Briefly surfacing from mat leave to celebrate a new paper with @adamtierney.bsky.social, Fred Dick, and Lori Holt! We found that salient acoustic and linguistic features of task-irrelevant speech distort subjective time. Excited to see this work finally out there! psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/...

📄 New paper out! It’s long been known that listeners reweight acoustic cues in speech when cue reliability changes. Here @adamtierney.bsky.social, Kyle Jasmin, and I show that this can happen instantly after a single exposure to 'accented' speech. tinyurl.com/mwt6usdw @rhulpsychology.bsky.social

Speech perception strategies shift instantly

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...
