Q on 'post-hoc' equivalence tests: Say I found a null result I want to investigate, given that I learned about e.g. TOST *after* having seen the data, how to set equivalence bounds? minimal detectable effect given design's power? prereg followup study? something else? (Daniël Lakens?)

One more example of why we should scrap the teaching of ANOVA and its battery of assumption-checks from the stats curriculum. Teach a student linear regression and you feed them for a lifetime.

I procrastinated again by starting a tutorial on "cognitive models" (stats models that fit well reaction time data) in #Julia dominiquemakowski.github.io/CognitiveModel… I'm quite happy about the animations I managed to make. Julia has a lot of potential!

The hardest thing to explain to non-academics is how different technical rigor is across fields. Here's (yet another) article in PNAS, of course handled by Fiske, of course in psych, that we would have desk rejected. Paper is "Can Names Shape Facial Appearance?" 1/n

This is amazing work. Highly recommend checking out the preprint linked in the article - the discussion in particular is a well-written, sassy takedown of the whole field.

Well, today we find our heroes flying along smoothly… statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2024/09/24/wel…

“We conclude that relying solely on traditional interaction terms in linear models can be misleading.”

A vision science classic from Li Zhaoping that I somehow overlooked till now: feeding the top images into your left/right eyes gives the bottom percept, but most people still saccade first to the isolated right-eye bar even though there’s nothing consciously different about it.

Interested in how the internal and external processes work together to support efficient behaviour?! Check our latest findings where we tracks the internal and external selections simultaneously in a visual search task that relies on both processes doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Exciting updates! I defended my PhD under Heleen Slagter in January—'Learning What Matters: How to Pay Attention in a Volatile World'—and today, I’m starting as a Research Associate in the Paul Bays at Cambridge. Looking forward to new challenges ahead!

We are excited to announce that Chris Jungerius is joining the team of organizers of WMS 2025! With him joining, the prep for the party is in full throttle!

Can you believe that WMS2025 (July 8-11) is less than a week away? If you are interested in Working Memory Research, WMS2025 is THE BEST online conference with THE AWESOMEST community of researchers across the globe! So DON'T FORGET TO CHECK IT OUT! wmsymposium.org/home

How can we reform science? I have some ideas. But I am not sure you’ll like them, because they don’t promise much. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07/0…
