How far can we trust representation analyses or mechanistic interpretations? Our new work, led by Dan Friedman shows that analyses based on simplifying the model or its representations can be misleading about how the model will behave out of distribution! arxiv.org/abs/2312.03656

Delighted to share this new preprint lead by Arthur Le Pargneux. When somebody needs to "take one for the team" (pull a late night, walk an extra mile, trudge through mud), do people think that moral responsibility falls upon whoever has the weakest bargaining position? osf.io/preprints/ps... 1/2

If you are at #SfN23, go check out the awesome work that Ata Karagoz @atabk.bsky.social is doing with me and Zach Reagh @zreagh.bsky.social! He uses behavioral (!) and neural RSA to measure the construction of cognitive maps for planning.

ICYMI: @steveharoz.com recently made a very nice little feed that curates the most liked psyarix and bioarxiv-neuro preprints over the past week. It is a great way to find new preprints. 🧠🟦 #psychology bsky.app/profile/did:...

An intergroup contact intervention in Nigeria improved intergroup attitudes, fostered more intergroup contact, and decreased feelings of insecurity in these communities, not only for those who directly participated, but also for the wider community! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

If you know any undergrads who would like to do something very adventurous next summer (experiments on learning in single cell organisms), have them get in touch with me.

Our new R package makes it easy to report the percentage of effect sizes that a given effect is larger than for a given research field. So instead of reporting a 'medium' effect, you can say something like, "we found an effect that was larger than 42% of effect sizes reported in the field"

A good time of year to repost: Every year I read a lot of grad school applications from accomplished people that don't give me the info I'm looking for. It feels like a major hidden curriculum thing. So here's (my opinion on) how to write a great Statement of Purpose/Research for a PhD program. 1/

Solid evidence now exists to show that implicit bias responds to a variety of outputs (including propositional ones) and is capable of long-term change. In this commentary with @ericman.bsky.social, we consider the implications of these findings for our science and for society: rdcu.be/doFRI.

A common view in behavioral science is that people cannot introspect directly on the mental processes underlying their choices. Here, in a new preprint, we provide evidence that they can. osf.io/preprints/ps... Work with Ryan Carlson, Hedy Kober, and @mjcrockett.bsky.social

As my first post, delighted to share our #neurips2023 paper: Evaluating Cognitive Maps & Planning in LLMs with CogEval We test cognitive maps & planning in 8 LLMs. Failures like hallucinating invalid paths & falling in loops suggest no emergent zero-shot planning. 1/n 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2309.15129

Open data sharing is a good thing; Protecting participant privacy is a good thing. Sometimes these two good things are in conflict. Our new preprint introduces a decision-making framework and open source tools to help share as openly as possible and as closed as necessary. osf.io/preprints/me...
