Pre-registering your study: Why, How, and What if?
09 décembre 2020
Pre-registration is gaining popularity as a way to increase transparency and replicability. Pre-registration allows researchers to specify their research plans in advance, including hypotheses, sample, and planned analyses. Many journals, including Psychological Science (click here for the a list of journals), recognize preregistered research by awarding a Preregistered badge. Read More

TMS workshop with Kate Watkins
15 mai 2019
Title: Stimulating speech: Auditory-motor interactions in production and perception
In my lab, we use non-invasive brain stimulation to explore auditory-motor interactions during speech perception and speech production. I will describe how transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) works and provide a number of examples of how we have used this method in combination with behaviour and other measures of brain function.

Title: The timing of the cognitive processes underlying bilingualism and the perception of foreign accents: Evidence from mouse tracking
The mouse-tracking paradigm allows researchers to better understand how cognitive processes unfold over time by recording participants’ responses using a computer mouse. In this talk, I will present a diverse set of cognitive experiments in which I used the mouse-tracking paradigm for data collection. Read More

CRBLM discussion: Sample sizes
21 octobre 2020
Update: A recording of this session can be found here.
In a recent article in Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, Marc Brysbaert states that sample sizes lower than 100 participants per group are insufficient to draw any kind of conclusion. He further states that “Low statistical power is like blurred vision and it is astonishing that researchers would
actively opt for such a condition.” This CRBLM discussion will feature a panel moderated by Jason Gullifer, and will look at the usefulness of different sample sizes from single-case studies to massive data collection. Read More

Online workshop: How to build your personal academic website using open source software
25 septembre 2020
For many academics, particularly graduate students, post-docs, and early career researchers, having an online presence showcasing their academic work and achievements is an important component for advancing their research and career. A common way to do this is by creating and maintaining a personal website, which provides the opportunity to describe your research interests, highlight recent publications, and share your CV all in one location. However, many do not know where or how to begin this process. Read More

Seeing Through Listening Effort: Measuring Cognitive Load During Listening Using Pupillometry
This symposium is co-sponsored by CRBLM and CIRMMT.
Recent research has highlighted the need to take cognitive processing load into account when looking at speech communication, hearing impairment, ageing, etc. Specifically, research using pupillometry has shown that the pupil response is sensitive to the variations in cognitive load during a wide variety of tasks.
