...many leaders in the field are still seeking prestige from a few for-profit, rent-seeking journals.
He then pointed us to better publication practices:

People and LLMs evaluate deliberative reasoning more favorably than intuitive thinking—even when both yield accurate results. This preference appears to be intuitive itself and has implications for how we assess others’ and AI advise.

Happy to share that my first paper is out in Thinking & Reasoning! 📄📢
With Aikaterini Voudouri, @boissinesther.bsky.social & @wimdeneys.bsky.social we show that deliberate reasoning helps not just to correct but also to justify intuitive judgments.

Had a great week at the 2025 Summer Institute on Bounded Rationality at @mpib-berlin.bsky.social.
Super interesting talks & workshops on various aspects of decision-making and a great opportunity to discuss the latest work in the field!
Many thanks to the organizers, speakers & participants!

A correlation between using #AI and lower #criticalThinking went viral: doi.org/10.3390/soc1...
Many accepted the title's implied causation: "AI Tools... IMPACT... Critical Thinking"
Few mentioned that the correlation
- interacts with #education
- diminishes (quadratic term)

New preprint: “Folk Thinking, Fast and Slow: Intuitive Preference for Deliberation in Humans and Machines”
Pop culture often praises intuition (“Blink”, Steve Jobs). But do we really trust it? Across 13 studies, we find a strong intuitive preference for deliberation.

Very happy to have had the opportunity to present the work we conducted with Aikaterini Voudouri, @boissinesther.bsky.social and @wimdeneys.bsky.social at the 2024 International Conference on Thinking #ICT2024!
Many thanks to those who followed the session!

How does justification relate to performance on heuristics biases tests?
@nicolasbeauvais.bsky.social and colleagues incorporated justification into both fast and slow conditions.
I couldn't hear everything so I'll defer to Nicolas for answers to questions about the methods, results, conclusions.
