Very proud of this latest paper, which shows that reading two unrelated words in a meaningful sentence will push these words closer in semantic space—an effect observed 5min, 20min, and 12 hrs after initial exposure.

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.

Experimental psychology friends! How do you handle critiques of your cross-sectional aging study during a job talk with suggestions to use longitudinal methods? Both have strengths & weaknesses (any suggested articles?). Comparing their similarities feels more useful than ranking one over the other.

I've been talking to UG students a lot about essay writing this week. Interested to know what others make of my advice to them:
Pretty much every good psychology essay includes a balance of theory and evidence. Sometimes it helps to reframe the question to make it clear that both are relevant.
