Opinion Paper out at @TrendsCognSci
Everything I think I know about word meanings. Particular focus on words that are unfamiliar or ambiguous
sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
A (somewhat self-indulgent) preprint summarising what I think connectionism/LLMs can tell psychologists about what word meanings might be. I'd really appreciate feedback and comments.

My review & meta-analysis of visual world studies on phonological prediction is now out in JML😊
I found a small, short-lived but reliable effect & an interesting timing re when phonology is activated.
+ some methodological implications for VWP studies!

We compared the vocabulary in 32 GCSE English Lit books to 200 samples of 32 books popular with British teenagers. We argue that the GCSE books will stretch avid readers with strong reading skills; these books may be inaccessible to pupils with poorer reading skills.
Why do students find GCSE English lit difficult? A new study from @RoyalHolloway researchers @Kathy_Rastle and Maria Korochkina reveals the vocabulary barrier presented by GCSE texts
