I'm now ready to share a rough DRAFT of the teaching resources list for cognitive psychology I've been compiling. As you'll see, I could use further help from you, esp. where there are no entries yet. Pls take a look & share your favorite resources.🙏 I'll keep updating the list this summer. Thanks!

I didn't know that this post about cats' sleeping positions was based on a new study published in Current Biology: doi.org/10.1016/j.cu... What I loved about this short piece is that it comes w/ this cute animated video abstract. I'd love to see more such fun video abstracts for scientific papers!

I had thought that the McGurk effect is robust, but this paper (tinyurl.com/4yjetwnv) reports HUGE variability across individuals (0 to 100%) & cautions against "relying on summary statistics averaged across a population." I now wonder what other well-known effects may show such variability.🤔

Just tried this… it’s a whole feed of posts and threads about academic papers from your follows! Neat!

It's a summer conference season, so I thought I'd tell you about the tremendous efforts our conservation biology colleagues have been making to make conferences more INCLUSIVE & friendly to early career researchers (ECRs) not fluent in English. I find their accomplishments truly inspiring. 🧵(1/10)

Music is universal. It varies more within than between societies and can be described by a few key dimensions. That’s because brains operate by using the raw materials of music: oscillations (brainwaves). www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #neuroscience

I just finished @maryellenmacdonald.bsky.social's (audio)book today. I really LOVED it! The book argues that talking involves hard work, & regularly meeting this extra cognitive demand has broad impacts on our daily lives (e.g., thinking, attention, learning, aging, mental health, prejudice). (1/2)

It's freakishly hot 🫠, & I've been craving for bingsu, a Korean shaved ice dessert. @yukomunakata.bsky.social introduced me to bingsu (@MandRo Teahouse) when I visited them in May. It was amazing! If you haven't had bingsu, give it a try. Sadly, the closest place serving bingsu is >30 miles away.😢
