Killing 'delve': We analysed 4,800+ student-authored reports across a decade to uncover how ChatGPT is shaping undergrad writing—style, sentiment, and quality. 📉📈 GenAI isn't just a tool. It's a co-author. 📝 #Preprint: www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7...

Looking for a departmental seminar speaker for the coming academic year? Look no further! Am available to give a talk on how GenAI is shaping undergraduate writing — we analysed 4800+ authentic submissions from the last 10 years!

Going to @exppsychsoc.bsky.social meeting next week. Gonna be my first time in Scotland! Will give a talk on my latest work analysing >4000 authentic student-authored reports to shed light on GenAI's influence on linguistic style and quality. Can't wait to share this work with the world!

What initiatives in your department bring people together and encourage collaboration? Looking for fresh ideas to connect people! #AcademicChatter

Adult vs. children in word learning: Our latest study suggests that the effect of prior knowledge and consolidation may differ between adults and children in word learning. Noel Lam tested over 60+ kids! Impressive work.

Tens of thousands of psychological measures have been created, but 79% are not reused more than twice. In a new article in NHB lead by @faridanvari.bsky.social and @ruben.the100.ci we quantify this fragmentation in psychology's measures and propose solutions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

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...

ex-student emailed to say they won full PhD scholarships at Oxford *AND* Cambridge, then thanked me for supervision over the years. #ProudSupervisorMoment

Very happy to share our new preprint revealing no evidence for a targeted memory reactivation (TMR) effect on word-meaning priming (1/8): osf.io/preprints/ps...

Starting 2025 with a (small) grant success. Very excited to start this new project looking at AI and language production in big/naturalistic data! More info to follow. #academia #ECR #lucky

Feeling grateful to have made it through my first full term as an Assistant Professor! Survived student evaluations with a 4.5/5 rating and no negative comments—almost brought me to tears (the good kind).🤩 One of my favourite comments was "Nice guy, relatable" 😂 #proud #academia #UKhigherEd.

Thrilled to join the Experimental Psychology Society (EPS) as a committee member! Looking forward to contributing to EPS's incredible work! (Is EPS not on bsky yet??)

I'm looking to recruit a PhD student (Oct 2025 start) to work on a project looking at the range of cues that guide accurate sentence comprehension. Unfortunately the funding opportunity is just for students who would pay UK fees. If you know any suitable applicants please tell them to email me.

Started a starter pack for psycholinguists, which doesn't seem to exist yet. DM me if you'd like to be added! x go.bsky.app/ntAXDF

Slowly giving up X now and migrating to bluesky! Think will take me ages to build a following! I mostly tweet about psycholinguistics, memory, open science, and occasional Higher Education stuff. 👨‍🎤
