New #OA corpus doi.org/10.5281/zeno... by Mingtong Li, Jiahao Eric Yang, @suzanneaussems.bsky.social. In short: 60 adults (30 pairs) play an interactive word guessing game. What is special: The clue giver is in situations under postural (in)stability (standing on the ground or on a wobble board)!!

Considering the whole body, including #postural stability affects acoustics of #speech, but not #fluency related measures, see new work in JASA. Thanks for this team effort with Mingtong, Eric & @suzanneaussems.bsky.social. The corpus is #OA on doi.org/10.5281/zeno... pubs.aip.org/asa/jasa/art...

Excited to share our new paper in Child Dev! 🎉 We taught children names for 'monster' toys. Some names matched the sounds they made, some didn't. Children, especially 3-yr-olds, learned matching names more easily. Iconic words support word learning. Read here: track.smtpsendmail.com/9032119/c?p=...

At last week's @primatesocietygb.bsky.social conference it was discussed at length how we need to be supporting the local communities and helping where we can and only a few days later @dranipermana.bsky.social is trying to do just that! Please share or get in touch with her to see how you can help.

Very grateful to the organisers for pulling off such a wonderful three days. We had a great time at #ISGS10 @isgs2025.bsky.social and are already looking forward to ISGS11 in Hong Kong!

Big thanks to the amazing organizers! So happy I got to share my PhD research on how children and adults use iconic gesture speed to figure out verb referents. Spoilers: 3-year-olds picked up only on the fast gestures, but not the slow ones, unlike adults 👋 #LLGAwayDay

Thrilled to see my first publication out in PB&R with @sotarokita.bsky.social and @suzanneaussems.bsky.social! Adults interpret novel verbs using iconic speed cues in speech prosody and hand gesture, with a small but reliable link across modalities. Open access: link.springer.com/10.3758/s134...
