Really pleased that our meta-analysis on prejudice confrontation (with @lilitou.bsky.social) has now been published in Psychological Bulletin. We find that confronting prejudice is an effective bias reduction technique (but there is more research to be done!): doi.org/10.1037/bul0... #PsySciSky

Excited that @sheffielduni.bsky.social has featured our 🎮 #counter-strike research 🎮 with @endpoint.gg and the cs community! 🤩 @erahyde.bsky.social and I explain how #counter-strike skill relates to better decision-making in high-pressure situations, which can benefit also other parts of life! 👇

📢Come prepare, plan, organize, and have fun with us!

🎮Do you play #counter-strike? 🎮We're still looking for a few more participants to take part in a short study - details below! 🙏

Only a few days left to take your chance for a PhD at the Bordeaux Neurocampus! 🤩

Does playing Counter-Strike make you think faster? ⌨ Prof Claudia Von Bastian @cvonbastian.bsky.social and PhD student Eleanor Hyde are looking into the cognitive benefits of playing video games like Counter-Strike 2. Learn more 👇 #CS2 #CounterStrike

Yesterday in Nature. A new place for science 👌

The 24th meeting of the European Society for Cognitive Psychology (ESCOP) will be held in Sheffield, UK, on the 2nd-5th September 2024. The deadline for regular abstract submission (regular talk, blitz-talk, or poster) is 15 March 2025.

Pulling some graphs from the NIH data book for teaching grad prosem, and wow the late 90s/early 00s were a different era. # Borntoolate

1. From morning EST to evening PST, I receive an email roughly once every three minutes. Overnight the pace slows, but not all that much. If I did nothing but read email and reply 12 hours a day I could probably keep up. A once-wonderful productivity technology is killing any hope of productivity.

New #AutRes paper: our review of the use of pre-registration in autism research journals was published over the holiday journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... w/ @fsedgewick.bsky.social, Audrey Linden, Hannah Hobson, Oliver Allchin

Calling all #psych researchers!📢 We’re conducting a quick survey on #preregistration & would love your input on what features an ideal prereg platform should have. We will use your feedback to improve @zpid.bsky.social's service PreReg! Thanks!✨ Link: www.soscisurvey.de/zpid-prereg/ #OpenScience

For everyone who is new, here’s the directory where you can find a list of starter packs and connect with people who have the same interests:

We're all only focusing on a little information at once, but what information that is changes constantly in line with our goals (or whatever has captured attention and drawn it in another direction). #psychscisky More information about how we know this, and its impacts in @psychmag.bsky.social:

Some great work by @mengya-zhang.bsky.social!

It was another lovely day, and luckily I was able to get out and listen to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist! Remember that you can subscribe to my playlist at academicrunplaylist.beehiiv.com (1/11)

I’m absolutely thrilled to share that I have been promoted to Professor (Chair)! 🥳 Still can't quite believe this actually happened, but the letter from HR says it did! 🤩 🍾

We're running a new scientific study on cognitive abilities in #counter-strike players! If you know players (or play yourself 🤩), please consider sharing our 30-mins study: shef.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #cs2 #esports

Had an amazing time at the @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social Annual Meeting in NYC! 🍎 Enjoyed fantastic talks and presented work with @cvonbastian.bsky.social & @philippmusfeld.bsky.social on Hebb-repetition learning in #counterstrike players. Stay tuned for a follow-up study with a larger sample! 📊

I can't find African Scientists and researchers easily on here. As the second largest continent with 1.3 billion inhabitants our perspectives matter. I'm creating a starterpack to find folks, follow them and amplify them. If you are an African Scientist let me know below so I can add you. Thanks.
