Our paper on preterm children's narrative skills is now published! I am so grateful to my advisor @GoksunTilbe and amazing co-authors @serefesmer @Isildogan_ @oedemir @AsliErciyes . Our findings show that preterm children’s narratives are comparable to those of full-term children

Our paper on preschoolers’ relational reasoning with @cogpsyc_eylul @DilayKaradoller and @GoksunTilbe has recently published! We found that Turkish-speaking preschoolers succeeded at RMTS. Children who use fewer relational vocabulary relied more on working memory to succeed.
Ending the year with another paper from our lab. This was part of my amazing MA student Şeref's thesis at our lab with a great team! @serefesmer @cogpsyc_eylul @DilayKaradoller Sources of variation in preschoolers’ relational reasoning sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
