🚨🙋🏻‍♀️💬Check out this exciting work by @cyberming.bsky.social showing that adults use a modality-independent mechanism for interpreting iconic speech and gesture cues. Very proud supervisor. Bonus, it's #OpenAccess ! #AcademicChatter #NewPaper #Gesture #Speech #Multimodality

Thrilled to share @lukaszwalasek.bsky.social, Philip Newall, and I were selected for an AFSG exploratory grant!

We'll study how gambling experiences relate to the main gambling harm measuring tool—the PGSI. Understanding the person behind PGSI scores will enable better harm detection/prevention.

New paper with Tong Liu and Arndt Broeder, just accepted in Cognition. We test novel qualitative predictions from sampling-based models of probability estimation in an event ranking task. Results provide evidence for the idea that mental sampling underlies probability judgements.

🚨 Out in Decision: are you interested in research on impulsivity, self-control, or time preferences, but are not quite sure how they fit together - look no further! @lukaszwalasek.bsky.social @hohwy.bsky.social A. Verdejo-Garcia and I offer a conceptual analysis with empirical evidence.
