Experimental study of habits and goal-directed actions. Málaga, Spain. https://davluque.wordpress.com/
Overreliance on habits is linked to maladaptive behaviors & clinical conditions. But are some people more habit-prone than others? Here, we tested the temporal stability of individual differences in both habit learning & expression. Our data suggest trait-like tendencies! osf.io/preprints/ps...

David Luque@davluque.bsky.social · last yr.New preprint! Habits should get stronger with more practice, right? Well, this crucial result has been difficult to reproduce in human labs. In an instant classic, de Wit (2018) showed 5 failures in obtaining more evidence of habits in conditions with more training -as compared to little trained
Message for government. It's great that you are improving pre and postdoc fellowships, and increasing the number of them. But uni staff are buried in teaching and admin work. We cannot supervise more people. Please, we need more permanent positions, more staff, so we can have time for doing research
🎉 Now published in Nature Communications! 🧠 We develop a novel computational reinforcement learning & habit model of Twitter data, and show that younger people & women are more behaviourally sensitive to 'Likes'. Read the paper: bit.ly/4f1vsKS

We've known that socioeconomics (SES) matters for the 🧠. New & 🤯 is that SES drowns out all other brain associations, incl. IQ. If you train an algorithm to predict IQ from brain data, it's still way better at predicting SES. Science Mag: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @smarek0502.bsky.social 👀🧵👇
Scott Marek@smarek0502.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhat matters most for childhood brain organization? We analyzed 649 variables. The answer: Socioeconomics (SES); with brain patterns pointing at sleep & stress as drivers. Even brain-IQ associations were better explained by SES. In Science today: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The original study reported a very large association, r = .78. In our multi-site replication, the estimate was much smaller, around r = .15 across pipelines and analyses, and non-significant in the preregistered meta-analytic tests.
