Nearly four years ago we asked ourselves, "what would it look like to have a field-leading, completely free reference work for cognitive science"? It's been so fun editing OECS with @asifamajid.bsky.social and @hbaum.bsky.social. I can't believe we have published 200 (!!) articles! oecs.mit.edu

📣 New paper out! We just published “Heritage Grammars and Language Change: the Case of Clitic Doubling in Spanish” in the Heritage Language Journal @degruyterbrill.bsky.social . 👉 doi.org/10.1163/1550... This study asks: Do heritage speakers reflect ongoing processes of language change?

How do memory retrieval and prediction work together during sentence comprehension? We use computational modelling and visual world eye-tracking to unpack their interaction in German pronouns. New article led by Elise Oltrogge, together by João Veríssimo, and Umesh Patil: doi.org/10.1016/j.jm...

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…
