3-year postdoc at The Language Acquisition and Language Processing Lab (LALP), with a focus on toddlers at risk for autism and DLD, hosted by @vulchanovamila.bsky.social www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

So exhausting..

Whoever Ethan Eweed is, I congratulate him on his nomination.

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

Got Butterflies in your Stomach? I am super excited to share the first major study of my postdoc @the-ecg.bsky.social - Now out in @natmentalhealth.nature.com! We report a multidimensional mental health signature of stomach-brain coupling in the largest sample to date www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Major updates to our ConversationAlign R package - submitted to CRAN and JOSS today. If you're interested in computing alignment and main effects for >40 psycholinguistic dimensions in naturalistic conversation, this is the package for you reilly-conceptscognitionlab.github.io/Conversation...

The final kick is 😍😍😍

In preparation of teaching and supervision coming years I have created a webpage that provides a bit of a landing page for students to see what me and my colleagues are up to, to help carve out projects: www.wimpouw.com/collaborate....

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

How can we visualise the agency of art and artists in past societies? Mine and @dparrott.bsky.social's session at @tag2025york.bsky.social intends to bring together exciting new research to explore this question! Interested? Why not submit an abstract!✋ 🎨🖌️🏺

Introducing the tidynorm package! It's got convenience functions for applying your favorite vowel normalization methods to point measures, formant tracks, and DCT coefficients in a tidyverse workflow, as well as a flexible framework for defining your own normalization methods!

Thanks for all your interest in sharing cognitive psych teaching! There're 3 ongoing 🧵's now: 1️⃣ syllabus & general tips 👉 tinyurl.com/ktbrk7mm 2️⃣ useful videos 👉 tinyurl.com/z43hecdz 3️⃣ demos 👉 tinyurl.com/5n7pkp38 Check out these 🧵's & pls share your favorite resources! I'll share a complied list.

Check out our preprint (linked again here: osf.io/preprints/ps...) where we measured neural sensitivity to changes in semantic space while listening to a podcast. Not only do we look at word-to-word but larger chunks too (2-gram, 5-gram, 10-gram) to examine meaning construction at multiple levels.

In Nature Human Behaviour, Peter Gleick calls on scientists who are able and willing to do so to speak out publicly against the Trump administration’s attack on science, and argues that although dissent carries risks, it is riskier to stay silent. go.nature.com/3FIV7cC 🧪

How do children come to master the rhythm of conversation? What can we learn from autism? A thread on our new Cognitive Science paper w @chrismmcox.bsky.social (osf.io/preprints/ps...), which builds on evidence synthesis to flip previous findings. 1/

So happy - the swallows have decided to move back into the nest on the gable end of our house. They had abandoned it for two years, and I had given up hope that they would be back, but here they are!

Pro tip, folks: if you make a figure for a publication, don’t just hand the copyright over to the publisher. Post it on OSF first and then give yourself permission to use it in the first publication and then all future publications. That way, no permissions issues.

Once upon a time I couldn't replicate a published finding...and decided to do something about it. Little did I know how long it would take to finish 😭...but here we are. I'm super proud of this paper and grateful to the other 68 (!) authors. ❤️ royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

To make it easier to share teaching resources, I'd like to start by asking what your favorite cog psych videos are. Let me start: I love showing this visual agnosia video in class. Kevin is articulate about his recognition problems. What's your favorite? I'll compile your responses & share them.

I really like the backstory of this paper. I had been working w C Dideriksen & @chrismmcox.bsky.social on weird properties of Danish Infant Directed speech (srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...). I wanted to rigorously understand our findings given what was known on IDS across languages 1/

Our daily lives are packed w complex behaviours: reading a novel & piecing together the plot; negotiating decisions w family... How do we build mathematical models of the underlying cognitive mechanisms? Our new preprint osf.io/d2v54_v1 argues for a community approach A 🧵 1/

Give the people what they want! Semantic distance measures!

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

I wrote a very long blog post about AI writing. I hope you'll read it. meresophistry.substack.com/p/the-mental...

We are looking for a Phd student for a project on modeling second language learning using adaptive cognitive tutors. Please share with anyone who might be interested! phd.arts.au.dk/applicants/o...

PhD call: Investigate how spatial language and mental body maps are modulated by ageing. Behavioral exps and f/MRI & MEG used to map the structural and functional variability of brain regions known to be involved in linguistic and non-linguistic spatial processing. Deadline 15 March.

I don’t have any good system for keeping track of papers that I want to read later, when I have time. Do you?

If I had to sell you KGLW with one song, this would probably be it. In 2 minutes, you'll know if you hate it. For sure. But, around minute five, you might wonder whether this could be your favorite band too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb0f...
