New preprint with @ReadOxford and @vmurphyox! We tested a semantic fluency task for author names (an "Author Fluency Task" or AFT) and found it out-performed an Author Recognition Test (ART) as predictor of L2 formulaic language. doi.org/10.31219/osf.i…

Our joint project Narratives of War received the Nevitt Sanford Award for Outstanding Professional Contributions to Political Psychology @PolPsyISPP! NoW collects first-hand accounts of the ongoing warfare in Ukraine. View the virtual exhibit: now.omeka.net
