Born & raised in Taiwan 🇹🇼 PhD student at @RHULPsychology. Interested in the science of reading and statistics.
🎉 Excited to share my 1st PhD paper co-authored w/@MarelliMar & @Kathy_Rastle 🎉 It shows the quantity of word experience is not everything! it is also important the experience is consistently meaningful! Intrigued? Read the threads 👇 and the paper at: tinyurl.com/54rkmbud
I've created a shiny app to browse through all (now 3400) open science blog posts. There is a 'happening today' button. Among others, Rolf Zwaan in 2020 on sequential analyses rolfzwaan.blogspot.com/2020/07/how-we…
A lot of discussions about open science in psychology happened on blogs. I have been archiving them and will make their content available. I remember 37 blogs (with 2827 posts!) but which blogs did I forget and are not on my list? Please share and reply with any that are missing!
Very excited to publicly share news about a new tool, Papercheck, that Lisa DeBruine and me started to develop more than a year ago! In an introductory blog post, we explain our philosophy to automatically check scientific papers for best practices. daniellakens.blogspot.com/2025/06/introd…
We show that English grammar causes speakers to value future outcome higher than Dutch speakers. This suggests languages affect the way we make decisions about time, but undermines the mechanisms widely attributed to cause this. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… @MKeithChen ?
What can children learn about morphology when they read for pleasure? Maria Korochkina and I analysed the words in 1200 books suitable for children and young people to find out! Read the blog post here: rastlelab.com/post/what-can-…
** Subtitles - not a magic bullet for literacy ** Find out about our new research published in @PsychScience (tinyurl.com/SLSubtitles) @RHULPsychology @RoyalHolloway @notts_psych @NiftyFoxCreativ @RHSocSci @a_lopukhina
My papers summarizing the strong similarities between the crises in psychology in the 1970's and the 2010's, including reflections on why we are not solving most of them, are out in open access print. You'll enjoy this I promise. rips-irsp.com/articles/10.53… rips-irsp.com/articles/10.53…
Reviewer 2 here: If your intro has an Appeal to Extremes fallacy (e.g. If all of science consisted of X, if people only do X, only X will not solve...) - especially without a citation (because no one said only X would be enough) I will be annoyed reading the rest of your paper.
It is weird everyone knows ego-depletion as one of the research lines where hundreds of studies were performed, but there was no effect - but the Mortality Salience literature has become a historical example of much larger research waste. 825 studies, nothing real about it.

Yesterday we launched new CPD on supporting reading for all secondary staff. Co-creating with so many wonderful practitioners. We are still accepting EoIs for the trial till 19 May. Find out more here: lara.psychologyresearch.co.uk/projects/dfe-c… @educationgovuk
This @educationgovuk short course, developed by @ricketts_lara, on ‘Supporting reading in secondary school’ is an excellent free resource with useful videos & more to build understanding for this crucial area: gov.uk/government/pub…
Where Do Children Look when Watching Videos with Same-Language Subtitles? Interested? You can read more here: rastlelab.com/post/where-do-…
Same-language subtitles can’t teach children how to read. New paper published in Psychological Science, co-authored with @Kathy_Rastle, @beckscrowley, and Walter van Heuven and funded by the Nuffield Foundation. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… Interested? 🧵👇
New paper out in Judgment and Decision Making💡 Leveraging data from Israeli professional volleyball players, we revisited some theoretically interesting hypotheses regarding intra- and intergroup cooperation 👇 cambridge.org/core/journals/…
I’m watching a @ChrisGPotts lecture on how LLMs struggle with systematic compositionality—understanding how meaning is built from structure—while an LLM, via ChatGPT, is explaining to me its own limits in doing exactly that. Incredible.
If you’re at #CNS2025, come check out our work on speech planning (poster C165) this Sunday! @CNSmtg
I'm excited to introduce my AI Machine Learning Agent that built 32 ML models in 30 seconds. Today, I'll share with you how to automate building 100s of ML models with the AI ML Agent, which is available on GitHub. We'll create an ML Agent focusing on a Customer Churn Problem.…
🚨Published in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review🚨 doi.org/10.3758/s13423… Happy to share our work w/Marelli @Kathy_Rastle. We show constituent meanings are routinely combined in compounds, despite variability of constituent meaning & word structure in Chinese. See post for details.
💡New preprint co-authored w/ @MarelliMar & @Kathy_Rastle💡We've found readers "routinely" combine constituent meanings for compound word meaning, even when they're not asked to. I'll also present this work at #PiF2024 in Brussels. Interested? Threads👇 osf.io/preprints/psya…
This is such important reporting by @RhysWilliamsTV. Every child deserves to learn to read well, but England is still the only nation in the UK to mandate use of evidence-based instruction. Isn't it time for that to change?
ICYMI: We've been looking in to the way reading is taught in early years in Wales and across the UK 👇🧵 itv.com/news/2025-02-0…
Two new studies from our team we're particularly happy about Study 1: Brain-to-Text Decoding: ai.meta.com/research/publi… Study 2: From Thought to Action: ai.meta.com/research/publi… Blog: ai.meta.com/blog/brain-ai-…
🔬Our new preprint in cognitive modeling & LM interpretability: arxiv.org/abs/2502.01615 Why does LLM surprisal seemingly deviate from some human measures, e.g., reading times? Because fast human-like sentence processing is captured in LLMs' early layers, not in the final layer.
