New paper out in Psych bull & review!
With @glupyan.bsky.social

Thanks Adele! ❤️ Proud to work with Jeroen and Gary. We ask: what can be learned about colors from language—and where in language does it come from? We show certain co-occurrence may help align meanings across minds despite large variation in perceptual experience.
Very cool work by Qiawen (Ella) Liu, Paridon, @glupyan.bsky.social: e.g., Is white hot or cold?
