Suppose Tom loses control of his body, and his bodily motions then cause an accident. Would it be right to say “Tom caused the accident?” A new paper explores the role that language plays in these links between agency and causation! 🔗👇

Arthur has written a wonderful, clear, super helpful introduction to contractualism as a foundation for moral psychology. Perfect for getting up to speed, teaching, a desk reference, or a sunny day at the beach. wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🥳🥳 New paper in @nathumbehav.nature.com: “When development constricts our moral circle." Contrary to popular belief, younger kids may start out with broader moral circles than older ones. Check it out here 👉 rdcu.be/eoaSe w/ @mattiwilks.bsky.social @karrineldner.bsky.social & Lucius Caviola

Excited to share Nigel Flower’s new MEG study on neural Sentence Superiority in parallel visual presentation. This work offers insights into how the brain detects & repairs word order errors, w early detection at ~200ms and repair mechanisms at starting at ~350ms doi.org/10.1523/JNEU...

The spatiotemporal dynamics of bottom-up and top-down processing during at-a-glance reading
Like all domains of cognition, language processing is affected by top-down knowledge. Classic evidence for this is missing blatant errors in the signal. In sentence comprehension, one instance is fail...

I’m so happy this paper is finally published on #bilingualism and #self-evaluations! Couldn’t be more grateful for getting the opportunity to write about some of our ideas on why some of the self-reports we often use in #multilingualism are not as stable as we’d like to believe!
