"frequent makerspace participation showed a significant positive relationship with STEM career interest only among men (Frequent × Men: β = 0.89, OR = 2.44, p = 0.002), while women’s predicted career interest remained essentially flat across participation levels." link.springer.com/article/10.1...

High school makerspace experience and college STEM affinity: building STEM identity across genders but advancing STEM career interest only for men - International Journal of STEM Education

Background The number of makerspaces in the world has been doubling approximately every 18 months, yet research has focused primarily on STEM skill development rather than on the potential of makerspa...

Selecting an effect size for power analysis is hard. Many researchers fall back on Cohen's thresholds, but they have no empirical basis and vary wildly by field. Our new paper offers a better option: field-specific effect size distributions built from meta-analytic data doi.org/10.3758/s134...

Abstract Effect sizes are useful for understanding the magnitude of study results and for planning new studies via power analysis. However, despite their wide usage, effect sizes are often misinterpreted. This is mostly due to an over-reliance on general effect size benchmarks that were not intended for broad application across diverse research fields. Inaccurate effect size interpretations can lead to incorrect conclusions about the magnitude of study results and incorrect sample size estimates, thereby increasing the likelihood of false-positive results. This article introduces the ESDist R package, which is designed to calculate empirically derived effect-size benchmarks or a range of reliably detectable empirical effect sizes for a specific research question or field of interest by computing effect size distributions (ESDs). This package can be used on data that can be easily extracted from pre-existing meta-analyses to help researchers more accurately plan new studies or to better understand how an individual study might relate to other studies in their field. ESDist includes a set of features that make it easy to use in a priori power analysis. Moreover, the package includes a feature for estimating effect size benchmarks that account for publication bias and are weighted by effect sizes' variances, which addresses existing limitations of using ESDs for study planning or interpretation.

Is mental imagery a single process? Our meta-analysis of 46 fMRI studies suggests not. We find a key divide between object imagery (visualizing an object in rich detail) and spatial imagery (mentally transforming objects). This split mirrors the ventral and dorsal streams of vision

In a number comparison task, the size effect is, in fact, at least three distinct size effects with three corresponding generators. See more details about the anatomy of the number comparison size effect at doi.org/10.3758/s134...

In symbolic number comparison tasks, the numerical distance and size effects are largely influenced by the statistical properties of the stimuli. Here, we tested whether nonsymbolic number comparison ...
