Saw this today too... while preparing teaching materials

Just saw a Grammerly ad that was basically like "here's how our tools can do your homework for you. And we will also run our AI language detector so you can change the words enough to make it seem like your own." Absolutely wild to live in a time where companies openly advertise this use case.

🚨New #OSF #preprint alert! We test how 5 researcher choices affect divergence point analyses with bootstrapping in visual-world eye-tracking. Bin size and significance-window length matter most, and there's a consistent overestimation bias. See also osf.io/preprints/ps... for some recommendations.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

If you use divergence point analysis code from Stone et al. 2020 or 2021, note that we made a code revision recently, detailed in the Analysis folder: osf.io/exbmk/ Shouldn't majorly affect previous analyses, but the revised version should be used going forward.

We are about a month away from releasing a complete refresh of the OSF user interface. The team has been working on this for a very long time, and we are very excited to be able to share it soon. A preview picture:

Only took 1064 attempts 🥳Wordle 1,535 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Psa to my eyelink-using friends: the latest version of windows will cause your experiment timings to fail. Don’t update this time!! (And don’t ask me how I found out 😭😭😭😭😭😭)

Do you want to analyse fixation divergence points in visual world data? Then this is for you!

João Veríssimo@jverissimo.bsky.social · last yr.

New preprint! (w/ @sollago.bsky.social ) We tackle a key challenge in the analysis of visual world data: when do experimental effects first emerge?

Psych-DS is (1) spellcheck for your datasets and (2) a pathway to standardizing data in our academic fields that *everyone* can learn. And it's live RIGHT NOW! psych-ds.github.io (This is the announcement post I've been leading up to)

See the thread below for a list of resources to find academic jobs outside the United States. (Thank you academicsky!)

Laura K. Nelson@lauraknelson.bsky.social · last yr.

Academics - where are academic jobs posted for non-UK non-North American countries? If you were looking for jobs in, say, the Nordic countries, or Australia, where do you look? Asking for all the PhDs who are on the market this year. (Pls no April fools jokes, their nerves are frayed as it is)

Is anyone live-tweeting/skeeting #hsp2025? I have fomo 😢

Poster seen in Sussex Psychology this week.

Inane observation given world events but queueing etiquette at the bus stop in England is wild!

Applications for the ninth summer school on statistical methods for linguistics and psychology close on April 1, 2025. Every year people contact me saying they missed the call, so here it is again :) vasishth.github.io/smlp2025/

Our introduction to Bayesian Data Analysis underwent a major revision (it was too long at 1000 pages, so we moved some 400 pages into online). Currently in production but freely available forever: bruno.nicenboim.me/bayescogsci/

Happy to share that Liz Schotter and I have just published a beginner-level tutorial introduction to eye-tracking-while-reading studies in Behavior Methods: link.springer.com/article/10.3...

I did my PhD with Ed Deci, who usually says very few words. In our meetings, it was his reserved nature that gradually allowed me to come out of my shell, be my own person. That experience teaches me one valuable lesson now that I mentor others: know when to shut up.

This was a nice surprise, thanks @jneurolang.bsky.social!

Compressing the achievements of 4 researchers across 4 modules into a 1000-word narrative-style CV has resulted in a document that is probably less informative than a regular CV. On the upside it's also taking infinitely longer to compile, which means I can avoid grading.

New paper out now in Cognitive Science, led by Masato Nakamura, with Shota Momma and Hiromi Sakai. Evidence for a striking production >> comprehension advantage in sensitivity to verb argument roles. This one took a while, but the end result is worth it. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
