Our daily lives are packed w complex behaviours: reading a novel & piecing together the plot; negotiating decisions w family... How do we build mathematical models of the underlying cognitive mechanisms? Our new preprint osf.io/d2v54_v1 argues for a community approach A 🧵 1/
Fresh out: a short review article where I give an overview of different ways that across-trial temporal structure is helpful in understanding cognitive models of decision-making

It was a cold that got into the bone, into the marrow, and would not be dislodged.
Table 2. Bivariate correlations between the study's variables.
Table 4. Multivariate models predicting overload from about a dozen variables. Only time in meetings and time doing email predicted variance in overload, and both variables predicted more (not less) overload.
Information about the sample
Re: "this meeting could have been an #email"
Email can ALSO predict #burnout *at least* as much as meetings.
A study of 79 employees found time on BOTH meetings AND email predicted "overload" above other factors: doi.org/10.1287/orsc...

Any good advice on bot prevention for online studies?
We usually use well regulated subject pools, so haven't had a problem before. But a student is struggling with a study where she has to use social media networks to find pps with specific language backgrounds.
Dankbaar aan alle collega's en studenten in het land die vanmiddag in de stromende regen op het Malieveld stonden. (En een stukje extra dankbaar aan iedereen uit Groningen, Maastricht of Heerlen, voor al die uren extra reistijd)

Congratulations to my amazing PhD student Marlijn Besten who defended successfully today (co-supervised by @mariejosevantol.bsky.social and Andre Aleman)! It was a beautiful defense!

Finally happening!
To remember something (e.g., a list of groceries), you can repeat the items aloud or in your mind, to remind you. What if you are trying to recall locations? Do we analogously use glances toward them to boost memory? I don't think so, and here is some new evidence against this idea. 🧵 #psychscisky

Güven Kandemir, @sophiawilhelm.bsky.social, Nikolai Axmacher & me studied color memoranda in working memory with impulse perturbation and multivariate pattern analysis. We found some interesting disparities with memory for orientations. The paper is now out in iScience:

not reproducible ≠ wrong/false/fluke
reproducible ≠ true
not reproducible ≠ poor science
reproducible ≠ good science
reproducibility of results is not a reliable indicator of truth/research quality/epistemic progress.
replication of a poorly designed study is another poorly designed study.

My paper on improving data quality for online experiments has just been accepted.
Massively improved by the reviewers - collaborative peer review at its constructive best

The School of Artificial Intelligence is looking for a Lecturer in Cognitive Science and AI. We are seeking a candidate who wants to pursue a career in academic teaching. Are you excited by teaching and student supervision? Do you want to inspire students to think critically about cognitive science and AI? Are you an interdisciplinary and collaborative academic at heart? Are you committed to diversity, equity and inclusion? Do you have strong organisational skills? If so, this position may be for you!
Profile You hold a doctoral degree, preferably in Cognitive Science, or an equivalent degree, with an interest in critical reflection on the foundations of Cognitive Science as a multidiscplinary field and the interaction between Cognitive Science and AI in science and society. You hold an academic teaching qualification or have equivalent experience with teaching, the co-ordination of courses and student supervision, or are willing to obtain such a qualification. You have competence in undergraduate teaching and are motivated to teach in an inclusive way. You are strongly committed to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), including the decolonisation of research and educational practices. You have an excellent command of written and spoken English.
We offer We will give you a temporary employment contract of one year with the prospect of an indefinite contract, conditional on availability of structural educational funding and after satisfactory review. Your salary within salary scale 11 depends on your previous education and number of years of (relevant) work experience. The amounts in the scale are based on a 38-hour working week.
