Speech perception strategies shift instantly To perceive speech listeners must decide how to prioritize information from multiple acoustic dimensions. Over the course of language learning, indivi…

πŸ“„ New paper out!

It’s long been known that listeners reweight acoustic cues in speech when cue reliability changes. Here @adamtierney.bsky.social, Kyle Jasmin, and I show that this can happen instantly after a single exposure to 'accented' speech. tinyurl.com/mwt6usdw

Being Too Helpful At Work Can Hurt Your Careerβ€”Here’s How To Say No Women are more likely to take on behind-the-scenes duties at workβ€”extra tasks like onboarding or event planningβ€”and it's hurting their careers. Here's how to say no.

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...
