Semantic access to ambiguous word roots cannot be stopped by affixation—Not even in sentence contexts: Evidence from eye-tracking and the maze task. https://t.co/4ZlNKB9Q6O @CaitAntal

Our paper on semantic access to ambiguous word roots is finally published in JEP: LMC! We show that both meanings remain activated during reading—even when ruled out by affixation and context. @APA_Journals @RGdA_cogsci

Thrilled to share our paper on the representation of object concepts in the brain! Using a new dichoptic technique with anaglyphs, we probed early effects of left/right-hemisphere visual projections during object and word recognition.

A metaphor is not like a simile: reading-time evidence for distinct interpretations for negated tropes https://t.co/Xzp98GdNH2

In a task involving action-naming with short movies, individuals with probable Alzheimer��s Disease are selectively impaired for verb tense and thematic assignment, but not conceptual-template complexity. https://t.co/UvcFebt7Fj

more on @utafrith 's proposal for #slowscience : can't restrict output, can't restrict grants, but in Canada it seems that @NSERC_CRSNG and other agencies give smaller grants than in the US, more equitably, and to more researchers, proportionally

Agree with @utafrith 's diagnostic, not necessarily with the proposed solutions. She's right we must teach students history of science. But philosophy of science and the theoretical foundations of the field too. It's all a popularity contest now, breeding the #MathewEffect

Amazed & delighted to see so many supportive responses to may radical #slowscience proposals.
Thanks @sjblakemore @behrenstimb @philipcball
Can we get a Working Group together to see how we can do less but better?

I still have a few review copies of the book I edited with Lila Gleitman @gleitperson. If interested in reviewing, please contact me directly. @Psychonomic_Soc @LinguistList @cogsci_soc @WomeninCogSci @FrontiersIn On Concepts, Modules, and Language https://t.co/rXawZuT4CQ
