Stall Fences
These wing mounted devices ensure airflow is along the chord, reducing the natural tendency for span-wise flow normally found in swept wing aircraft.

IIRC I heard the strakes were added to reduce the tendency to roll back and forth.
Pretrty good chance that's what was already said, but in layman's terms that isn't over my haid.

Oh, by the way, the guy just made a wide circle, lowered his landing gear, touched down . . then taxied in showing scratched paint, but no sheet metal damage.
