In #GestaltLanguageProcessing and #NaturalLanguageAcquisition there's no treatment research evidence, AND there's nothing in the books about a 15 year longitudinal study that was done but never published (in peer reviewed or non-peer reviewed literature).

I presented research at a conference like that years ago - my talk was 8 minutes followed by several minutes of grilling by the audience on every detail of the study. Peer review definitely strengthens one’s work!
