Excited to share my (first!) first-author preprint with Stephanie Fine Sasse @HilaryKLambert @KatieAMcLaughlin Leah Somerville Erik Nook 🏳️‍🌈 : Emotion word production develops in tandem with general verbal fluency and reveals key dimensions organizing emotion concepts osf.io/urf2w

Today’s victims are nine innocent pumpkins that have landed in our hands! As the spooky season is almost at an end (at least for pumpkins), we’re ready to shift gears and dive back into the research of less frightful emotions.

New Paper! Adults differ in their ability to generate emotion and non-emotion words, but how these develop is unclear. We found both increases with age, plateau in adolescence, and are correlated. Negative words were the most common. To read more, see: x.com/talvaldivia/st…
