@cogsci_soc Hi! 👋 I'm Carolyn. I study metacognitive confidence in children. I look at how people make sense of confusing and often conflicting input by comparing and combining information from different sources. I'm also examining how confidence influences social cognition.

Hey Developmental researchers: I'm looking for participant database recommendations! 🔍 Must be inexpensive, easy to use and have the option to store data only in Canada. Most previous labs used FileMaker, are there others?

👇 And apply more than once if you're still eligible! The reviewers and other applicants often change each time, so you never know!
I won two prestigious awards for my dissertation. How did I do it? I applied. Good research isn’t enough. You can’t win anything unless you submit an application. Believe in yourself.

So unbelievably proud of my lab sister @DpDramkin! She could have filled a bingo card of "things that could go wrong during your PhD", but persevered and defended a beautiful dissertation today.
Today we are celebrating our amazing @DpDramkin! She just defended her PhD dissertation and not even COVID could hold her down! Congratulations, Dr. Dramkin! ✨ You are an outstanding researcher and we are all so proud of you!

@saraannhart Consulting! So many academics do it but it was so hidden. Make sure to talk about reasonable rates - I got told to charge $60/hour by other grad students and that was WAY undervaluing my skillset.

@DorsaAmir Hmm, i got very high verbal and like 30th% visual. But now I'm confused, because my memories are part visual, but actually more like a weird sense about the spatial arrangement of a scene, plus actions, plus the emotional state I was feeling at the time?

Check out work with @celestekidd and @JanEngelmann5, presented virtually at #CogSci2023! We're finding that children attend to confidence to compare and integrate others' beliefs. They trust high confidence beliefs, but pick a midpoint when confidence is equal (by 8 years old).

@DorsaAmir Omg I feel so seen. I sometimes write in notes like "don't judge me, I don't know how to implement a dictionary in R so we're stuck with this" to warn future readers/myself to be nice Also a fun easter egg for anyone reading my code one day!
