What triggers curiosity? How close you *think* you are—not how close you actually are—matters most. And both that meta-awareness and your actual knowledge contribute to learning outcomes. New lab paper by Shirlene Wade out in @Psychonomic_Soc's PBR celestekidd.com/papers/WadeK…

The lab formerly known at the Rochester Baby Lab is packing up & relocating to @UCBerkeley, where we'll now be @KiddLab. Same science, new venue. While we are excited for new opportunities, we will miss you dearly, Rochester families. Thank you for 34 incredible years.
