Many more people need to know this. First decide if you think the grant deserves to be funded. If the answer is YES, write only extremely positive things. If NO, give comments that will help them make it better next time

All in all, our results support feature distortion + grammaticality bias accounts, oppose inhibitory similarity-based interference, and suggest that at least for some online processing effects, task plays a much more important role than we used to think.

Changing the expected task radically changed the effects in reading times. But why? Christopher Hammerly proposed that grammaticality judgement task implies that some sentences will be ungrammatical, which shifts participants' grammaticality bias and allows attraction effect to surface

Turns out, all previous studies used comprehension questions, while our participants expected to judge sentence grammaticality. In a follow-up experiment, we changed the expected task to questions, and found no trace of agreement attraction.

Paper alert!📢 Titus von der Malsburg and I looked hard into agreement attraction configurations in grammatical sentences, and, against all probability, found stable attraction effects in 3 experiments: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S.... Why did we find the effects when 30 other studies failed to?

Summary of a meta-analysis with the resulting effect estimate centered on 0.

I've just debugged a function that solves a problem I know nothing about in under 15 minutes. Man, that feels good! Being of use to other people is something I miss when doing science.
