It’s been a long road. I’m psyched to announce that our collaboration on human relationship knowledge with Dr. Yin Wang as lead author was just accepted at Nature Human Behavior. Be on the lookout for:
Cheng X, Popal H, Hu R, Zang Y, Wang H, Zang Y, Zhang M, Thornton M, Hua Jian C, Bi Y, Reilly J, Olson I, & Wang Y (2024, in press) Conceptual structure of human relationship knowledge across modern and historical cultures. Nature Human Behavior.
There’s something in this article for everyone, including a little Easter Egg about George Clooney…
She’s here!!! Dr. Skoric will be working with us as a visiting scholar at Temple for Fall 2024.
Friend of the lab, Helen Schmidt, has won the big one for a PhD statement — an NIH NRSA F31 fellowship! Congratulations to Helen and her mentor Dr. Chelsea Helion on this awesome accomplishment. We are going to be working with Helen on her aims of analyzing evoked Heart Rate variability.
Our 100+ page theoretical review paper representing a 50+ author effort at producing a semantic glossary was recently accepted. Be on the lookout for:

Radio still exists! The short message from this interview is that nobody should publicly take a cognitive screening tool like the MoCA.
It’s no Publisher’s Clearing House big check, but we’re still proud of this little paper that could.
Some unsavory characters have accused Jamie Reilly of having no emotions. Although he can neither confirm nor deny this harsh allegation, one thing is certain. Jamie was recently a co-author on an article published in the journal, Emotion. Be on the lookout for:
*Kelly AE, Kennett YN, Medaglia JD, Reilly J, Dudhat P & Chrysikou EG (2024). Conceptual structure of emotions. Emotion. https://doi.org/10.1037/emo0001327
Congratulations to Dr. Matt Sayers - newly minted PhD ready to DESTROY language and short-term memory research. Shift your paradigms, people, because this man is out there!
Dr. Ana Matic Skoric will be joining us at Temple University in Fall 2024 from the University of Zagreb (Croatia) on a Fulbright Scholar Exchange to study aging and language in our lab. She has worked so hard to get this! Coordinating research plans, sponsor statements, panel interviews, and US government red tape has been an arduous process. SHE DID IT.
