A (psycho)linguist in a strange land, trying to make meaning out of whether and how we make meaning

@ProfJoelPearson What is the vividness variance in those with and without aphantasia and how to better measure it. The relationship between aphantasia and its auditory parallel. And how aphantasia affects detail in memory.

@garicgymro yes, I am playing the 30s edition, though. Also, I wasn't playing wordle, but now I am intrigued.

@jkdempc I am very attached to my convoluted and inefficient ways of getting things done (with emphasis on the done), thank you very much.

@jkdempc Catholicism, if you repent. but don't fall for it, that's how they get ya.

@glupyan A difference I care a lot about and would like to further research is visual vividness and its relation to other cognitive tasks. But another one is that words don't have identical definitions for different people, and it's very hard to catch.

[Maria Goldshtein @BeefGallo]

@matthras @glupyan Interestingly, it's not that hard to recognize people you know without being able to recognize their faces. I've noticed that I can recognize people I know from far away by their shape and walk, while not being able to recognize their face if they shave their beard for example

@tallinzen They have a bit of a more negative valence, but 'ill-favored', or 'undesirable' are options.

I feel like dispreferred can either mean - unwanted/undesirable or less-preferred, which aren't exactly the same. But if you are thinking of the first meaning - the options above work.
