Thrilled to see this paper out! It's the culmination of a project begun in the depths of the pandemic with Sabrina Karjack and @zoengo.bsky.social . We continue our exploration of how children generalize when their episodic memory is not yet mature.
www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The dependence of children’s generalization on episodic memory varies with age and level of abstraction - Nature Communications

Children’s ability to generalize from episodic memories varies by both age and the level of abstraction. Here, the authors show that lower level generalization increasingly depends on episodic memory with age, whereas higher level generalization shows no such relationship.

I am BEYOND grateful & honestly still in shock about the lovely comments from the anonymous external letter writers on my tenure case! I don't know who I'm thanking, but I hope you see this and know that I will treasure these always and they meant the world to get (we see anon. quotes)! THANK YOU!

Laurel Joy Gabard-Durnam @laurelgd.bsky.social · 9d

I submitted tenure materials! There is so much to be done still, but I am proud of what we've done already since 2020. I am more grateful than I have words for my lab members, my mentors, my family. May there be many more full and fulfilling years ahead in this academy.
