@lukaszwalasek.bsky.social, @hohwy.bsky.social, Antonio Verdejo-Garcia and I published an article in Decision on the relationships between time preferences, impulsivity, and self-control. We were invited by the APA to write a non-technical snippet about it here: www.growkudos.com/publications...

Dignity is a very important ethical concept, but a dangerously fuzzy one, which puts into question whether and how we can honour our obligations to treat people with dignity! Our new study detangles dignity and respect, by showing dignity has specific ties to humiliation.

What does it mean to treat someone with dignity, as opposed to, say, treating them with respect? This experiment successfully tests the philosophical theory that ties dignity specifically to humiliation.

Lovely/comprehensive review of metacognition and functional neurological disorder; a condition that demands a metacognitive interpretation: doi.org/10.1093/brai... The emerging picture aligns with findings in psychopathology more broadly—metacognitive performance is often equivalent to controls.

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.
