The first publication of the #ERC project ‘LaDy’ is a fact and it’s an important one I think: We show that word processing and meaning prediction is fundamentally different during social interaction compared to using language individually! 👀 short 🧵/1 psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202... #OpenAccess

Really happy to see this finally published. Hard work together with colleagues @engra.me and @jolienfrancken.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Researchers aim to provide clinicians with information related to discourse collection methods, outcome measures (including psychometric properties), and key factors to consider when providing aphasia clinical services. on.asha.org/445TfnB @mdutta.bsky.social

🗣️ New paper alert! Ever wonder how strangers navigate the messy world of casual conversation? We analyzed 200+ video calls to uncover the hidden structure behind "idle talk" – and found it's way more systematic than you'd think! Thread 👇

🧠 Newly out: Paper-with-a-way-too-long-name-for-social-media! How does the brain turn words into sentences? We tracked words in participants' brains while they produced sentences, and found some unexpectedly neat patterns. 🧵1/9 rdcu.be/epA1J in @commspsychol.nature.com

🚨 New WP! 📄 "Publish or Procreate: The Effect of Motherhood on Research Performance" (w/ @valentinatartari.bsky.social 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 We investigate how parenthood affects scientific productivity and impact — and find that the impact is far from equal for mothers and fathers.

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter: (1) your haters are trash (2) you’re a baller, a true queen (3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️

I wrote a quick tutorial for a student on how to use to R to get Whisper to automatically transcribe your audio. I figured others might find it useful too. #linguistics joeystanley.com/blog/whisper/

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics. At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

🚨 New paper alert! Kasper Van Craeyenest, Bram De keersmaecker, @roberthartsuiker.bsky.social, and I empirically tested whether filled pauses like um and uh serve a communicative function. 🧵👇 🔗 doi.org/10.1080/0163...

Very proud of this latest paper, which shows that reading two unrelated words in a meaningful sentence will push these words closer in semantic space—an effect observed 5min, 20min, and 12 hrs after initial exposure. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Where do disfluencies come from? Our new study (with @roberthartsuiker.bsky.social and @cogsenoussi.bsky.social) uses Drift Diffusion Modelling (DDM) to investigate semantic interference and disfluency in a Picture-Word Interference task.👇👇👇 🔗 doi.org/10.3758/s134...

Word production has typically been studied using two distinct approaches. A Perspective in Nature Reviews Psychology draws from both approaches to discuss how speakers assess whether production is going smoothly, adjust to difficulties and fix errors. https://go.nature.com/40Oc0sS 🔒
