SMURF Study
SMURF Study
The SMURF study is aimed at examining the brain signals linked to young children's confidence and self-awareness. Children complete a task in which they self-evaluate their performance. The study is for 3.5 - 6 year olds and their caregivers.
Designing a new early childhood measure of socioemotional development
Designing a new early childhood measure of socioemotional development
As part of a UNL Grand Challenges project, we're working to develop a new measure of socio-emotional development for children aged 3 - 5 years. We're looking for as many early educators and parents/primary caregivers as possible to try the new measure with their children. Teachers/parents read an electronic story book with the child, fill in a short survey about the child's development, then tell us what they think about the measure.
Relation of early childhood educators' emotional wellbeing to children's self-regulation
Relation of early childhood educators' emotional wellbeing to children's self-regulation
With funding from NICHD and the Administration for Children, Youth and Families, we are working with collaborators in the College of Educational and Human Sciences at UNL to determine the relation of early childhood educators' own emotional wellbeing to children's self-regulation. These questions are supporting the development of the CHIME intervention, which aims to enhance early childhood educators' wellbeing, reflective practice, and socio-emotional learning.
Neural bases for reasoning about biological models
Neural bases for reasoning about biological models
In the Neural basis of Modeling (NEMO) study, we've partnered with researchers in Life Sciences education at UNL to examine how biology students' brains respond to learning about biological models. We are looking specifically at whether students use brain regions related to executive function when reasoning about models in biology. The NEMO study is funded by the National Science Foundation.
