I suggested a “drink when you see an AI posting challenge” with a friend and she pointed out I would be dead if I tried it.

In a new pub, we examined subgroup differences in Asian American children, particularly 1) the diversity of math achievement and 2) what factors predict this diversity. Ultimately, we wanted to see whether the factors predicting math achievement is the same across subgroups.

Orange theory class playlist today included: UGK, Sean Paul, Jay-Z (pre Black album) and Andre 3000. Between this and new age “weapons of mass destruction” it feels like high school all over again.

The 'revelation' here is a bizarre NYT hit piece on a researcher who said she wanted to make sure her findings were accurate before publishing them.

Justice Thomas, concurring, casts doubt on medical standards: "Recent revelations suggest that WPATH, long considered a standard bearer in treating pediatric gender dysphoria... bases its guidance on insufficient evidence and allows politics to influence its medical conclusions."

This is a deeply problematic decision by Wiley!

This decision is not only PCI-hostile. It has far-reaching preprint-hostile consequences.

I hope this is all based on a big misunderstanding that Wiley will soon be able to resolve. Wiley should rapidly rectify its highly problematic decision.

NEW: Statement from the PCI RR Managing Board on the withdrawal of Infant and Child Development as a PCI RR-friendly journal, and the decision by Wiley to refuse preprints that have been peer-reviewed by @peercommunityin.bsky.social / @pci-regreports.bsky.social

Read here ➡️ osf.io/tn8mh

In 2024, Infant and Child Development (ICD) withdrew as a PCI RR-friendly journal and reneged on three Stage 1 recommendations issued by PCI RR. In addition, Wiley – the publisher of ICD – notified PCI RR and the PCI core team of its decision to withdraw all Wiley journals from PCI and PCI RR, including an additional 9 PCI-friendly journals. Finally, Wiley appears to have banned all of its ~1600 journals from considering submissions that have been previously reviewed by PCI or PCI RR. This statement explains the history of ICD joining PCI RR and developments that led to the current outcome. The PCI RR Managing Board believes that this shift in policy to become “PCI-hostile” renders Wiley journals incompatible not only with community-based preprint review but with preprint archiving in general.

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!

Akira Miyake @amiyake.bsky.social · May 29

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.

I'm not teaching this term, so rather than working this out with my students I will subject you to it. My read of this (tentative) pronouncement on AI in K-12.

1) It see grift & profit-seeking for Trump & co.
2) Fed power in ed is limited, can incentivize > require.

3)THIS IS ABOUT WOMEN. 🧵

Draft executive order outlines plan to integrate AI into K-12 schools

A policy under consideration by the White House and seen by The Post instructs federal agencies on how to incorporate artificial intelligence into classrooms.

I will not stand for this cake slander but I know that we can ALL agree that cupcakes are an abomination and should be wiped off the face of the earth.

Cake is terrible. All pies are superior to cake. And the best pie is key lime.

Also a (smaller) change on "how do you feel interpreting information presented in a graph, table, or chart", but no change in math anxiety or test anxiety which means Ss aren't just being more generous overall.

The best thing about assigning a final paper for ug intro stats where students pick a question based on their own survey data, ID the right analysis, and write it up is that I get to test whether responses to "How do you feel about statistics (1-5)?" has changed from start of semester to end.
