Times I’ve been asked if I’m a Target employee in…

Minneapolis: ~4/year
Philly: ~0/year

Thinking this is a nice example for teaching Poisson regression (conceptually). Count depends on city and whether I’m wearing Phillies gear (though let’s be honest, I’m often wearing Phillies gear)

(Yeah yeah it’s zero-inflated and the variance isn’t equal to the mean but shhhhhh conceptually)

Another new preprint with @juliafstrand.bsky.social and co-authors!

This reanalysis revealed that the effects of noisy speech on previously-presented information were extremely short-lived, which explains why the effect would emerge for digit lists but not longer passages.

Together, this series of experiments provides evidence that although subsequent noise may impair recall of previously-heard information, the effect of effortful listening on recall is transient and does not appear to influence retention of information presented minutes earlier.

New preprint! This is kind of a long one because it's my dissertation work 😊 In this series of six experiments, I develop and validate a novel dual-task paradigm designed to measure the costs associated with processing audiovisual speech in-lab or online.

I hope that in doing this measurement work and making everything publicly available, other researchers can use this paradigm to address other theoretical questions beyond the specific issues I focused on, and without being limited by the necessity to conduct research in person. Yay measurement!

After this, I promise to keep this account mostly (mostly) for science. But the Phillies are going to the playoffs, so it seems appropriate for my first post on this site to be: Go Phils

Ending the week with some violet violent! Is there anything better than relaxing sitting in a dreaming bath with flowers and colors?🌸I like it here so am backing up!🥹🥹🥹
