In 2021 we reported that live learning outperformed recorded learning. In a new preregistered analysis, my first senior-author paper led by Stan de Visser (pre-print), we find that this benefit does not increase with interactivity. The potential to interact may be enough to boost learning. A thread:
Interested in support for babies & their caregivers & art therapy?

Let's not give him/this any more attention than necessary, but I want to at least state this very clearly... This is so, so wrong. On so many levels.
I’m excited to follow up on some of the great discussions & conversations from across the conference!
Thank-you to the organisers @cvonbastian.bsky.social, @vmloaiza1.bsky.social, & team for an excellent conference - my first experience of #ESCoP2025, & I’m already looking forward to the next 😊
Lastly, I presented data looking at the influence of ‘other’ when attributing mental states, and potential biases in mentalizing processes - are we better able to attribute mental states to people the same-age as us?
*but it’s awkward to post a photo of myself so here’s a photo of the venue ☺️
Our penultimate speaker was Heather Ferguson (@kent.ac.uk), who presented fascinating data examining mechanisms of social cognitive changes in older age, including social attention, mental state attribution, and visual perspective taking
We then heard from Andrew Surtees (@uob-sop.bsky.social) about how mood can impact children’s mentalizing processes - are children like adults, becoming more egocentric when in happier moods? Is it helpful to be sad?!
Next up, @profjristic.bsky.social told us about the impressive impact of ‘a look’ - detailing the rich information eye gaze can provide, and how well we can interpret intention behind gaze
Kicking off the session, @toschu.bsky.social presented interesting data on the link between developmental trajectories of Theory of Mind and psychopathology, across early childhood and preadolescence
A particular thanks to the fantastic speakers who were part of the ‘Current Perspectives on Mentalizing: Social Cognition Across Contexts’ symposium, covering a range of topics on our understanding of mentalizing processes - and influential factors - across developmental and lifespan perspectives
It’s been an excellent few days in Sheffield for #ESCoP2025! I have enjoyed so many talks, posters, and chats, and have come away feeling inspired and excited about research ideas and topics happening across labs 🤩
On my way to Sheffield for what looks set to be an excellent meeting - my first time at ESCOP, and I am very excited by the programme line up! #ESCOP2025
Just started my journey as well! See you there 😄
What a brilliant time at @exppsychsoc.bsky.social in Dundee last week! Huge congratulations to Mike Burton for his Sir Frederick Bartlett prize lecture and thank you for attracting so many awesome face perception researchers! 🥰🤓 Thank you to @lizziebradford.bsky.social for organising! 👏
We would like to say a big thank you to all attendees, speakers, helpers and organisers from both the EPS and CSBBCS memberships who have made this joint meeting such a big occasion!

That’s a wrap on the joint @exppsychsoc.bsky.social and CSBBCS (Canadian Society for Brain, Behaviour, and Cognitive Science) held in very sunny Dundee! It’s been an amazing few days of talks, posters, chats, and celebrations - thank you to everyone who attended!
Still trying to cool down after lasts nights conference dinner and ceilidh - ceilidh dancing is hot work!😄

Amazing to see so many people at the meeting - got to hear some fantastic talks, chatted at some brilliant posters, and enjoyed some excellent cognitive science! 😄 Looking forward to even more in the next couple of days ☺️
