Proudly published with @andreaeyleen.bsky.social: A metatheory of classical and modern connectionism. doi.org/10.1037/rev0... We touch on what has been up with connectionism as a framework for computational modelling — & for everything it seems these days with AI and LLMs — pre-2010 vs post. 1/n

‼️ new preprint out with @andreaeyleen.bsky.social on connectionism: the framework that uses artificial neural networks to model human cognition: we split it into Modern and Classical (see figure) to show how the (meta)theoretical commitments (see table) changed after 2010. doi.org/10.31234/osf...

If you analyse time-resolved data (M/EEG, iEEG, pupillometry, force recordings…) and feel limited by cluster-based permutation tests (CBPTs); especially when trying to determine when an effect starts or ends; you may want to try our new R package: lnalborczyk.github.io/neurogam/ #rstats #brms #EEG

Modelling time-resolved electrophysiological data with Bayesian generalised additive multilevel models

Providing utility functions for fitting Bayesian generalised additive multilevel models (BGAMMs) to time-resolved data (e.g., M/EEG, pupillometry, mouse-tracking, etc) and identifying clusters.

📢 NEW PAPER OUT! We show that the masked frequency attenuation effect is real, but its magnitude is insensitive to prime duration. This strongly supports a two-stage model of word recognition. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #Psycholinguistics #CognitiveScience #WordRecognition #NYU #NYUAD

Stages in lexical decision: frequency attenuation in masked repetition priming is insensitive to prime duration

This study investigates the controversial Frequency Attenuation Effect (FAE), examining whether masked repetition priming is sensitive to word frequency. Early findings suggesting no interaction ha...

If you use divergence point analysis code from Stone et al. 2020 or 2021, note that we made a code revision recently, detailed in the Analysis folder: osf.io/exbmk/ Shouldn't majorly affect previous analyses, but the revised version should be used going forward.

SAVE THE DATE! Join us in Lisbon next year for the International Word Processing Conference (6–8 July 2026)! WoProc continues the legacy of MoProc―a conference that, since 1999, has brought together researchers working on morphological processing. www.woproc2026.com

New paper with Chao Zhou in BLC: doi.org/10.1017/S1366728925100114 What makes lexical tones challenging for L2 learners? Previous studies suggest that phonological universals are at play... In our perceptual study, we found little evidence for these universals.

New preprint! (w/ @sollago.bsky.social ) We tackle a key challenge in the analysis of visual world data: when do experimental effects first emerge?

A novel method for detecting the onset of experimental effects in visual world eye-tracking

Determining the onset of experimental effects in timeseries data is important in psycholinguistics, because it allows for a more precise evaluation of accounts of the timecourse of different types of…
