Anybody here knows about a list of acadamecis on Mastodon working on ( ...)? Is it useful if I create one? @psychology

Cette année j'ai accueilli Elsa Cahay, étudiante en arts appliqués à l', qui a visité le labo, discuté avec des doctorant.e.s et post-docs, etc... Elle a résumé son séjour sous la forme d'un petit livret vulgarisé que voici : mycore.core-cloud.net/index.ph

Très content de ma petite slide d'introduction au problème de la segmentation. (Pour celles et ceux que ça intéresse, voici le lien vers l'article de référence pour ce genre d'homophonies : tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108) @psycholinguistics

Les meufs, scénario:
1.un gars que vous ne connaissez pas vous contacte pour discuter en lien avec un sujet sur lequel vous êtes visible
2. vous lui proposez de prendre un café sur votre lieu de travail
3. le gars vous propose plutôt de déjeuner à l'extérieur

=> pour vous, c'est normal ou ça tend vers le malaisant?

(les mecs: ne faites pas ça, vous ne savez pas si votre interlocutrice a une historique de #VSS , ça peut être flippant pour elle)

A very topical excerpt from Merton's *Paradigm for the sociology of knowledge* (1945):
> With increasing social conflict, differences in the values, attitudes, and modes of thought of groups develop to the point where the orientation which these groups previously had in common is overshadowed by incompatible differences. Not only do there develop distinct universes of discourse, but the existence of any one universe challenges the validity and legitimacy of the others. The coexistence of these conflicting perspectives and interpretations within the same society leads to an active and reciprocal distrust between groups. Within a context of distrust, one no longer inquires into the content of beliefs and assertions to determine whether they are valid or not, one no longer confronts the assertions with relevant evidence, but introduces an entirely new question: how does it happen that these views are maintained? Thought becomes functionalized; it is interpreted in terms of its psychological or economic or social or racial sources and functions. In general, this type of functionalizing occurs when statements are doubted, when they appear so palpably implausible or absurd or biased that one need no longer examine the evidence for or against the statement but only the grounds for its being asserted at all. Such alien statements are "explained by" or "imputed to" special interests, unwitting motives, distorted perspectives, social position, and so on. In folk thought, this involves reciprocal attacks on the integrity of opponents; in more systematic thought, it leads to reciprocal ideological analyses. On both levels, it feeds upon and nourishes collective insecurities.

Un petit résumé en français d'une étude psycholinguistique du langage inclusif menée en collaboration avec Elsa Spinelli. Nous avons mesuré expérimentalement l'efficacité de deux formes d'écriture inclusive pour contrer le biais vers le masculin. Pour en savoir plus : dbao.leo-varnet.fr/2023/10/10/

Neural envelope tracking predicts speech intelligibility & hearing aid benefit in children with hearing loss

Neural envelope tracking increases with stimulus intensity -but only without hearing-aids; tracking correlated with measured speech intelligibility

Entretien avec Charlotte Jacquemot, directrice du département d’Études cognitives de l’, qui a une politique réellement volontariste pour la lutte contre les discriminations et les dans l'. Grâce à elle le département a mis en place un formation minimale obligatoire contre les VSS, ainsi que des formations complémentaires (sur la transidentité et les violences LGBTphobes), un système de mentorat pour les chercheuses... ens.psl.eu/actualites/nous-int
