🚨My brainchild of the last 1.5yrs is now available to read in @jaacap! Let’s break ‘reward processing’ down into its building blocks, and study them systematically in infants & toddlers. tinyurl.com/th3cp7pb 1/5 🧵

Wrote a commentary on Chiappini et al's multimodal assessment of reward processing in autism. They assessed effort (grip force), liking and wanting (self-report, facial EMG, and fMRI), and preference/valuation (pref. asst). authors.elsevier.com/a/1jjCN8jVtv5U…

Very fun to watch people at #INSAR2025 trying out pressMORE, our musical bubble machine where you press the button more and more to turn it on.

🌟Recruiting for study! We aim to study the experiences of autistic & gender diverse teens! We hope to recruit 50 teens to take an online survey, with some participants invited to interview. Study flyer below! Please RT to spread the word! #Autism #Neurodiversity

📣 I'm hiring a research coordinator! Would you enjoy working with preschool age autistic children during study visits, & a wonderful group of grad students & staff in the developmental and clinical psych programs at ND? If yes, pls email your resume/CV to [email protected]!

NIMH data portal to access NDAR and other data has been down for over 2 months and our project has been stalled. Any idea when we can expect NDA back up and running @NIMHgov ? Thanks!

Now also seems like a good time to announce here that I’m taking a clinical grad student(s) this year. If you’re interested in how reward processing develops in the young brain, or in genetic syndromes, come talk to me! I’ll be at the @ABCTAutism happy hour tonight.

Heading to @ABCTNOW ! Excited for @McellinMik48849 to present her first conference poster on effort in 3-5 year olds. They loved our new progressive ratio task with a musical bubble machine! (Pic of a 6-year-old cheetah who loved the bubble task 🐆🫧)

I'm so fortunate to be part of a cohort of amazing new faculty in the psych department at Notre Dame Read about them below! (skip past the first one, though, he's not worth your time) @eshewark @matthewkrobison @HayayaFatimah @ivanvargasphd @KaylinEHill al.nd.edu/news/latest-ne…
