• Semantics derived automatically from language corpora contain human-like biases (2016, background): “are also sure to contribute to the debate concerning the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis (17), since our work suggests that behavior can be driven by cultural history embedded in a term’s historic use.”
• Tell me why! Explanations support learning relational and causal structure (2021, background): “Language can identify consistent abstractions or structures in the world, and can shape reasoning processes (Edmiston & Lupyan, 2015; Lupyan, 2016; Dove, 2020).”
