AI disclosure

During the design of this website, stakeholders stated a preference for summaries to be written by the people behind the research and not generated by AI. Please keep this in mind while writing your summary and do disclose if you have used generative AI so that we can be transparent with readers.

By completing the form linked below, you will be agreeing for the information provided to be revised and published on this website. If significant revisions are needed, we will contact you to discuss these. You will be emailed when your summary has been published. If you have any questions or queries, please feel free to get in touch via email: developingmindsdigest@psy.ox.ac.uk.
