Come see my student, Jake Boudreau, present our work at #psynom25 on why the term “native speaker” deserves more scrutiny. We show how aging and social networks affect sentence processing.

14 years ago today, I took the TOEFL exam in Istanbul to apply for grad school in Canada. I spoke French throughout my teens and had a degree in French–Turkish interpreting. I knew very little English and barely passed TOEFL.

While the first year of life is crucial for language development, our team found that sound categorization continues to develop throughout the early school years.

Huge thanks to @psychopy.org and especially @hirstrj.bsky.social ! After spending thousands on other tools with little support, Dr. Hirst solved all my technical problems within days. If you are using behavioral, eyetracking, and EEG systems in your lab, I recommend checking out PsychoPy.

Life goals (not the first inspired by @emilymyers.bsky.social).
Just did a calculation of our lab's time from project conception to publication (e-pub) over the past x years. We're averaging 3.5 years from the first idea to acceptance. About 6-9 months of this is review time. Don't know how typical this is but good reality check esp. for trainees.

I am thrilled to share our new paper which investigates the role of continuous measures in linguistic diversity research. We found that children who are exposed to more linguistic diversity (e.g., language, dialect, accent) are perceptually more flexible. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
