Hi, we will have three NeuroAI postdoc openings (3 years each, fully funded) to work with Sebastian Musslick (@musslick.bsky.social), Pascal Nieters and myself on task-switching, replay, and visual information routing.

Reach out if you are interested in any of the above, I'll be at CCN next week!

Last week I declared terror management theory dead and accused my friend Steve Heine of motivated reasoning. Steve responded like the mensch he is with a solid rebuttal instead of blocking me. Read his guest post and tell us both who you think is right in the comments!

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

Springer-Nature launched a series of "Discover" journals that closely mimic MDPI titles -- sharing *identical* journal names, and likely similar business model.

What is going on, and why researcher will - as always - fall for it?

👀This is impressive: Using an autonomous agent based on o3-mini and GPT-4.1, a team from Harvard, MIT & other institutions reproduced and updated an entire issue of Cochrane Reviews in two days… saving 12 person-years of work.

The AI reviews captured more papers & were more accurate than humans.

I've started to create a Google doc to compile & share cog psych teaching resources, organized by topics (e.g., attention, memory, language) & resource types.

This week, I ask you to share any in-class demos you'd like to give. Please reply to this post or tag me in a separate post. Thanks!
If you teach cognitive psychology or related topics & are willing to share your favorite teaching resources (e.g., demos, videos), please reply to/quote this post, tag me in a new post, or send me email. I'll compile them, share the list, & keep updating it this summer. Let's inspire each other!
I teach an undergrad cognitive psychology class. I've been thinking about assembling useful teaching resources (demos, videos, etc.) from other cogpsy instructors & sharing them in a single place. If there's enough interest here, I'll make a separate post & ask you to share your favorite materials.

Longitudinal research hive mind, need your input: What would you consider a satisfying set of tests to see if an apparent attenuation of difference scores could be accounted for by ceiling effects. i.e., Theory says x predicts a smaller difference in y between T-1 and T. 1/2

🔥 Most important paper I've read all year🔥
👉 Injury/disease doesn't reliably predict pain
👉 Biomarkers alone can't explain pain
👉 PSYCHOSOCIAL factors reliably determine chronic pain
👉 Painful conditions can be predicted from the SYNERGY btwn bio + psychosocial factors

Fillingim et al. show that biological and psychosocial factors jointly predict conditions associated with chronic pain.

This little devil is the cause of MSWord suddenly moving comments outside the margins into outer space where you can't see them. It somehow just started happening against my will a few months ago. Just uncheck 'enable modern comments' under preferences general, and you will regain humanity.
