Naturally, this is an open educational resource: It is free and will forever stay free. We are also considering making it a living book: There are a few areas that we think deserve more attention. If you are an expert on something that you think is missing from this work, please get in touch!

Thoroughly enjoyed presenting a 3-minute Rapid Talk at #CAGR2025, about our cognitive psychology study. We found that Lower Caution, not Inhibitory Control, predicts Higher Gambling Severity.

Thank you to the best supervisors:

I was already convinced by the PDF argument but you've convinced me about excel, too! Seeing/knowing the structure is important.

Yes, I had the same thought! Makes it harder/more work for someone to run reproducible analyses. But the same could then be said for a read-only excel file...
