Doing #bilingualism or #multilingualism research and wondering which lang background measure to use?
We examined if #language solidarity biased self-evaluation accuracy. doi.org/nrvz
Bottom line: %use self-evals were less biased than value-laden (how good am I?) self-evals.
%use wins, to us!

Couldn’t be more grateful for getting the opportunity to write about some of our ideas on why some of the self-reports we often use in #multilingualism are not as stable as we’d like to believe!

Suppose Tom loses control of his body, and his bodily motions then cause an accident. Would it be right to say “Tom caused the accident?”
A new paper explores the role that language plays in these links between agency and causation!

Women are seen as more moral, research by @jowylie.bsky.social et al finds—people mentally picture “a morally good person” as a woman, tend to ascribe morally good traits more to women than to men, and stereotype behaviours associated with moral goodness as feminine:

🥳🥳 New paper in @nathumbehav.nature.com: “When development constricts our moral circle." Contrary to popular belief, younger kids may start out with broader moral circles than older ones. Check it out here 👉 rdcu.be/eoaSe

When development constricts our moral circle
Nature Human Behaviour - Although many believe our moral circles expand with age, this Perspective discusses an early-emerging tendency to care for others.

Excited to share Nigel Flower’s new MEG study on neural Sentence Superiority in parallel visual presentation. This work offers insights into how the brain detects & repairs word order errors, w early detection at ~200ms and repair mechanisms at starting at ~350ms doi.org/10.1523/JNEU...
The spatiotemporal dynamics of bottom-up and top-down processing during at-a-glance reading
Like all domains of cognition, language processing is affected by top-down knowledge. Classic evidence for this is missing blatant errors in the signal. In sentence comprehension, one instance is fail...
