Really excited about this new preprint spearheaded by @vboyce.bsky.social w/ @mcxfrank.bsky.social and the Peekbank team. It's a deep-dive into a large looking-while-listening dataset (>3000 children!), evaluating what analytic and design choices really matter for measurement osf.io/preprints/ps...

For those dealing with ADA II compliance, we are told anything we link from our websites should also be compliant, including e.g. code/stimuli/preprints on OSF. I'm not willing to unlink, but also not willings to go back to studies from years ago and reformat by Latex files to be screen readable?

The new NIH Biosketch instructions state that in the Contributions to Science: "you can reference up to five products" but that "no citations allowed". Thoughts on whether we should remove all in text citations to be safe, or whether this strictly refers to the lists of citations? #NIH #NIHGrants

Our department is hiring! We're looking for a cognitive/developmental psychologist who uses computational approaches to study human cognition and behavior to address learning, development, and education. Feel free to reach out with questions!

We are hiring! Department of Psychology at the University at Buffalo is recruiting for a SUNY Empire Innovation faculty hire at the rank of Associate or Full Professor. The hire is focused on the study of human cognition and behavior to address gaps in learning, development, or education using AI.

The new #NSF #GRFP application now excludes 1000’s of students, including those who were told they could apply this year, or who planned to apply next year. We have a new specific petition urging #NSFGRFP undo this harmful action. If you are impacted sign here: laurenkuehne.github.io/grfpChanges/

We want to record a set of stimuli featuring children, thoughts on how to do this so they can be shared/reused? Does a parental release like for data sharing on e.g. Databrary suffice? Do you situate it inside a "task" so the consent process is clearer? #devscisky #psychsky

Many updates to our psycholinguistic database page. You terrific people have been busy distributing open source data including lexical databases for BSL, French, German sign. LMK if I've missed anything www.reilly-coglab.com/data

Just sent this as an email to my department but figured I'd share more broadly in case it is useful. This describes the procedure happening now for science funding in Congress (@davidimiller.bsky.social can correct me if I got this wrong). Importantly, there are still actions that can be taken.

Tenure clock extensions are a great deal for the institution. Not so much for the faculty member

Amy Orsborn@neuroamyo.bsky.social · last yr.

I'm already hearing rumblings from academic leaders that tenure clock extensions may be part of how early career researchers weather this new storm. A reminder that clock extensions are not the easy solution some think them to be: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... We must do better by junior faculty.

AI models are fascinating, impressive, and sometimes problematic. But what can they tell us about the human mind? In a new review paper, @noahdgoodman.bsky.social and I discuss how modern AI can be used for cognitive modeling: osf.io/preprints/ps...

new preprint on Theory of Mind in LLMs, a topic I know a lot of people care about (I care. I'm part of people): "Re-evaluating Theory of Mind evaluation in large language models" (by Hu* @jennhu.bsky.social , Sosa, and me) link: arxiv.org/pdf/2502.21098

People talk a lot about objects, but what about the softness of a cushion, the greenness of an emerald, or the viscosity of oil? In our work just published @pnas.org, we shed light on how we make sense of the hundreds of materials around us. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
