@emp1.bsky.social Hi there, hope you are doing OK. Am doing some collaboration with a chum in Oxford who is getting a hint of, what can only be described as, mediated latent inhibition. I noted that your 2024 simulations of DDA predicts the presence of this effect. Has it been reported elsewhere?

I am currently an intermediary between my university and another. Both have cut admin staff, and at least one has recently invested in a (mostly) unusable Oracle-based finance system. In the name of savings and efficiency.

Why overstate & oversell instead of reporting what actually was found? This is not a study on communication. It concerns how chimpanzees hit trees ("drumming bouts") & includes no data on what effect this may have. Surface level similarities can be deceitful. Many frogs have better musical swag.

Great start to the week. "Mechanisms Underlying the Accuracy of Stimulus Representations: Within-event Learning and Outcome Mediation" by Sandra Lagator, Clara Muniz-Diez, @tombeesley.bsky.social and me has been accepted for publication at JEP:ALC. Will get a preprint up and available soon.

Previous studies have shown that some bird and mammal species prefer access to advance information about their future - a trend that may be related to associative processes or to a special appetite for knowledge.

Posted! Vote for job security at University of Nottingham. Yes for strike action and ASOS. Bad enough these huge redundancies. Absolutely No compulsory redundancies!

Ah, yes, forgot this one. "Crow statistical inference" does not seem to stand to scrutiny, either. A learning model accounts well for data, refuting Johnston et al.'s claims of crows calculating reward probabilities with some abstract magnitude representation. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Scientists, I am asking us to do something that goes against our nature: Step away from fine-grained, nuanced arguments. Zoom WAY out. Share the big picture. Don’t soften the seriousness of this moment with “xxx may be ok in xxx circumstances” talk. It’s uncomfortable AND necessary.

A quick shout out for the online meetings on the Psychology of Associative Learning and Memory (PALM). Next meeting is on June 6th and is a talk by Mark Bouton, University of Vermont. "Paying attention (or not) to what you are doing: Habit, goal direction, and inhibition in operant learning" 1/2
