Everyone moving from twitter to mastodon is very likely to fail because it is a collective action problem, benefits depend on others actions. Here's how it can succeed. It will require your commitment for 1 month to do a few things. Read and retweet if you commit to do them.

@JeffSpies @ProfAnneLaura The journals I’ve edited for don’t pay for reviewer names that I know of. But once you’re in their database you’re in forever…

@ProfAnneLaura @PurdueSPACELab Yeah, 12 doesn’t seem like a whole lot. I assume the paper is in the journal’s content area. And I assume they pay for databases of reviewers. Maybe ask if you (or perhaps a 3rd party) can put out an invite on social media for reviewers in the topic area to contact the editor?

@DrBKelleher Fantastic news, congratulations!

Doing research involving speech perception and acoustics? This new paper by me and @lingprof reconsidered some commonly used stimuli to show how they can be misinterpreted, misused, and lead to unreliable conclusions. open-access paper⬇️ asa.scitation.org/doi/full/10.11…

REVIEW To fully understand the effects of an added #noise on #speech #perception, researchers must consider not just how much the noise affects task difficulty, but also how it affects all of the systems involved in understanding speech. doi.org/10.1121/10.001… @PurdueSPACELab

This thread should be a goldmine for those interested in research ethics.

@yael_niv @metallicbranch @PeretzLange Great example for this discussion! I guarantee different IRBs will rule exactly opposite on this. And not just on mental health. We (not medically trained) do ECGs, have seen obvious arrhythmias. Also clear hearing loss. Have gotten diff rulings at diff times on inform or not.

@metallicbranch @PeretzLange Imagine taking a study, and being told you have a lifelong illness that you didn't know about! Mental health issues are on a continuum and considered an illness first and foremost if you feel there's a problem. If you feel ok, it's no one's business to tell u you have depression.

Please share stories of controversial IRB protocols/decisions! My students will be doing a “be the IRB” roleplay this week and I want to give them some tricky scenarios to chew on!

Mentally repairing missing pieces of speech makes listening effortful. Super important for people who have hearing difficulty –including people who use cochlear implants. We need to resist the temptation to think good clinical %correct = easy listening. 🌟Open-access paper here⬇️

@kbmcgowan Not sure how far I would take the “don’t care about” part, but there are many issues in speech research that are essentially physiological and/or acoustic and I can imagine a phonetician working quite productively for years w/out any need to consider sociolinguistics.

An excellent paper. I agree very strongly that the field needs more *good* theories, and that qualitative data and verbal/narrative theorizing are important for that. But I think far too little useful data gets published, hence data-focused work & open data remain essential.

Really impressed by @MyrtheVeenman 's tutorial on Bayesian multilevel models (psyarxiv.com/pskvx/). I might have some comments later on, but it's not a mandatory reading for my multilevel modeling course!

Davis is such a great college town. This is a fantastic opportunity.

@jpeelle @deevybee Maybe something more comprehensive than just fluency? MOCA?

@JamieReilly_cog @jpeelle We’ve been getting some interesting pauses in this part of the MOCA (words w/ F) with ages 65+. Folks are going fine, hit words in the relevant phon neighborhood, then … pause. Some never recover. Others don’t even pause, cruise right thru. With a chuckle.

@BethMGilleie @AcademicChatter @CouragePhD I love working with students, I love doing research on topics that interest me, and being able to work on them even when they don’t pay off immediately. I love the security to be able to tell my boss that their plans for doing something are wrong without fear of losing my job.

3-Year Postdoc in Auditory Neuroscience in Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Work with us in sunny Dundee☀️ We're looking for an enthusiastic and friendly individual to work on an amazing project on individual brain rhythms, speech comprehension and hearing loss. tinyurl.com/ddpostdoc Please RT 💜

@juliafstrand I think this is a textbook example of something done right.

I like being known for the stuff I’ve done right, but this is nice too. vox.com/even-better/23…
