Here's a friendly reminder that "AI" is a broad term encompassing lots of things. Machine learning and "AI" have been around along time. I suspect, in many cases, when people express concerns about "AI" they really mean "Generative AI." www.forbes.com/sites/bernar...

If you've found yourself making impassioned arguments like "There's no evidence for learning styles and there are better ways to differentiate" or "Learning is more than just a cognitive process" then you may be Learning Scholar!

Losing Google Scholar would be a huge problem for me, because plain internet search, already degraded, looks like it's going to be contaminated w/shitty AI & otherwise it's about getting access to proprietary databases or ????

When asked who is an expert in their field, men #psychology researchers name significantly fewer women than their women colleagues do. This has implications for the gender gap. More in my new story for Science. With @veronicayan.bsky.social www.science.org/content/arti...

New paper! Difficulty mindsets have prev. been studied wrt motivation for goals (as imposs., as valuable). They also matter for how you choose to reach goal (exercise, weight, academic)—taking the easy or the effortful route. www.tandfonline.com/eprint/3TTFY... #psychsciski #edusky

Are you interested in whether your treatment condition is "moderated" or "interacts" with other manipulated or measured variables? There's a lot of surprising ways in which this seemingly simple analysis can go wrong! Paul von Hippel and I just posted a draft of our preprint on this topic below.

If we support pre-registration, we should look at the pre-registration when reviewing a paper 🙏. Even without reading the whole thing in detail, just spot checking whether the primary analyses highlighted in the paper were registered exactly as conducted can reveal a lot. #metasci #statssky

Most papers comparing clustered data methods use biostat/econ language, so I tried to write one using psyc/ed language that covers the origin of the independence assumption, how each method handles ind. violations, and types of questions best-suited for each method psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-...

Read this. There is a lot of fear of too much criticism in psychology, talk of protecting ECRs from this threat, etc. What about protecting ECRs from the damage of being silenced or worse when they raise legitimate criticism of famous people’s work? https://www.theorgplumber.com/posts/statement/

🚨 New preprint with Gulnaz Kiper & Daphna Oyserman: Given a goal, what strategies do ppl prefer -- the easy route or the more effortful one? For both physical and academic goals, beliefs about difficulty matter for ppl's perception of strategies (efficacy, likelihood of using). #psychscisky #edusky
