I saw a thing on PsyArxiv and did a drive-by peer review. Warning: snark detected https://ideophone.org/on-ai-generated-norms-and-anglocentrism-a-peer-review/ #GenAI #psycholinguistics

Hello #psycholinguists on Mastodon! I'm currently doing a review on idiosyncrasies in phoneme perception, where it comes from, how it develops through childhood, how we can study it... If you have references or any idea on the topic, I'm more than interested! @psycholinguistics #psycholinguistics #phoneme #perception

(Boosts welcome)
Hey, #English speakers, any variety -- from #Scotland or #Canada or #America or #NewZealand or #Australia or #SouthAfrica or #Ireland or the #UK or any other place where you might live --

I'm still looking for participants for an experiment language processing. About 20-25 minutes, with a variety of tasks to measure memory, sound detection, comprehension and prediction.

Please help the advance of #science! And #linguistics and #psycholinguistics.

Do you want to do an experiment about language processing? It takes about 20-25 minutes, and there are a variety of tasks to measure memory and sound detection and comprehension and prediction.

Time perception in humans seems to be locked to language processing

(10/12)

If you are talking to someone, there is no perceived time between the perception of the act that originates the stimulus (visual presentation of a sentence, or articulatory activity of a speaker) and the comprehension of the content conveyed by the physical stimulus.

However, we do not perceive the passing of time at all when we do processing language. When we process language, we experience it automatically.

It thus follows that sound and light perception take time, and that whatever time this takes, it is less than the time it takes to extract meaning out of sound and light.

The above is true for meaningless sounds. In the case of meaningful stimuli, it is also obvious that content extraction from the stimulus must necessarily take more time than the time needed to process meaningless sensory stimulation.

We know that it actually takes time from sound and light to travel from its source to our sense organs, and that it takes more time for us to transform these vibrations into electrical activity that results in sound/visual perception.

However, notice that when it comes to meaningful linguistic stimulation, be it by means of acoustic or visual means, we do not experience additional time in the extraction of content from the input. Let me break this down:

Senses seem to be immediate though. If something makes a sound, I do not perceive the passing of time between the source of the sound and its perception. Same with vision, smell, touch and taste.

If I think, I also think across time. If I eat, or if I meditate… these are all activities that allow the perception of the passing of time.

In the case of humans, time (or its passing) seem to be noticeable in most phenomena. If I move, for example, I notice how time passes as/while I move.

I have been thinking about this for a while. We now know that time is in reality something probably very different to our perception of time. Each animal with cognition has developed some cognitive mechanism to perceive time, but they have all developed different perceptions of time.

Grading final #psycholinguistics projects. To be honest, I've not yet not had to tap the sign.

New in our electronic #collection and available #OpenAccess thanks to the @universityofgroningen OA Book Fund:

Mutual Intelligibility between Closely Related #Languages

https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/94343/1/9783111134697.pdf

A comprehensive study of how closely related languages understand each other, exploring measurement, challenges, and practical implications across linguistic, cultural, and policy domains.

Finally sat down and worked out an extremely gnarly Latin square experimental design, in which I had to cross three stimTypes by three Tasks by three conditions, except one of the stimTypes only has two of the three conditions.

Look! She is beautiful!

Our new #OpenAccess paper is out in Scientific Reports today! My coauthors and I jokingly called it "the masterpiece" because it wraps up a research line I began during my PhD ... 10 years ago! Here's a quick thread on the backstory and what we found. [1/X]
