The Metascience Alliance is launching at #Metascience2025! This new cross-sector network is building collaboration to better understand & improve the research system. We want your input! Here's how to get involved (🧵)

This is a response to Erik Parens' excellent review of my book, that I published at ELSIhub.org. I thought I would reproduce it on my Substack. Erik's essay is linked, so you can read that too. Scientific Dualisms.

Check out this new paper from my lab in which we find that memory states are influenced by congruency across consecutive memory judgments.

Using EEG recordings, this study shows that memory retrieval is influenced by prior judgments, suggesting that attentional effects may affect neural retrieval states. @dorsolateralpfc.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

I both of my @uvapsychology.bsky.social Brain Mapping undergraduate courses in 2024, ~50 students, there were only two males. I think that is amazing.

Game-changer for the development of new questionnaires, surveys, assessment items, using a combination of Large Language Models and Network Psychometrics.

Hudson Golino@hudsongolino.bsky.social · 2y ago

Items generated and validated in silica using Large Language Models have the SAME STRUCTURAL VALIDITY COMPARING COMPUTER-VALIDATION AND REAL HUMANS VALIDATION! We demonstrated that in 5 different nationally representative samples... Read below:

Optimization of the landscape of LLM embeddings using Dynamic Exploratory Graph Analysis. Problem: How can the accuracy of LLM embeddings be improved when they are used to map concepts/traits using text data? Read below for a wild and interesting simulation study...

Nicole Long@dorsolateralpfc.bsky.social · 2y ago

My lab has a new paper out at jneuro showing that top-down task goals can induce the retrieval state even during novel items — suggesting that internal attention may be recruited in service of the attempt to access a stored representation. www.jneurosci.org/content/44/3...

Our department's team is joining BlueSky: Check out and follow Dr. Mariana Teles, the Director of the Cognitive Science Program in the Department of Psychology. She focuses on cognitive science-based interventions aimed at enhancing students' learning and cognitive aging!

BIG Opportunity: Deputy Director of Research This is a very important, new role at COS that might be perfect for someone that has been leading an academic research lab and is excited about the idea of applying those skills to assess & improve the research culture. ats.rippling.com/cos-careers/...

Our Hugh Scott Hamilton Professor of Psychology, Dr. Eric Turkheimer (@ent3c.bsky.social) just released his new book: "Understanding the Nature-Nurture Debate". A must read...

Eric Turkheimer@ent3c.bsky.social · 2y ago

Finally! Twenty bucks, cheap!

At our Department, we have a very strong Quantitative Methods Program. Now there's a starter pack of Quant Methods here, so you can easily follow accounts interested in the field.
