Il prossimo venerdì 28 Ottobre 2022 alle 11 si terrà presso la Sala Lauree del Dipartimento di Psicologia dell’Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca (edificio U6, terzo piano, Piazza dell’Ateneo Nuovo, 1 – 20126 – Milano) il seminario dal titolo

“Investigating readers’ failure to notice ‘obvious’ errors in text”

tenuto dal Prof. Adrian Staub della University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Di seguito l’abstract del seminario:

In this talk I will describe a series of recent studies from my lab, using both eye tracking during reading and behavioral paradigms, that have investigated readers’ failure to notice repetition of a word, omission of a word, or transposition of adjacent words.  Our results indicate that these failures are not due primarily to insufficient encoding (i.e., the eyes skipping the critical words), nor are they due to parallel processing of adjacent words.  I will describe our current account, which attributes these failures to post-perceptual rational inference.

  • BIL Seminar "What does atypicality really mean? Language acquisition in autism" - Mikhail Kissine febbraio 10, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm U6, Sala Lauree, Terzo piano

    Abstract
    "Research on language in autism mostly explores delayed acquisition or atypical use, the reference point being language in non-autistic individuals. Such approaches focus on language disability, but somewhat downplay the acquisition routes that may be specific to autism. More specifically, typical language development is known to be intimately linked to socio-pragmatic, joint communicative experiences. Early-onset and life-long atypicality in the socio-communicative domain are core characteristics of autism, and likely explain why language onset is often significantly delayed in autistic children. However, it is also usually assumed that language trajectories in autism should be correlated with an increase of socio-communicative skills, such as joint attention. In this talk, I will review evidence that some autistic individuals may, in fact, acquire language in spite of persisting strong socio-communicative disabilities. I will also present new results that show that some autistic children are interested in language in and of itself, independently of its communicative function, and display enhanced sensitivity to the acoustic and structural properties of the linguistic input."
