A final #preprint to mark the end of my #postdoc at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @schoolofppls.bsky.social and the start of my #postdoc at @weareceu.bsky.social ! 🎉 doi.org/10.31234/osf... 1/

Big thanks to Joe West for the lovely @schoolofppls.bsky.social interview linked below! 😊

Discover how language, cosmology and art come together in The Language of Time 🌌📖 Created by researchers @naominota.bsky.social and Dr Ben Bose, this graphic novel takes young readers on a journey through space and time—sparking curiosity about science along the way. #STEM #SciComm edin.ac/4wWTVHo

On a #preprint roll! 🎉 doi.org/10.31234/osf... This one has been a long time in the making, with the 1st version dating back to my PhD. Very grateful the team came back together—thanks to @jamestrujillo.bsky.social and @judithholler.bsky.social . Happy to finally share it! 1/🧵

📄🚨New #OSF #preprint! Our visual-world study on L1 and L2 speakers shows that there are distinct prediction stages without cognitive load. Under load, this distinction disappears. We also observe different effects of cognitive load and non-nativeness on prediction. Read more: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

This is probably one of the highest honours I’ve received. This #teaching #nomination from @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social is a wonderful reminder of the amazing students I’ve had the privilege to work with. Here’s to continued reflection & improvement, and the students that make it all worthwhile! 🎉

📄🚨New #OSF #preprint! How does cognitive load affect different stages of language prediction? Using visual-world eye-tracking, we found that the prediction process is disrupted and no longer shows evidence of separable stages, and prediction is delayed. Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Are you an #English native speaker? Please help my student Elia Müller to finish her thesis at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social by participating in her online #study (link: edinburgh.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...)! 🧠🔍

Happy to share the new #logo I created for #UKSC #Slackline! www.ukslacklineclub.com The UK Slackline Club held a logo competition last year, and ended up choosing my design. This is the end result (without text) 🎉

🚨New #OSF #preprint alert! We test how 5 researcher choices affect divergence point analyses with bootstrapping in visual-world eye-tracking. Bin size and significance-window length matter most, and there's a consistent overestimation bias. See also osf.io/preprints/ps... for some recommendations.
