A fantastic bunch of attendees and huge thanks to the Penn State ABA faculty for the invitation.

We live in a constantly changing world. What worked yesterday may not work today! We are quickly expect to adapt to a changing set of circumstances. Do we try new alternatives, or do we persist in previously successful methods? Is this associated with how quickly we solve problems?
Published in the Journal of Contextual Behavior Science! Congratulations to Katherine (Xiaoyuan) Liu!

May 2025 | REALM Lab RAs Julia Shalov and Elizabeth Ewing presented posters at the IPSP Conference
Julia presented on the link between relational language and set-shifting in adults.
Elizabeth presented her poster titled, "The Building Blocks of Math: Relational Language and Mathematical Concepts in Early Childhood".
We assessed math and relational skills in a sample of 43 neurotypical and neurodiverse children between the ages of 2 – 6 years. Relational responding develops early, and was found to be strongly correlated with age and mathematical ability.
