Multiverse analysis offers a comprehensive response to a core vulnerability in empirical research: the uncertainty of scientific conclusions arising from defensible yet flexible data-processing and -analysis decisions. By systematically mapping and computing all or a sample of all plausible data-processing pipelines, multiverse analysis reports the robustness of findings across analytical flexibility and increases transparency in the research pro…
How we should measure orthographic depth
Cross-linguistic reading research often focuses on the effect of orthographic depth—the closeness of the relationship between print and speech. To understand its effect on reading, we need to be able to objectively quantify the level of orthographic depth of a given orthography. Previous work has suggested that different dimensions underlie orthographic depth, and it is not always clear if and how existing quantifications map onto these underlyin…
Let’s talk about language—and its role for replicability
Science strives towards a credible and comprehensive understanding of the world around us. Across disciplines within the social and behavioural sciences (and beyond), limitations in the implementation of the scientific approach have been identified in recent studies, showing low replicability of many results. This is an issue for knowledge accumulation, theory-building, and evidence-based decision and policy making. Researchers have proposed seve…
Attentional Prioritization of Infant Faces in Parents
Infant faces are prioritized by the attentional system in parents, resulting in a greater cognitive engagement in terms of response time. However, many biological, contextual and environmental factors relating to this cognitive mechanism have been left unexplored. To fill this gap, this study aims to (i) confirm that infant faces engage more attention compared to adult faces; (ii) investigate whether the attention to infant faces is affected earl…
Variations in the use of simple and context-sensitive grapheme-phoneme correspondences in English and German developing readers
Learning to read in most alphabetic orthographies requires not only the acquisition of simple grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GPCs) but also the acquisition of context-sensitive GPCs, where surrounding letters change a grapheme’s pronunciation. We aimed to explore the use and development of simple GPCs (e.g. a ➔ /æ/) and context-sensitive GPCs (e.g. [w]a ➔ /ɔ/, as in “swan” or a[l][d ] ➔ /o:/, as in “bald”) in pseudoword reading. Across three e…
