Do you know those moments when you’re reading something and suddenly realize that you have zoned out, eyes have moved on autopilot? Our meta-analysis examined whether those moments can be detected from readers’ eye movements. The answer is: perhaps.

🚨 New preprint!
With @lehtorituomo.bsky.social, Matti Laine, & @pennypexman.bsky.social
🔍 We analyzed data from two eye-tracking studies to explore individual differences in how #children process and comprehend written #irony. We showed that empathy and working memory mattered — gender didn't.

We show that metapragmatic knowledge plays a crucial role in development of irony comprehension, and it can be effectively trained.

Prof. Wartiovaaralta painava sanoma uudesta "pikatohtori"-ohjelmasta. Olen samaa mieltä ja olen ohjelmasta huolissani. Tohtorikoulutusta ei ole varaa heikentää, vaikka parannettavaa löytyy. Ja kuten artikkelissakin sanotaan, kuka haluaa olla B-luokan tohtori?
