"No effect of social priming on speech perception in Norwegian."

My PhD student Elena Varona tried to conceptually replicate explicit and subtle social priming effects on speech perception but she did not find any evidence for it.

Excellent travail de @lemonde.fr au sujet de l'édition scientifique.

I feel extremely grateful to play a small part in creating the experimental methods textbook i wished i’d had in grad school!
Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

Word learning is usually about what a word does refer to. But can toddlers learn from what it doesn’t?

Our new Cognition paper shows 20-month-olds use negative evidence to infer novel word meanings, reshaping theories of language development.
