🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨
w/ @ranimo.bsky.social 📝 osf.io/preprints/psya…

From partisan news to algorithmically curated content, we constantly receive biased misinformation. With biased input, can our beliefs be accurate?

Turns out, biased misinformation distorts our beliefs! 👇🧵 1/13

Our "I would have seen it if it were there" paper — a collaboration with @ranimo.bsky.social and @clarepress.bsky.social — is now out in Psych. Review.

There’s a lot in this paper, but here are what I see as the 3 main takeaways:

psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

The title of the paper, "Beliefs about Perception Shape Perceptual Inference: An Ideal Observer Model of Detection", with the author names, and Fig. 1: a schematic of an inverse optics account of vision.
