@KDrakoulaki Ναι, θα έλεγα κάτι σαν προβλεπτική επεξεργασία/διεργασία και ενεργητικός συμπερασμός. Όταν είχα κάνει μια παρουσίαση στα ελληνικά για την ανάγνωση είχα μεταφράσει το prediction theories θεωρίες γλωσσικής πρόβλεψης.

📣 Open registrations for #iWORDD23! 📣

#BCBL will organise an international workshop on reading and developmental #dyslexia between June 7th and 9th for the research community in this field.

You cannot miss it! 👇

I had a blast at our poster with @EffieKapnoula at #psynom22 special thanks to @angeliki_altani for making me look so cute in this pic

[Efthymia Kapnoula @EffieKapnoula]

Second, we have a poster with @LitsaCheimariou @UofAlabama suggesting that any differences in how older adults deal with lexical competition are outside the mental lexicon.
Litsa will be presenting this work on-site on Sat 6:00-7:00PM!

Are you an aspiring or practicing neuroscientist who wants to learn Python for free? Dr. Mark Kramer and colleagues @BU_Tweets developed a great intro virtual book that uses Jupyter Notebooks with neuro data included. A🧵 of the topics included: @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter

[crepaldiLab @CrepaldiLab]

Registration is now open for #tex2022!

After our on-line meeting last year, this summer we want to welcome you in person in Trieste. Morning lectures by the invited speakers and afternoon talks by attendees. Plus plenty of time for discussion.

🗣️Does repeating a novel word out loud help to learn it better?

*New paper* with Arty Samuel takes a stab at reconciling the seemingly contradictory effects of production on word learning👇

As someone interested in statistical analyses of EEG data & the history of the field, I think an important (and under-appreciated) researcher is Dr. Mary Brazier (1904-1995) who did both pioneering experiments & analyses, and rigorously documented the history of the field.

[Efthymia Kapnoula @EffieKapnoula]

What does it mean to learn a new word?

The answer may depend on whether we study L1 or L2 learning, or on whether we use real or made-up words.

Despite the differences, common patterns do emerge - pointing to fundamental #wordlearning mechanisms.

Excited to share new work out with Brothers, @LivHoversten, Traxler, @SwaabTamara! We find ERP evidence that semantic prediction and domain-general processing are supported by separable mechanisms - in both young and older adults. 🧠

[Jakub Szewczyk @jkbszwczk]

Happy to share a new preprint (with @CABlabUIUC)! Across five datasets (n=138) we show (and replicate) that N400 amplitude is sensitive to word (log)probability even in incongruent words (with word predictability estimated by a language model - GPT-2). https://t.co/gDVpgy9yJy
