ICIS retweeted
So amazing experience of listening to colleagues working on the same topic as mine (although I’m doing kindergartners’ lexicalization).
Thank you all, @kelsey_frewin , Kelsey (West) and Brianna.
Empowered, moved and inspired by so many novel approaches.

One of the toughest parts of attending #ICIS2026 is deciding which session to attend—there are simply too many great options happening at the same time.

Join us on April 14th at 11am ET / 5pm CEST for a FIT’NG + ICIS preview of the Panama 2026 meetings: exclusive program sneak peeks, highlighting events of shared interest, and what you gain by attending both.

Di Prete et al. (2025) studied complementary feeding (parent-led vs. baby-led weaning) & maternal comm in 12mos. Both methods foster similar communicative envts, tho parent-led weaning involves more maternal instructional talk @ProgettoSpoon #infancypapers doi.org/10.1111/infa.70060
Tu et al. (2025) studied 9mo infants in Sweden & Zimbabwe via eye-tracking: attention allocation is different in these cultures in infancy, but each culture has a unique dynamic attentional style that includes holistic & analytic components #infancypapers doi.org/10.1111/infa.70063
Micheletti et al. (2025): new research using home observations & wearable sensors shows that when moms hold their crying babies, both moms & babies show vagal withdrawal. Physical touch, not vocalizing, may be key for regulation in the wild #infancypapers doi.org/10.1111/infa.70054
Meristo et al. (2025): preschool attendance (but not parents' mental state lang & having siblings) showed ⬆️sensitivity to unfair outcomes => early social interactions w/ peers in preschools impt in devt of toddlers' fairness expectations #infancypapers doi.org/10.1111/infa.70055
Dinzinger et al. (2025) show how maternal smartphone use affects mother–infant interaction, behavior, and autonomic arousal. Even short periods of phone use disturb interactions and lead to infant distress. #infancypapers doi.org/10.1111/infa.70056
