How Do Children And Adults Evaluate Fairness Norms?
Children are sensitive to (un)fairness. But do children respond to unfairness the same way they respond to other moral violations? Through five studies with over 280 children and 540 adults in the U.S., we find that children may not equate norms of fairness in resource distribution with harm-based moral norms, even into middle childhood and adulthood, pointing to the need for a more nuanced understanding of children’s developing perceptions of social norms.

[SAGE Seminar] [SOC Seminar] Forty Years of Forecasting Tournaments: What We Learn When We Get Serious about Keeping Score
“Meliorism” stresses the feasibility of improving human judgment—and has been the driving philosophical force behind subjective-probability forecasting tournaments over the last 40 years. This talk focuses on what we have learned: (a) about spotting talent (superforecasting), cultivating talent (training), developing teams (coaching), and designing crowd-aggregation algorithms; (b) about aleatory-uncertainty boundary conditions on Meliorism. I also offer an uncharacteristically bold forecast for the next 40 years.
Untangling Alzheimer’s Disease: Identification Of Early Events Contributing To Pathogenesis
While Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is predominantly diagnosed late in life, research suggests that brain changes associated with this disorder occur decades before. The goal of the Velazquez Lab at Arizona State University's Neurodegenerative Disease Research Center is to identify the early events that trigger the progression of AD. Dr. Velazquez will first present his team’s recent discovery of a newly identified protein, the retinoblastoma binding protein 7 (Rbbp7), and its role against tau acetylation, an early pathological event in AD
A Flock of Brains: Round-Robin Designs in the Neural Basis of Interpersonal Perception
In the past 20 years, there has been a surge of interest in using neuroimaging to study the biological basis of self and person knowledge. However, typical neuroimaging studies on these topics employ designs in which subjects have to think about a target that is familiar to all participants but interpersonally distant (e.g. a fictional person, celebrity, or former president). In other designs, the target is interpersonally close to individual participants but different for each person in the study (e.g. each participant’s best friend or family member).
