Printed words are slower to recognize when surrounded by other words, especially at short distance. Interference is greater from the right side, where the adjacent word is also simultaneously lexically activated: doi.org/10.1016/j.jm...

Are we witnessing the enshittification of ResearchGate? Started promising and useful, but hasn't really gotten over toddler-stage yet. Won't read pdfs correctly, won't parse metadata from doi correctly, won't identify known authors correctly, won't join endlessly proliferating preprints,... 1/2

My first publication ever, 30 years ago, was in Nature (cognitive research on Mt. Everest is cool!), with serious limitations, severely underpowered and relentlessly p-hacked, edited from several thousand words down to 500. Still, a “not” was removed after proofs had been corrected and approved.

When naming visual sequences, efficiency calls for parallel processing of successive items but this leads to interference that threatens performance. To manage the load, constant monitoring allows dynamic adjustment of parallelism, seen in eye-voice span and articulation. dx.doi.org/10.1037/xlm0...

Skilled readers use information from upcoming words to boost efficiency, but at what cost? We discovered that nearby words interfere with lexical activation of the fixated word, calling for a more nuanced approach to the role of preview in fluent reading. dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jm...
