How do some people become proficient speakers of so many languages? In this beautifully written The New Yorker piece, Judith Thurman travels with MaxPlanck-Psycholinguistics hyperpolyglot L.M. Rojas-Berscia, PhD, & talks to @michaelerard, me, & Ev (like in 'evidence', not Eve) Fedorenko 🇺🇦 about new scientific horizons: newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…

By day (& sometimes night) I'm a geneticist. Public outreach is also important to me; I'm convinced scientists can help ensure #scicomm is both engaging & accurate. But is it worth it? Contrasting views of Prof Jennifer L. Rohn & Fiona Fox: theguardian.com/science/occams… vs theguardian.com/science/blog/2…

frontiersin.org/research-topic… Melissa Duff and Vitoria Piai will guest-edit a special issue of Frontiers in Human Neuroscience targeting topics in language and memory — abstracts due Jan. 31st 2019!

Learning new meanings: early in learning trajectory the familiarity of the form is helpful. Later it inhibits efficiency. (Compared with novel word forms.)

This afternoon I’m learning about bilingualism. Beautiful data from Tamar Degani showing that recent naming experience in L2 reduces subsequent naming performance in L1. Global effect regardless of whether specific word was repeated and item-specific effects. #psAmsterdam18

Last day of #psamsterdam18 and I know some people might already want to go home or explore the city, but I can recommend the “Neural Correlates of Incidental L2 Auditory Word Learning” talk at 3pm. Really!
