Excited to share an open dataset of 321 3-12yo children who completed our ToM booklet task, as well as all task materials + guides for administration & coding.

We are sharing an open dataset of >300 children, 3–12-years-old, including 64 (neurotypical) children assessed longitudinally and 68 autistic children, each answering >40 ToM questions ranging in difficulty.

10 years of Hilary Richardson @hilaryrichardson.bsky.social's and Saxelab's data! Please re-use.

New paper on a project we started more than a decade ago. How does being born blind affect development of understanding others sight? And the brain regions that relate to this cognition?

Is there a name for this phenomenon: nonsense or noise or foreign speech can be made to sound like specific English words by adding captions.

New preprint with Michael C. Frank and Maya Mathur: Eleven years of student replication projects provide evidence on the correlates of replicability in psychology (psyarxiv.com/dpyn6/) reporting 176 replications from students in a grad methods class Stanford Psychology. (1/5)
