Looking forward to seeing everyone at #CogSci2025 this week! Come check out what we’ve been working on in the LInC Lab, along with our fantastic collaborators!

Paper 🔗 in 🧵👇

We found that there were common scene compositions that accompanied naming events, parent naming followed a Zipfian distribution, and the cross-situational statistics were comparable to lab experiments. See our paper for more details!

New paper w/ @ryskin.bsky.social and Chen Yu: We analyzed parent-child toy play and found that cross-situational learning statistics were present in naturalistic settings!

I'll be presenting some work with @tylermarghetis.bsky.social and Elizabeth Geballe at #CES2024 on translation as transmission. Stop by if you'd like to chat about digital humanities and cross-cultural transmission!

I’ll be presenting work I did with @ryskin.bsky.social in the CMCL workshop at #ACL2024 (8/15 at 14:20 in Lotus Suite 4). Come check it out, and please find me if you’d like to discuss!

The preprint includes an OSF link to behavioral norms from relatedness judgments for words that have and have not changed over time, collected from two age groups (18-33 y.o. and 63-92 y.o.)!

Excited to share a new preprint with @ryskin.bsky.social: Individuals continually update their meaning representations to match those of the current time period, regardless of their age!
