Publication alert! Our latest paper with @kristinwitte.bsky.social and @ericschulz.bsky.social is out in Scientific Reports: rdcu.be/eydDQ! We explore whether model-based exploration strategies can be used to capture individual differences. Curious how cognitive models meet personality science?
Model-based exploration is measurable across tasks but not linked to personality and psychiatric assessments

Preprint alert! We explore 3 exploration tasks, testing if they measure a stable construct & its link to real-world exploration. We find improved robustness of latent factors compared to single-task estimates. With Mirko Thalmann & @ericschulz.bsky.social 🔗https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/tzuey

ChatGPT gets ‘anxiety’ from violent and disturbing user inputs, so researchers are teaching the chatbot mindfulness techniques to ‘soothe’ it
A study on how to “calm down” chatbots could advance how AI is applied in mental health interventions, according to the authors.
