Key finding #4
AI policy requiring students to provide a voluntary AI declaration doesn't seem to work, despite clear guidelines and regular communication. We need alternatives!
Key finding #3
Student writings are becoming more positive in tone. How does this affect critical engagement?
Key finding #2
Writing style is increasingly formal and becoming GPT-like
Key finding #1
ChatGPT-associated stylistic markers (e.g., delve, underscore) surged in prevalence shortly after ChatGPT's launch, but in 2025, we saw a rather consistent decline
Killing 'delve': We analysed 4,800+ student-authored reports across a decade to uncover how ChatGPT is shaping undergrad writing—style, sentiment, and quality. 📉📈
GenAI isn't just a tool. It's a co-author.

Looking for a departmental seminar speaker for the coming academic year? Look no further! Am available to give a talk on how GenAI is shaping undergraduate writing — we analysed 4800+ authentic submissions from the last 10 years!
Going to @exppsychsoc.bsky.social meeting next week. Gonna be my first time in Scotland! Will give a talk on my latest work analysing >4000 authentic student-authored reports to shed light on GenAI's influence on linguistic style and quality. Can't wait to share this work with the world!
What initiatives in your department bring people together and encourage collaboration? Looking for fresh ideas to connect people! #AcademicChatter
Adult vs. children in word learning: Our latest study suggests that the effect of prior knowledge and consolidation may differ between adults and children in word learning. Noel Lam tested over 60+ kids! Impressive work.
@warwickpsych.bsky.social is hiring two 1-year teaching-focussed assistant professors/teaching fellows (open to PhD students close to submission). Open area but one of the posts will likely be in social psy. Come join us!

Tens of thousands of psychological measures have been created, but 79% are not reused more than twice.
In a new article in NHB lead by @faridanvari.bsky.social and @ruben.the100.ci we quantify this fragmentation in psychology's measures and propose solutions.

Great question! In priming, seeing X-Y makes processing X-Y easier next time. But in our final experiment, after reading X-Y, participants judged X in the absence of Y—yet X and Y became closer in the participant's mind . So I would say this goes beyond priming, although definitely related.
Thank you David! More to come as we are doing some follow-up!
Thank you! So glad to hear that I'm not the only one who finds this interesting! 😊
