Brand new PBS Kids show that I am lucky enough to be doing some research with!
Premiering today on @PBSKIDS, @GBH's brand-new @WombatsPBS series is bringing both a fun-loving trio of marsupial siblings and an underrepresented mix of creative voices to children's television. Via @laughingplace: bit.ly/40rJWdX

Excited to share a new article that I worked on with @LauricellaPhD. This study represents one of those major research "pivots" many of us had to do during the pandemic, but ended up being a lot of fun and a bit surprising! Free to access through Oct. 22: authors.elsevier.com/c/1fh97…

In this experimental study, we tested whether the zoom experience, specifically whether kids could see themselves on screen during a story read-aloud, impacted kindergartners' story comprehension. Surprisingly, it didn't! But distraction, whether on or off screen, was a problem.
