We're very excited to announce that @CSL_Lab's @FFrinsel is now Dr. @FFrinsel! Congrats! 🥳 Here are the conclusion from her brilliant PhD defense talk "When Mere Exposure is not Enough: The Role of Feedback in Learning Artificial Languages with Fixed and Flexible Word Order" 1/2

But good to excellent reliability can be found using individual sentence types. E.g., instead of contrasting subject and object relative clauses (= difference score), focus on the hard-to-process region(s) of the ORC sentence. The same likely works for other sentence types 2/2

New paper by @CSL_Lab's @FFrinsel and @MH_Christiansen showing that the use of difference scores in self-paced reading has poor internal consistency and test-retest reliability when used to measure individual differences in language processing rdcu.be/dzbwE 1/2

Congrats to @CSL_Lab’s @sereyuwang for passing her A-exam in the @CornellPsychDpt with flying colors. 🥳 Serene is now officially ABD. Stay tuned for updates on her dissertation work!
