🎸Faster, harder, louder - that's how metal fans celebrate their music at #Wacken Open Air. Lydia Schneider & Tom Fritz conducted a field study right on site to find out whether and how the festival experience & listening to #heavymetal live affect the audience’s #pain tolerance: tinyurl.com/5cjdvjrf

Have you ever heard a #child proudly say “Schau mal, zwei Hünde!” What sounds amusing to us shows how hard forming plurals is for a 3yo. Cheslie Klein, Charlotte Grosse Wiesmann & Angela Friederici show how maturation of #neural pathways in 🧠 is linked to form plural of #words. tinyurl.com/2mm5y5sy
