New paper from our team on working memory, word learning, and multilingualism!!!

[Ye Li @travelLemon]

Happy to share our new paper @viri_lb, now in press at JEP:LMC. We assessed whether and how working memory and multilingualism predicted CSWL of 1:1 and 2:1 structure in two path models. To read more: https://t.co/xyKv0LF8lI Or access through pre-print: https://t.co/CK68oKI5ds

Our paper @viri_lb is out in BLC. We tested how adults approached statistical word learning from a simulated bilingual environment. Each object was labeled with two words, differentiated by Mandarin Chinese lexical tones (Cued condition) or not (Uncued). https://t.co/8YrUhEPadO

[ASU Learning and Development Lab @ASULearnDev]

Congratulations to our very own Ye Li @travelLemon for this well deserved recognition!

[Psychology at ASU @ASUPsych]

Celebrating PhD student Ye Li’s honorable mention in the @ASUTheCollege Institute for Social Science Research poster contest. 👏

In collaboration with the @ASULearnDev Lab and the PEARL Lab, Li’s novel research explored the “Gleam-Glum” sound symbolic effect.

New paper alert! Special thanks to the Children's Museum of Phoenix @ChildMuse for their partnership and helping us conduct our research.

[Viridiana L. Benitez @viri_lb]

New paper with @travelLemon testing if adults and, for the first time, 4- to 7-year-olds, can learn object names across situations when objects are given two names (like synonyms) compared to when objects are given one name.
