New R library STM bsky.app/profile/hlplab.bsky… by Santiago Barreda implementing incremental vowel normalization & categorization (Nearey & Assmann's PSTM). New paper that describes & uses that STM to model vowel perception bsky.app/profile/hlplab.bsky…

The OSF repo also contains a vignette for the R library, as well as a walk-through of the bootstrap analyses we applied. Hopefully this will make it easy for others to apply this model to their own data! osf.io/tpwmv/. Feedback welcome.

(P)STM infers vowel & talker-specific normalization parameters from single observations, predicting listeners' perception far better than other common normalization models (incl. Lobanov or C-CuRE).

Very excited about this: putting distributional learning (DL) models of adaptive speech perception to a strong, informative test sciencedirect.com/science/ar… by Maryann Tan. We use Bayesian ideal observers & adapters to assess whether DL predicts rapid changes in speech perception 1/2

DL captures human speech perception both *qualitatively* & *quantitatively* (R2>96%) for over 400 combinations of exposure and test items. Yet, previous DL models fail to capture important limitations. Specifically, we find that DL seems to proceed by remixing prev experience 2/2

🚨Exciting news! We now have the first-ever complete #EEGManyLabs replication. This large-scale multi-site study revisits a key debate in EEG & reinforcement learning. A thread! 🧵👇

More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24… @PNASNews -> nature.com/articles/d41586-0… #ScienceCareer

For how long is information about past speech input available in short-term memory? What evidence would inform this question? What does (not) follow from previous work on this question? Delighted to see this work by @klintonbicknell @_wbushong_ in JML sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Feedback welcome! & see @_wbushong_ 's thesis for more on this topic, and her very cool computational simulations--presenting a new effort to better understand what can be inferred from the types of data collected in studies on subcat infomaintenance during speech perception. /n

But Bayesian mixed-effect analyses also identify a previously undocumented tendency in all 4 datasets--unexpected under all existing accounts. We present initial simulations that suggests that a combination of attentional lapses & ideal integration might explain the data. /3

We show existing evidence is compatible with ideal maintenance & integration of uncertainty, and derive a stronger test of that hypothesis. 2 re-analysis & 2 new experiments find that the ideal observer's predictions fit listeners' behavior better than previous proposals /2

We revisit the classic work by Connine and colleagues, and show why its results are often misinterpreted. Using an ideal observer framework, we derive what would be expected if listeners maintained and integrated subcategorical information beyond word boundaries. /1

A new study from co-author Chigusa Kurumada reveals that difficulties in adapting to changes in speech patterns may affect how adolescents with autism understand tone and meaning.

Verbal communication isn’t just about words—it’s also about how we say them
Teens with autism can have a difficult time understanding changes in tone and timing in speech
A new study from Rochester neuroscientists reveals why
