- 🚨 Congratulations to @dirinagiurgea.bsky.social for getting this lovely paper out! Reward processing is an essential aspect of human experience, yet its contribution to the representation of concepts has received little attention…until now! @psychbangor.bsky.social | @bangoruniversity.bsky.social
- ✨️Excited to share my first paper is out in Behavior Research Methods with @rjbinney.bsky.social and @pennypexman.bsky.social! We quantified the association of a word's meaning with reward, showing that it is a dimension relevant to semantic processing. 📄🔗Link: rdcu.be/eyqvn

- The age at which children learn words depends on frequency of exposure, phonological complexity, and concreteness. In this new paper, we show that it also depends on the social relevance of the word, and that some abstract words may be learned earlier because they capture our social experiences.

- Reposted by Richard J. BinneyWhat are potential barriers to preregistering neuropsychological research? This review maps out key issues and routes to achieving the key objectives of preregistration when studying rare or hard-to-access populations.

- Really delighted to see this nice work by Emiko Muraki published in HBM, and excited to get feedback from the community.
- 🚨 New paper out in Human Brain Mapping! 🚨 with @pennypexman.bsky.social and @rjbinney.bsky.social 🧠 We show that the anterior temporal lobe (ATL) semantic hub supports abstract verb processing—with distinct activity patterns for: • Emotional verbs • Mental verbs • Non-embodied verbs
- The Friday feeling when 2 papers are accepted in one day! Looking forward to sharing the news in full.

- 🚨 Preprint Friday! 🚨Pleased to share this novel and exciting work led by Irina Giurgea in collaboration with Penny Pexman. "An unprecedented, large-scale word ratings study of associations with motivation." Mini -🧵 below... Link to Preprint:
- Across neurophysiological and cognitive literature, reward is considered an essential aspect of human experience, comprising affective and motivation-related processes. The pursuit and receipt of reward greatly influences the types and frequency of experiences we engage in. (2/7)
- When someone says neuropsychology but mean cognitive psychology/neuroscience
- A statement but far from a solution to anything.
- Big news from Finnish publication forum. Almost all MDPI and Frontiers journals will be downgraded to level 0 and thus are not considered as properly peer reviewed trustworthy scientific journals. julkaisufoorumi.fi/en/news/chan...
