I wonder if this might indicate that older adults rely more on the visual aspects of speech than younger people?

Studying the McGurk Effect can help clinicians measure how much of an individual's auditory perception is shaped by visual influence. However, studies on this effect in aging adults have proven inconclusive. Learn more in this review! https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2025_JSLHR-25-00026

I have to know…. Has anyone ever actually wanted “sticky keys” turned on? And why?

In preparation for the imminent publication of the new edition of my R textbook, the updated interactive tutorials are now available on CRAN. I did a massive re-write last summer, road tested them in my teaching last term, and I’m pretty happy with them. For now. cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

Thanks for the nominations and kind words
