Adult vs. children in word learning: Our latest study suggests that the effect of prior knowledge and consolidation may differ between adults and children in word learning. Noel Lam tested over 60+ kids! Impressive work.

Tens of thousands of psychological measures have been created, but 79% are not reused more than twice.
In a new article in NHB lead by @faridanvari.bsky.social and @ruben.the100.ci we quantify this fragmentation in psychology's measures and propose solutions.

Great question! In priming, seeing X-Y makes processing X-Y easier next time. But in our final experiment, after reading X-Y, participants judged X in the absence of Yβyet X and Y became closer in the participant's mind . So I would say this goes beyond priming, although definitely related.

Thank you Jamie. As a fellow word nerd, I think Exp 5 will be of particular interest to you. We used Walsh and Rissman's (2023) innovative measure to index relatedness between two words *without* showing to participants the two words together.

Results suggest involvement of episodic memory in language comprehension and highlight the flexibility of the mental lexicon. Results also provide a simple mechanism to how the lexicon acquires its associative structure.

Yes, I was about to mention Kate's lexical legacy, which basically argues that experiencing words in more diverse contexts may enrich lexical quality. Empirical evidence is mixed, although there are huge methodological differences.
