Very excited to have been awarded this 5-year Leverhulme Trust grant with my Co-I @FitzyLily. We will be developing a multi-dimensional battery of curiosity measures and looking at different aspects of curiosity for well-being and academic outcomes.
Congratulations to our very own @MarinaBazhydai @lancspsychres @LancasterUni for being awarded a @LeverhulmeTrust Research Grant: “Curiosity Battery: Developing a new toolkit for primary school children”. 1/2

New paper alert: a new parent-report measure of curiosity in infants, featuring also three subscales of sensory, investigative, and interactive curiosity. Check it out #DevSci - we hope it will become a powerful tool for developmental research!

Very proud of this paper led by brilliant @ElenaAltmann! And this is just the first from her upcoming publications resulting from PhD - stay tuned!
Researchers developed the Curious Choices paradigm to investigate how infants explore two novel categories using interactive, gaze-contingent eye-tracking. @ElenaAltmann @gert_westermann @MarinaBazhydai @LancsBabylab @lancspsychres (2/5)

Beautiful talk by @zannaclay at @Infantstudies this morning #ICIS24. Non-human (and human!) social and emotional capacities, including experience of curiosity and wonder, is still a great mystery.
