Belief in a just world reduces conspiracy theory endorsement when ambiguity tolerance is low
According to a study published in Personality & Individual Differences, belief in a just world is negatively associated with conspiracy theory endorsement, but only among individuals with low ambiguity tolerance.
Our chapter “Listening difficulty: From hearing to language” is out in the book series The Psychology of Learning and Motivation! We highlight often overlooked connections between cognitive hearing science and psycholinguistics and make recommendations for moving the fields forward together.

"Our results align with those reported in language contexts, providing further evidence for the similarity of linguistic and visual narrative processing, and emphasize the role of both proficiency and age of acquisition in visual narrative comprehension."

Individual differences in the neural dynamics of visual narrative comprehension: The effects of proficiency and age of acquisition - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review
Understanding visual narrative sequences, as found in comics, is known to recruit similar cognitive mechanisms to verbal language. As measured by event-related potentials (ERPs), these manifest as initial negativities (N400, LAN) and subsequent positivities (P600). While these components are thought to index discrete processing stages, they differentially arise across participants for any given stimulus. In language contexts, proficiency modulates brain responses, with smaller N400 effects and larger P600 effects appearing with increasing proficiency. In visual narratives, recent work has also emphasized the role of proficiency in neural response patterns. We thus explored whether individual differences in proficiency modulate neural responses to visual narrative sequencing in similar ways as in language. We combined ERP data from 12 studies examining semantic and/or grammatical processing of visual narrative sequences. Using linear mixed effects modeling, we demonstrate differential effects of visual language proficiency and “age of acquisition” on N400 and P600 responses. Our results align with those reported in language contexts, providing further evidence for the similarity of linguistic and visual narrative processing, and emphasize the role of both proficiency and age of acquisition in visual narrative comprehension.
🚨New paper🚨: "Unfamiliar face matching ability predicts the slope of face learning" is now in
@SciReports
Unfamiliar face matching predicts the efficiency with which a face is learned. We also examined potential mechanisms driving this relationship!

#personality and/ or #adolescence researchers! Which #conferences taking place in #Europe are you attending or would you recommend for 2023? Looking for some inspiration since I would love to connect in person but avoid flying.
So far, I am aware of DPPD in Salzburg, but there’s probably more?

I’m a #postdoc @Ecophy_CEBC @CNRS 🇫🇷 specialized in #behavioural and #cognitive #ecology
My research is focused on proximate and ultimate causes of #individualdifferences in #BehaviouralPlasticity and #cognitiveabilities in #bird populations using both #experimental and #theoretical approaches.

Happy to join #mastodon and meet new people.
"young autistic people" performed better on the cognitive reflection test than a control group (on average) both when under time pressure and when given time to reflect (N = 206).
