open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep spindles are thought to facilitate motor memory consolidation by reactivating recently acquired memory traces during non‐rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, yet most human evidence is correlational. Using a closed‐loop targeted memory reactivation (CL‐TMR) protocol, this study tested whether auditory cueing time‐locked to spindles enhances ...

Second Language Interactional Competence in Roleplay: Comparing Generative Artificial Intelligence and Human Interlocutors

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) as an alternative to human interlocutors for assessing interactional competence (IC) in a second language (L2). Thirty L2 English speakers completed a 6‐item roleplay task designed to elicit refusals of requests, invitations, and offers, interacting with both a ...

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐stakes exams can be used to rank and select candidates for job openings, and the ability of those selected hinges on the design of the exam. I propose a method to model candidates' performance to assess how effective the exam is at selecting high‐ability candidates.
