Wij starten met onze nieuwe opleiding Master in het Basisonderwijs. Wil je ons docententeam komen versterken? Hieronder vind je twee ZAP-profielvacatures! Delen = 💙

Computational modeling meets #ExperimentalPragmatics Check our new preprint, where we propose a novel Rational Speech Act model of metaphor understanding to increase scalability arxiv.org/abs/2404.02983 W/ @GaiaCarenini @lucabischetti @WSchaeken #RSA

If some scalar inferences require cognitive effort, could that mean that all of them do? This systematic review explores the connection between implicature derivation and (available) Working Memory resources 📢New from: @BojanNys @wongwai3w @WSchaeken sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Psyched to announce this new publication in @CognitionJourn! 🎓In this systematic review, we investigate the relation between scalar implicature derivation and working memory. Full-text available here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hxC%7E2Hx2t… @wongwai3w @WSchaeken

The PI-Lab working three days in Torino on their plans for next year @wongwai3w @BojanNys @FelixHVHermans @midasVO#bigbraintime

I did not have many competing intuitions about this one: if you look for a slow-reading alternative for the classic fast-reading detective in the beach chair, this BBS-paper is strongly recommended. It nicely shows how to improve thinking about dual process models.

@keanema @ruthmjbyrne @MichealMartinTD Congratulations Ruth @ruthmjbyrne !

My brilliant wife, best friend and co-researcher @ruthmjbyrne was awarded RIA 🏅today by the Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD

Less than a week to submit your abstracts to #XPRAG2022 Invited speakers’ pictures below, just to increase motivation 😀 All infos here sites.google.com/iusspavia.it/x… @IussPavia

Great conference, excellent invited speakers, superb venue; in other words, the ideal combination

New year new #ExperimentalPragmatics event! Here's the announcement of the 9th #XPRAG conference, which we will organize at @IussPavia. Stellar invited speakers @NGotzner, Stephen Levinson, Anna Papafragou, Marc Pell. CfP by the end of February! #XPRAG2022 xpragit.com/9th-xprag-conf…

Did you miss the #20yearsXPRAG event to discuss the last 20 years of research starting from the seminal works of @Irastamon? Now you can find (some of) the talks on the brand new #XPRAGit youtube channel youtube.com/channel/UC5tIm… @RichardBreheny @WSchaeken @pb_schumacher @NGotzner

@hans_opdebeeck Auch! Hopelijk snel beterschap

A few hours ago we received the most fitting present for Christmas 2021: A strongly positive covid test in the house. I wish all of you a better present from Santa!

@WSchaeken is looking for data on scalars and working memory for a meta analysis - unpublished work welcome! #XPrag, #20yrsXPRAG

Here it is, the inspiring program of the 20 Years of #ExperimentalPragmatics Symposium happening on November 11-12. What can we say today on metaphors and scalars 20 yrs after @Irastamon's seminal works on it? Zoom link coming soon at xpragit.com/20-years.html #20yrsXPRAG

@VBambini @Eli_Tonini @PennyPexman @PilarPVives @nclsptt @lucabischetti @federico_frau @pronina_marusia You nailed it @Eli_Tonini, well done. Also congrats to the supervisor @VBambini

Happy faces at the end of @Eli_Tonini PhD defence. Great discussion on the role of ToM in metaphor, on Relevance Theory, and on pragmatic skills development. The pitch: @PennyPexman's background while reading the proclamation! Congratulations Elisabetta! #ExperimentalPragmatics

Save the date and celebrate with us 20 years of #ExperimentalPragmatics with a two-day symposium on scalar implicatures and metaphors! The event will be held on-line on November 11-12, 2021. @VBambini

We are looking for a postdoc that has experience with A.I. wizardry, neuro hocus pocus, and the magic potion obtained when you mix these two ingredients. Interested? All Harry Potters can submit their CV and motivation letter here: kuleuven.be/personeel/jobs…

Come work with us @KU_Leuven. We are recruiting a PhD student interested in social behavior and ultrasonic communication in rodents. How are ultrasonic vocalizations involved in emotional contagion in rats? We'll find out! Together! Pls RT Details here kuleuven.be/personeel/jobs…

Treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) still represents a main clinical issue, associated with worse course of illness and cognitive profile. Here’s a novel paper in which we evaluated long-term cognitive outcome in TRS (also in ultra-treatment resistant patients). @MartaBosia

Finally out! @MariaSpychalska @MarkusWerning @pb_schumacher frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
