Extremely positive news about my #MSCA application. Can't wait to start my project FlexyRhythm at @bcbl.bsky.social with @nicolaml.bsky.social (and secondment at @dondersinst.bsky.social with @vipiai.bsky.social). So happy to have the chance to work with such wonderful people!
Last lab pic taken a couple of days ago. Soon many of us will be gradually leaving for new destinations. After 3 years as a PhD student and 5 as a postdoc, I have now left the Department of Developmental Psychology and Socialization at the University of Padova and will soon begin a new adventure...

Thank you! Glad it was of interest, hopefully also across subfields, and hope it may spark new ideas to investigate 😊

Happy to have been selected among the winners of the @gorillapsych.bsky.social Language & Linguistics Research Grant! I will implement an online study on predictive speech comprehension/production and adverse listening conditions in deaf people with cochlear implant 🦻🗣️

Next week I'll talk @Psicostat about our recent experience in publishing a commentary as early career researchers. Aim: foster a collective discussion on how best to approach this by ensuring fair albeit solid criticism of published science

Further analyses revealed that the Category alignment effect emerged primarily in a subset of stimuli and in specific semantic categories, highlighting the limited generalizability of the effect originally reported.

The commentary shows that aligning in the Category condition is associated with longer RTs and greater variability compared to using basic labels in the Basic condition, suggesting an effortful and strategic rather than an automatic mechanism.

In the original paper, the authors provide evidence for automatic conceptual alignment, i.e., early alignment of participants’ behavior with the naming choices of the robot (using category labels instead of basic ones in the Category condition).

The paper provides theoretical and methodological contributions to the study of linguistic alignment in a joint picture naming with a social robot, by analyzing response times of an openly available dataset (Cirillo et al., 2022).

This commentary provides: 1) complementary multiverse analyses improving data interpretation, 2) practical suggestions for future experiments, 3) reflections on the importance of Open Science practices, especially for early career researchers.

The symposium will bring together early career researchers to discuss how external (others') and internal (one's own) body signals may modulate speech and auditory processing, trying to foster an integrated perspective.

🚨📝New preprint‼️
In this fMRI study (N=37) we compare the production and comprehension of words, and observe that the same phoneme-specific sensorimotor networks are activated when speaking and listening to language!

Congruent brain signatures specific to phonology in fronto-temporal cortex during language production and understanding.
In this fMRI study we investigated whether language production and understanding recruit the same phoneme-specific networks. We did so by comparing the brain responses to different phoneme categories ...
