Congratulations Frances for being accepted to present a poster at the Architectures and Mechanisms for Language Processing conference! Her poster is titled “Deafness, bilingualism, and The Big 3: How do length, frequency, and predictability support efficient reading in deaf native signers?”. Great job!

Congratulations to Sara and Liz on getting Sara’s master’s thesis, titled “Do Readers Here What They Sea?: Investigating Factors that Affect the Phonological Preview Benefit in Reading” accepted for publication in the special issue “Eye Movements in Reading at 50: Models, Methods, and Findings” at the Journal of Memory and Language. Great work!

Jason will be presenting his poster titled “Music and Linguistic Semantic Anomalies: An ERP Study of Integration & Expectancy on Predictive Processing of Harmonic Music During A Self-Paced Reading Task” at the International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition in August. Congratulations Jason!

Congratulations to Sara, Brian, Martín, and Liz for having the paper titled “Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Foveal Processing is Necessary for Semantic Integration of Words into Sentence Context” accepted for publication at the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance!

Congratulations Frances for being accepted to give a talk at the Human Sentence Processing conference! Her talk is titled “What do the eye-movements of skilled Deaf readers reveal about bilingual readers?”. We’re all looking forward to it!

Congratulations to Nesli, Sara, and Liz on getting Nesli’s honors thesis, titled “Readers scrutinize lexical familiarity only in the absence of expectations: Evidence from lexicality effects on event-related potentials” accepted for publication at Brain and Language. Great work!

Congratulations to Victoria, Sara, and Liz on publishing Victoria’s honors thesis with the USF Psychology Honors Program in Psychophysiology! Her project is titled “Event-related potentials show that parafoveal vision is insufficient for semantic integration”. 

This year’s Psychonomics meeting was held at Boston, Massachusetts. EMaC Lab members presented the results from their most recent projects. On Thursday, Sara presented her poster titled: ” Parafoveal processing provides a head start on word recognition and reduces foveal N400 effects” On Friday, Brian presented his poster titled: “Investigating the relationship between language skillContinue reading “Poster Sessions at the 63rd Annual Psychonomics Meeting”
