Children draw talking in Jamaica
This morning I met with Dr. Karla Washington and her team of very enthusiastic students from the University of Cincinnati to discuss their analysis of 231 Jamaican children's drawings of talking. The data are very interesting and mirror some of our findings from Australia. They are about to head to Jamaica to collect more data soon.
