Visuospatial working memory load reduces semantic prediction in the visual world. Final version by Christopher Allison & al. with @falkhuettig.bsky.social
doi.org/10.1080/23273798.2025.2522272
Visuospatial working memory load reduces semantic prediction in the visual world
Prediction in language is often about objects in the language users’ visual surroundings. Previous research suggests that linguistic working memory limitations in such task environments constrain l...

It's got a boring title but this preprint is being submitted for Stage 2 consideration at AMPPS, and is in fact very exciting!

Karli Nave led a group of labs that replicated an influential EEG study on auditory beat perception by Nozaradan et al. (2011).

We found:

Learning to read changes the brain’s visual processing, repurposing neural pathways originally used for object and face recognition. 🧠📖 In this #AbralinTalk, @falkhuettig.bsky.social explains how literacy affects cognition.
