In our study published in Learning and Instruction, we propose and test the Prosodic Catalysing Hypothesis (PCH) which frames comprehension as a data-prediction and optimization problem. Click here to find out more!
Our SLR lab’s PhD student, Puyuan’s work was featured on the cover page of Learning & Memory. Please check out Puyuan’s paper titled “Cue Predictiveness and Uncertainty Determine Cue Representation During Visual Statistical Learning”! In this paper, Puyuan developed a novel probabilistic cueing-validation paradigm and demonstrated that input uncertainty regulates the operation of exploration-like (relatively implicit) and exploitation-like (relatively explicit) cue processing during visual statistical learning. Thanks to Mei Zhou, Arpitha Vasudevamurthy, and Stephen Man Kit Lee for their version of the cover page!
