as someone who spent a decent chunk of my PhD deriving these model predictions by hand, I’m glad to see this released! congrats @tadegquillien.bsky.social !

@tadegquillien.bsky.social · 3d ago

I wrote an R package that makes it much easier to use computational models of causal judgments. You can also explore the associated interactive app: tadegquillien.shinyapps.io/causaljudgme... cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

BRAIN PEOPLE! 🧠 Activating my network! My unbelievably excellent postdoc, @aliekhlasi.bsky.social will finish with me next August (grant runs out). He's a brilliant expert in all things neuroimaging & computational analysis, ...

I am able to take on new doctoral students through this amazing initiative! If you are interested please reach out to me by email to discuss.

New tutorial finally in press with @rmkubinec.bsky.social @chelseaparlett.bsky.social and @matti.vuorre.com. It has everything you could possible want: Quippy headings, a whole lot of beta, bayesian analyses and frequentist analyses side by side in harmony. link.springer.com/article/10.3...

early-career academics, if you don't have a website, make yourself one. yes it's annoying but just do it it can be plain text on a white background, or google sites, or even a free Wix one with ads. nobody cares we just need to be able to look you up, quickly, bc there's like 100 other apps here

Our lab is growing! We're looking for a graduate student to start next fall (applications due on Dec 1) and a postdoctoral researcher to start soon (ad coming soon; starting date is flexible, probably some time next year). subjectivitylab.org

New commentary! Are scientists and laypeople alike under persistent illusions of understanding? Shiffrin, Stigler, & Keil (2026) seem to think so. I argue this isn't the case w/ @sharonchungsl.bsky.social, Adam Harris, @davidlagnado.bsky.social & @singmann.bsky.social: rdcu.be/3swzbgH3ePva

I’m very grateful to @smfleming.bsky.social for his supervision and @kevingoneill.github.io for a great collaboration. We show that the PE bias in confidence judgments can be a Bayes-optimal consequence of inference in high-dimensional spaces, and in CNNs, the bias also increases with dimensionality
