Happy to share some new theoretical work with @andyperfors.bsky.social that will appear at CogSci this year! We argue (and demonstrate through simulations) that people can determine how much to trust other agents by thinking about how those agents have acquired their knowledge. 1/3

Australian election called against Dutton and the Coalition. I almost want to cry a little - didn't realise how badly I needed this to happen. There was a lot at stake in this election but I know a lot of marginalised people are breathing a sigh of relief. #auspol

In May, our 50th Anniversary series features an invited review from Valenza et al, who trace the legacy of their seminal 1996 article, "Face preference at birth” and a readers’ perspective on perception of relations. tinyurl.com/k2jmtbhw

⚠️New paper! If you like multisensory temporal perception, this one has HEAPS for you. We looked at simultaneity perception, simple RTs, race model inequality, serial dependence (recalibration), modality shift costs, musicians, and more! Findings summarised below 1/10 psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Meta-analysis results "suggest no significant group differences between autistic and non-autistic individuals in auditory or visual oddball perception, recognition, or neural signatures" link.springer.com/article/10.1... "we found no study-level evidence to support any prediction-related hypothesis"

First time in the US, for ARO. Border officer gave me a hard time. Probably because it’s hard to say Otolaryngology without sounding like a nervous dweeb

Officiating of Arsenal games is enough to make me want to forget everything I've learned about human biases from a PhD in psychology and conclude that league refs actually are corrupt. Because at this point I basically think so. Makes 3 pts even more satisfying tho!

In a normal world making a Nazi salute in public should be the end of a person. We no longer live in a normal world.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

“The human prefrontal cortex alone contains enough neuronal hardware to run 5000 [fruit]flies.” Meanwhile mine can’t even keep me from shitposting on Bluesky after a couple of beers. Cool paper from @mameister4.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/a/1kHVa3BtfH...

Spotify Wrapped top artist was Molly Nilsson 😍 I guess I flogged her new album harder than I thought. Special mention to Keanu Nelson, an Indigenous Australian artist I discovered this year who made my top 5. Check out the song Kutjupa Tjuta!

I have recently started using Pack & Go, and it's as easy as they make it sound. Upload your PTB code, and hey presto you have your experiment in a browser.

"We found that, when informed about task difficulty, humans barely shift their confidence criteria." Awesome new work by Xue, Shekhar and @dobyrahnev.bsky.social questioning the Bayesian confidence hypothesis in perception: www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Alex Pouget and I wrote a perspective a few years ago on Major Sources of Computational Complexity in Complex Decision-Making 🧠. We never got around to publishing it, and so now uploaded it to OSF Preprints: doi.org/10.31219/osf.... I hope some of you might find it useful.

Interesting study on the computational role of prior probability in perceptual choices, finding that priors change the accumulation rate of evidence rather than the baseline. Nicely in line with work by @clarepress.bsky.social & @danieljamesyon.bsky.social: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... 🧠🤖 🧠🟦

Huge congrats to @karyna-mi.bsky.social for her paper published today in Science! She found that the hippocampus is really important for a key strategy we use to make decisions called hidden state inference! 🧪 🧠https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq5874 1/7

This is a very reluctant part II in a series of blog posts on the Protzko retraction. The first was motivated by the authors misleading in a .pdf, and this one around false statements in the WSJ, Die Zeit, Nature, and on @spencrgreenberg.bsky.social's podcast. joebakcoleman.com/blog/2024/no...
