So happy to see this finally in press #OpenAccess : psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202… with @ek_kearney @JArciuli @Prof_KatieMcM @GuentherLab Phonological features predict words' sensory experience ratings + predict more variance in lexical and semantic decision tasks than those ratings

We’re recruiting a new PhD student (full scholarship, tuition fee waiver) for our project investigating systematic form meaning mappings in natural language using fMRI and MEG. Candidates should have a masters degree with relevant training and experience.

Pleased to see this paper out in Cortex with @JArciuli @ValTolkacheva. Using fMRI, we show non-arbitrary sublexical mappings between concrete/abstract meanings in words and nonwords activate the semantic network similarly. doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.202…

Very happy to see this paper in press: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… We show that English words' concreteness ratings are strongly related to their surface form features. @ek_kearney @JArciuli @GuentherLab @Prof_KatieMcM with special thanks to @jamiereillycog.bsky.social

Applicants will have a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in a relevant area, such as experimental psychology, psycholinguistics, or cognitive neuroscience. Experience with data analysis and programming in R and/or MATLAB is essential. Experience with fMRI would be a plus.

Est-ce normal d’oublier des mots quand on parle ? Quand doit-on s’inquiéter ?

Est-ce normal d’oublier des mots quand on parle  ? Quand doit-on s’inquiéter  ?

Nous avons tous déjà oublié le mot dont nous avions besoin au milieu d’une phrase, et nous connaissons la sensation de l’avoir sur le bout de la langue. Mais quand est-ce que l’on doit s’inquiéter ?

Is it normal to forget words while speaking? And when can it spell a problem?

We’ve all forgotten the word we need mid-sentence, and know the feeling of it being just on the tip of our tongue. But when can this be more serious?

Why, omg, why are there now fMRI studies of overt speech production using continuous multiband acquisitions but no validation studies re best practice for dealing with speech artefacts when using them?
