@rolfzwaan.bsky.social is organizing a multilab replication of Loftus & Palmer's (1974) classic study: People's memory of two cars' speed was influenced by the verb used in Q ("How fast were the cars moving when they ____"). This is exciting, & if you want to take part in it, check out Rolf's post.
![The first page of the Psychonomic Bulletin & Review article on the McGurk effect, entitled "Variability and stability in the McGurk effect: Contributions of participants, stimuli, and response type," by Basu Mallick, Magnotti, & Beauchamp.
Some parts of the abstract are highlighted, and here are the highlighted texts:
"We observed dramatic differences both in how frequently different individuals perceived the illusion (from 0% to 100%) and in how frequently the illusion was perceived across different stimuli (17% to 58%)."
"there is little change in the frequency of the effect between initial testing and a one-year retest ([...]; test-retest correlation, r = 0.91)."
"Our results highlight the importance of examining individual differences in McGurk perception instead of relying on summary statistics averaged across a population."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lcqxattqzuhykdeb3skz42d2/bafkreia3v7gnzqzlt32yk3whs3cp5nonsdgfy2awyijabgfhzmg3s7d7qq)
