Four years post-doc fellowship on multimodal and social interaction https://t.co/Y4OqWiRm6r

In face-to-face interaction people can learn incidentally new concepts talking to more expert people. Using data from ECOLANG, we show that both verbal dimensions and multimodal behaviours support learning in dyadic interaction #CogSci2024

We document caregivers’ multimodal language (n= 72, children: 2-4 years) in semi naturalistic interaction. We show how multimodal language differ when talking about objects that are present vs absent. Multimodal iconicity is more common for absent objects. @ESRC @ERC_Research

Ever wondered about sign language and gesture? Is co-sign gesture parallel to co-speech gesture? A new paper about by @sotarokita and me is now out!

Skilled deaf and hearing readers weigh sources of information differently - deaf readers show larger semantically-mediated effects and altered responses to low-level visual variables during word recognition. New study w/ Kurt Winsler now officially out! https://t.co/uVjJT8wAxv

Just meet a MSc student who brought her 1.5 year daughter to the meeting; as a foreigner & a mom, she had no choice; she took her son to classes during her UG study. She likes children so takes a child language acquisition project w me. I have so much admiration to the student.
