it's wild that R, the ubiquitous statistical computing language, was co-created by a Māori prof (Ross Ihaka) — and yet the vast majority of scientists who use R don't know
this is like inventing the toaster. possibly the largest impact of a single member of an indigenous community on modern science

We are currently conducting interviews with jsPsych users to help us shape long-term project goals. We are interested in speaking with folks with all levels of comfort with jsPsych. The interviews are happening over the next four weeks. Each session is 20-30 minutes. We are paying participants $20.

New preprint by the phenomenal @ebruevcen.bsky.social with @drbarner.bsky.social revealing that people interpret conditionals pragmatically, initially treating them as biconditionals! So excited to see where this work goes next, especially for children’s acquisition of conditionals!
This new project by the 🎉fantastic🎉 @ebruevcen.bsky.social shows in 4 studies that people’s first understanding of conditionals is pragmatic - using RT data, then with a cognitive load task. This is contrary to what’s found for other pragmatic inferences w/ interesting implications for acquisition.
New preprint w @drbarner.bsky.social! When you hear, "If you mow the lawn, you’ll get $5," do you immediately think, "No $5 if I don't?" Turns out, that's no coincidence - we show that people start with pragmatic interpretations of conditionals, considering literal ones when necessary.

Another paper w/ @urvi.bsky.social, showing that Hindi kids learn yesterday/tomorrow earlier than English kids, despite Hindi expressing these with just one word 'kal'. We argue this is evidence for the priority of tense information (over associations with events). osf.io/preprints/os...

Happy to share this paper led by the fabulous @urvi.bsky.social. Turns out that children's struggle to understand temporal language may be partly because the things we refer to in tests of knowledge are not actually in the past or future & rely on hypothetical reasoning about imaginary timelines.
New preprint w @drbarner.bsky.social!TL;DR: even 3yos comprehend yesterday & tomorrow when tested on consecutive days, 1-2 years earlier than in other studies! BUT still struggle w hypothetical events. Tasks in which time actually passes maybe more sensitive to early time concepts! osf.io/gs3r4/

New preprint with Rose Schneider & @drbarner.bsky.social on children's learning of number concepts! osf.io/preprints/ps... TL;DR: Learning to count large sets may be necessary, but not enough for understanding that numbers represent exact quantities 🧠🔢 (1/4)
