Was glad to be a part of this paper with @pwdonh.bsky.social @drcharlotte.bsky.social and Denise Klein. A true collaboration!

A huge phenetic tree visualising our global string figure dataset.

I am delighted to share our latest piece of research:

‘A global cross-cultural analysis of string figures reveals evidence of deep transmission and innovation’.

This was long in the works and is by far the largest project I’ve led to date.

I'm excited to release the 𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚢𝚝𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 for #RStats ! Convert R dataframes to beautiful tables in HTML, LaTeX, PDF, Quarto, Markdown, etc. Easy to learn; minimalist interface; concise syntax; ultra-customizable tables; and zero dependency. vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable/

I would like linguists and other researchers who work on “cochlear implanted” children to take a stance to support the learning and using of a natural sign language.

Lately, I have been playing around with this infographic leaflet format for #scicomm. When folded ➡️ at a glance a title, a main message, & contact info/QR. Once the leaflet is unfolded ➡️ full-on #infographic detailing the main ideas of a topic. What do you think? 🧐

My Dept is hiring at asst or associate level, casting a broad net over cognitive/developmental and/or neuroscience. See full description and apply at apply.interfolio.com/132419

Council of Elrond is like a departmental meeting. They all know the only difficult solution but it's not possible to get there right away so they while away hours and hours of discussing non-starter solutions until there's finally some junior faculty who volunteers "I will take ring to Mordor"

Just emailed you two codes! Paying it forward

Similar question from 8 year old who imagined mutually agreed upon meal breaks.

Did you know you can post to these neurofeeds with just emojis:

Neuroskyence: 🧠🟦 or 🧠📈
Compneurosky: 🧠🤖 or 🧠💻
Interoception: 🧠🫀 or 🧠🫁
Neuropsychiatry: 🧠🩺

Save those characters and use an emoji!

On further reflection, the selection of @simine.com as Editor-in-Chief of Psychological Science is one of the most important milestones for the reform movement in psychology.

There will be impact on the journal, sure. But more, selecting a committed, visible reformer illustrates its normalization.

And a little extra treat: We’re also organising a pre-conference on meta-research for ECRs!

resouRces - resouRces: Database of Resources to Learn & Teach R

Sharing this R resources database with y'all! For the past 4 years, I have been accumulating resources (mainly free ones) for new & advanced #Rlearners in their programming journey. Feel free to share!

Calling embed() inspects the dependencies of the specified document then generates and inserts a call to use() that looks something like this: renv::use( "digest@0.6.30", "rlang@0.3.4" ) Then, when you next run your R script or render your .Rmd, use() will: Create a temporary library path. Install the requested packages and their recursive dependencies into that library. Activate the library, so it's used for the rest of the script.

For #rstats users, {renv} now provides similar functionality to {groundhog}. With your script open in RStudio, simply call renv::embed() & a code snippet will be inserted at the top with the script's version-specific dependencies and the code to install them 🧪#stats

How strange! I just added the correct link in the thread. Here’s it I’d also psyarxiv.com/uv3tw/

Figure showing various levels of statistical power when the number of participants, effect size and dropout rate varies.

Here is a brief example on how to do a power analysis for a longitudinal multi-level study when you want to vary the input parameters and easily produce visual output of all variations.

Paper emerged from a great honours thesis written by Rébecca Bisonnette, and evolved in new and exciting ways led by fabulous PhD student and first author Andrea Sander.

Prepreprint! Family language strategies (e.g. one-parent-one-language) don't explain kids' language exposure, but individual parents' approaches (i.e., using a lang. regularly/sometimes/never) do! Mothers' effect on exposure was 2x fathers' --> gendered caregiving roles.

In the paper we discuss one explanation which is that individuals with ADHD orient more to novelty. Could boost word learning/vocabulary size. But for now that’s purely speculative. Love to hear any other ideas!

Individuals with ADHD and bilinguals have each widely been considered vulnerable to vocabulary deficits compared to their peers. However, the interaction of ADHD and bilingualism in affecting vocabula...

New preprint with an exciting and unexpected result!
The ADHD vocabulary size advantage: Monolingual and bilingual young adults with ADHD have larger vocabularies than controls. Co-authored PhD student extrodinaire Melanie Brouillard (seriously, it was all her idea).

The Parents Trying to Pass Down a Language They Hardly Speak Losing your family’s language can feel like an inevitable side effect of immigration—but it’s one I want to prevent.

Great new piece about challenges for parents transmitting heritage languages from Kat Chow @atlantic.bsky.social, where I and other colleagues are quoted!
