Excited to share some work presented at @vssmtg.bsky.social this year #VSS2025. A great talk by Anxin Miao on a model codeveloped with @timbrady.bsky.social that bridges Bayesian and representational theories of memory, and makes parameter free predictions of visual memory biases.

New CogSci paper! In "Taking others for granted: Balancing presentational and personal goals in action selection" we propose a computational model explaining why people favour self interested behaviour when they believe others to trust them. 📃 osf.io/preprints/ps... 📎 github.com/Vbtesh/takin...

I have the same question for one of my packages: does anyone have experience with S7 in #rstats?

I wrote a thing about multivariate normal sampling in #rstats, and why you would be well-advised to prefer mvtnorm::rmvnorm() over MASS::mvrnorm() Now. Let us never speak of this again

🚨 New blog post 🚨 What does difference-in-differences have in common with Dungeons & Dragons? Answer: the willing suspension of disbelief in unprovable assumptions. Can we trust DiD? I show when we can with a new way to simulate the power of DiD. #rstats www.robertkubinec.com/post/did_dnd/

Definitely an issue I sometimes spot in psych as well! If you want to control for higher-level characteristics, you’ll need a fixed effects model — or a multilevel model with tweaks www.statmodel.com/download/Ham...

Honey, we fixed Signal Detection Theory (SDT)! In this preprint, Constantin Meyer-Grant, David Kellen, Sam Harding, and I critically evaluate the (unequal-variance) Gaussian SDT model in recognition memory and pursue the Gumbel-min model as a principled alternative: doi.org/10.31234/osf... 🧵

The mods of r/ChangeMyView shared the sub was the subject of a study to test the persuasiveness of LLMs & that they didn't consent. There’s a lot that went wrong, so here’s a 🧵 unpacking it, along with some ideas for how to do research with online communities ethically. tinyurl.com/59tpt988

I think this post nicely brought together a number of threads that I had seen discussed individually many times before but, well, benefit from being placed together.

How much can we trust our memories? 💭 Professor Chris Brewin (@uclpals.bsky.social) & Bernice Andrews (University of London), revisit a core experiment on false memories, and find that they’re much harder to implant in people’s minds than previously thought.

5 stars is better than 4 stars, but can we even define how much better it might be? Modeling ordinal outcomes like ratings is a subtle topic; fortunately I have a new chapter that dives directly into that nuance. HTML: betanalpha.github.io/assets/chapt... PDF: betanalpha.github.io/assets/chapt...
