Hi everyone! I just shared the video of my PhD defence: youtube.com/watch?v=yAba50zL2Kc&hl=en&cc_lang_pref=en&cc_load_policy=1 and also the slides and the dissertation (osf.io/kwymn), in case someone is interested. Thank you again to everyone who contributed that day to making me immensely happy🤍

Finally out in Psychological Review (psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/...), our update to Signal Detection Theory. We show that contrary to the prevailing Gaussian assumption, evidence distributions in recognition memory are likely minimum extreme Gumbel!

Henrik Singmann@singmann.bsky.social · last yr.

Honey, we fixed Signal Detection Theory (SDT)! In this preprint, Constantin Meyer-Grant, David Kellen, Sam Harding, and I critically evaluate the (unequal-variance) Gaussian SDT model in recognition memory and pursue the Gumbel-min model as a principled alternative: doi.org/10.31234/osf... 🧵

Finally, our paper is out! Together with @aliciafrancomnez.bsky.social, Javier Revuelta, and @mavadillo.bsky.social, we extend hierarchical factor models for skewed RTs and task validation, now in Psychological Methods: doi.org/10.1037/met0... Let me briefly explain what we did and why it matters!

When coding hierarchical models in Stan, I always check if I can specify a marginal likelihood to avoid sampling random intercepts or slopes. While this speeds things up and improves model comparison via LOO, it's incredible how the conditional log-likelihood naturally solves missing value problems!

It's been a few years since I've tried writing a manuscript in Rstudio using markdown (now quarto). It seems A LOT better now but I guess the collaboration issue still remains? We have this same problem with Overleaf, some collaborators simply prefer Word

Although reward signals are believed to capture attention in an inflexible and automatic fashion, in this preprint we demonstrate through three experiments and some computational modelling that verbal instructions can trigger model-based revaluation processes. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Two years ago, I had an idea, one that evolved over time as I kept reading and learning. Today, a major first part of that idea has just become my first PhD preprint, now publicly available on PsyArxiv. Let me tell you a bit more about the story behind it... while I prepare the submission.
