And that’s a problem from a measurement perspective because if you ask people mostly about behaviours that rarely happen, the scores on the scales end up being really low, and psychometrically uninformative!

New preprint‼️
Thrilled to end 2025 with new work extending my undergrad honors thesis showing that interpretable machine learning can classify young children’s engagement in dyadic, psychotherapy-like tasks from live fNIRS data of the vlPFC and dlPFC 🧠

#Dopamine synthesis capacity is reduced in psychosis with #depression compared to mixed/mania syndromes, while positive psychotic symptoms correlate with higher dopamine synthesis in the associative striatum.

Asking once again that researchers spend even half as much time thinking about design, sampling, and measurement as they do tinkering with their favorite R package to analyze and present their results.

And if you do try to understand methods more deeply, you might hear that “you’re in the weeds,” “leave that to the statisticians” etc. I feel like I’m often trying to convince folks that we need to care about basic methods because it matters for substantive inferences we applied people want to make.
I don't understand how you can read and understand an evolving literature without keeping up with methodological developments.
What are we supposed to do, just read discussion sections and take people's word for it?
