@elsevierconnect.bsky.social should be hanging their heads in shame with this utter nonsense. Check out the article for other AI-slop images that mean absolutely nothing.

On my way home from a nice trip to @notts-psych.bsky.social visiting @markhaselgrove.bsky.social and others. Always a great place to visit. They even gave me a very nice and appropriate gift from their department library 😊

JOB ALERT: I am offering a 4-year funded PhD opportunity. The position is specifically linked to the project “Assessing the balance between goal-directed and habitual processing through the course of learning". The project is about learning habits and include eye tracking and pupillometry...

Always nice to see papers out in the wild. Opening the batting in this month's @qjep.bsky.social is "Apparent statistical inference in crows may reflect simple reinforcement learning" By @davidgeorge.bsky.social, Dominic Dwyer, Me & @mikelepelley.bsky.social share.google/0IoZwV3sne1N...

Apparently, this was "nothing to do with skin colour". Robert Jenrick just likes "mixed communities". Which is why he has also criticised very white neighbourhoods or towns and villages up and down the UK, umm... <checks notes> never.

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

Academics with standard R&T contracts, how many journal article reviews do you do in a typical year, and how long do you spend on the average review?

Launch day 🚀 We’ve just released @chartlecc.bsky.social - a daily chart game! Your job is to guess which country is represented by the red line in today's chart. You get 5 tries, no other clues! Play today, come back tomorrow for a different chart with new data and share with your chart friends 📈

Nice demonstration here of how interposing a delay between action and outcome can impact causal understanding of the instrumental relationship. www.instagram.com/reel/DKuFcFj...

Great start to the week. "Mechanisms Underlying the Accuracy of Stimulus Representations: Within-event Learning and Outcome Mediation" by Sandra Lagator, Clara Muniz-Diez, @tombeesley.bsky.social and me has been accepted for publication at JEP:ALC. Will get a preprint up and available soon.

Many processes from industry are not appropriate or overkill for an academic setting, but we can and should be doing better than we currently are. Our paper tries to give practical advice on how you can improve your scientific workflow, without being a coding guru. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Jim Sciutto@jimsciutto.bsky.social · 2y ago

Trump has not uttered a critical word about Putin but he and his VP publicly belittled the leader of the nation Putin invaded.

Spent the morning talking about psychology my children's school. Now, I've given many talks to leading experts from across the world, but nothing prepares you for Qs from 6-7 year olds! Personal favourite, from my own son, "if you stepped on a bit of lego and didn't have a brain, would you feel it?"

On the train home after a fantastic meeting of the @exppsychsoc.bsky.social . If you're an experimental psychologist (broadly defined) based in the UK (or can attend regularly) do consider membership (£30 pa). It's a wonderful society that provides fantastic support for UK psych, especially ECRs.

Brilliant mid-career prize lecture by @mikelepelley.bsky.social on "Prediction, Plasticity and Prioritisation" at the London meeting of the @exppsychsoc.bsky.social

Working on a presentation while parenting. It's going about as well as expected.

BlueSky tip: go to settings; go to "thread preferences"; turn on "Threaded Mode"; you're welcome. I've always HATED the weird twitter styling for replies. This is more like Reddit style.

Reading a paper where the rationale is that the processes haven't been studied in ecologically valid procedures. The paper then moves from this rationale straight to the results, with the "innovative methods" presented after the discussion! Does anyone actually enjoy reading papers in this format?

Maybe one of the reasons there are so many unhinged academics is that in order to keep your job, you’re constantly required to tout yourself as a Scholar of World-Historical Significance, even as your office’s ceiling tiles slowly dislodge themselves to fall on your head.
