While focused on a visual task, participants were less likely to report hearing negative real words hidden in streams of pseudowords. The pattern remained when the word set expanded and when the visual task became easier.

Negative spoken words may slip past awareness more often than neutral ones, even when people assume the opposite. @PsychScience @PsychScience medicalxpress.com/news/2026-…

Ha! I always think about being pregnant with a question when I tried to learn Spanish. Pregunta = question, hehe

If you're at the @PsychScience (APS) Annual Convention and haven't stopped by the Prolific booth yet, we'd love to hear from you. Head over to booth #5 in the exhibit hall to find out how we can support your behavioral research. #APS26BCN

I had a great time at APS! My theme was how we sometimes say one thing and the listener hears something difference, like how “estoy embarazada” sounds like “embarrassed” to Americans but means “pregnant” to Spanish speakers. 🇪🇸 @PsychScience #APSBarcelona26

If you’re at @Psychscience in Barcelona join us in room 113 for our invited integrative symposium on self consciousness, embodiment and social interactions in humans and artificial agents 😎👇🏼

I enjoyed getting the chance to talk about why people in collectivistic cultures agree LESS with survey items about identifying with relationships. Thanks to the hardworking people at @PsychScience for putting together the conference! 👏 #APSBarcelona26
