To help staff who are new to (F2F) lecturing I have pulled together some guidance on how to write & deliver a lecture covering content, reading lists, slides, preparation, performance, activities, inclusivity, tech issues & evaluation. If you're lecturing F2F for the first time this semester (or for the first time in a long time), I hope you find it useful!

The first article as part of my PhD has now been published! 🥳 Dog breeds differed from each other in several cognitive traits, such as inhibitory control (cylinder test), understanding of human gestures, spatial problem-solving (V-detour), and human-directed ("help-seeking") behaviour during an unsolvable task.

🥂 Our paper on the synchrony effect in mind-wandering is out now in Collabra: Psychology ! Impressive work by #VladaAslanov and #SophiaSchnelzer.

@cognition @cogsci

For those unfamiliar with the journal ➡️ Collabra: Psychology is the official journal of @improvingpsych , is completely OA, and might just have the right scientific values.

Are you new to Mastodon? When I started here last month I found this #Tootorial by @djnavarro very helpful for understanding not only the interface but the culture of hashtags (that have CapitalLetters), alt-text, and content warnings.
