStrau @LanguageCycles osf.io/6rj84
Great to be part of the word learning session at the International Congress of Infant Studies @Infantstudies in Glasgow. @BabylabPotsdam
New paper with @BollAvetisyan_N on infants’ rhythmic engagement with speech and its consequences on language perception. doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1…

New paper with @mireia__marimon We show that when prosodic and statistical cues are in conflict, German-learning 6-mo rely on prosody. Unlike English infants, German infants show no segmentation with statistical cues at all! doi.org/10.1111/infa.12593
So glad our paper with @amandasaksida was acknowledged as the paper of the month by the Research Area Cognitive Sciences at U. Potsdam. @CogSciUP doi.org/10.1111/cdev.13993

Do babies get that flipping a switch causes the Christmas tree to light up?
Now out in @PNASNews, we explore how infants conceive the causal power of objects, agents and tools. With @parvanehadib @BabyLyon11 @ISC_MJ @CNRS_dr07 @CNRS @UnivLyon1

Such a great pleasure to visit @ISC_MJ and one of the most exciting baby labs in the world @BabyLyon11 . Thank you @ljuba_pi and @JR_Hochmann for having me. – at Potsdam, Germany
Among the good things of this last November: the @ISC_MJ hosted Dr. Alan Langus @AlanLangus who gave a great talk on rhythm as a pervasive feature of human life and cognition, and it’s role in language acquisition in infancy.
Thanks for visiting us Alan!!

This week will be my last one at the @BabylabPotsdam before moving to Barcelona to start my @MSCActions postdoc. I have learnt so much these past 8 years and although we’ll keep working together I will miss the team💙 (Many missing on the photo) #seeyousoon
