Over the last year, we have been building something new in our lab: dual pupillometry & eye-tracking, led by pioneering post-doc Velisar Manea. Here we are using it to measure infant and caregiver pupil and gaze response simultaneously to the same event. Baby in red, mum in blue.

When you discover new effects using preregistration, high power, & replicate faithfully with open materials, you get a replication rate of 86% & effect sizes 97% as big!

Our new published paper with so many wonderful researchers:

Goal:

Every published study from my current lab (est. 2014) will have at least the dataset used for analysis and a procedures manual posted to my OSF profile: osf.io/ajd2i by next year.

Posting publicly for self-accountability!

I made a little diagram for illustrating the difference between fixed effects and random effects meta-analyses. #stats
