Curious about the human ability to extract regularities from sensory input (i.e., “statistical learning”) and individual differences therein? #CognitiveScience #Learning

Our #Consensus paper presents the collective insights of 27 researchers worldwide 🌎 💬 🌍 💬 🌏 💬:

For my next academic adventure I’m looking🕵🏼‍♀️ for an apartment in #Munich, ideally near/well-connected to #LMUMunich
Starting October/November this year.

If you know about anything/ have any hints I would appreciate it. Thank you!

Scientific intense weeks come to an end✨
I’ve had the opportunity to share my work, connect with brilliant researchers (also former colleagues☺️) and get inspiring ideas at 3 confs 📆 where I enjoyed outstanding keynotes by Elika Bergelson, Damian Blasi and more!

We're still accepting apps for our research scientist position with LEVANTE (levante-network.org). This position is ideal for folks wanting to be the interface between a cool scientific project and an awesome team of software developers. Think of it as a technical product manager, but for science!
We are seeking a Research Scientist for a large-scale project on developmental data collection with children ages 2-12 called LEVANTE (Learning Variability Network Exchange). LEVANTE is a global research network to improve our understanding of variability in learning and development through coordinated data collection. The project is funded by the Jacobs Foundation; learn more at http://levante-network.org. This position is a mix of scientific work and work with a software development team: we are looking for someone to act as the interface between the scientific goals of the project and our team of ~6 software engineers who work to implement different aspects of our web platform including researcher management, tasks and surveys, and data processing. We expect the role to be ideal for someone with technical experience from their scientific work and an interest in building good tools for other scientists through software development. This position is appropriate for recent PhD grads and candidates with postdoctoral experience; exact title and compensation will be relative to experience post-PhD. The RS will contribute to – and have the opportunity to lead on – research products including papers and presentations. The LEVANTE team is a large and lively group pushing the boundaries of cross-cultural developmental measurement through a combination of technical innovation and psychometrics. The RS will also be part of the Language and Cognition Lab at Stanford, a broad interdisciplinary group interested in using data to understand human development. Requirements for the position include: - some kind of scientific software development experience (examples include developing experiments, computational models, or complex data analyses) - theoretical knowledge of psychology or a related discipline (e.g., cognitive science, neuroscience), ideally doing behavioral measurements of some kind - project management experience on a technical or scientific project with multiple participants Additional optional qualifications include: - experience with modern database-backed web applications - experience with measure development or psychometrics - R data analysis experience Applicants should submit a current CV, a short (~1 page) coverletter stating their qualifications for the position, and a link to a github account (preferred) or other code sample.

Can you use the literature to estimate developmental changes in key cognitive and linguistic abilities?

Spoiler: maybe not!

Remember when you first learned about genetics at school? All those fascinating examples of human traits that are each apparently determined by just a single gene? Time to check in on some of your favourites to see how they’re doing. 🧬🧵🧪 1/n

I know we all have much more important things to worry about right now. But just hopping on to say how fascinating it is that so many fans of the delicious Tony's Chocolonely fail to notice the second "L" in the name until you point it out. It's like a linguistic illusion.

Is there any way to check the instances of the verb “delve (into)” before vs. after chatGPT in non-English speaking countries? I had never it heard before, first saw it in chatGPT outputs, now I see it everywhere. I’ve used it so far to identify AI generated texts😅
