(1/7)📢 New paper by Vera Hoorens, felixhermans.bsky.social, and Susanne Bruckmüller in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social : “Why Boys Cry and Don’t Cry. The Contextual-Statistical (ConStat) Approach to the Perceived Validity of Generics”. A small 🧵and link to the paper below!

We often hear from reviewers: "what about demand effects?" So we developed a method to eliminate them. Something weird happened during testing: We couldn’t detect demand effects in the first place! (1/8)

It was a pleasure introducing PsyNet and its many applications at the Laboratory for Experimental Social Psychology today! Thanks @felixhermans.bsky.social for the invitation and all PsyNet developers, incl. @pmcharrison.bsky.social and @norijacoby.bsky.social for creating such an amazing platform!

Tremendously grateful to @elinevg.bsky.social for providing an introduction to PsyNet (www.psynet.dev) at the Laboratory for Experimental Social Psychology in KU Leuven today! PsyNet is a new platform uniquely suited to crafting complex experimental designs in an efficient manner!

I had a fantastic time at the Computational Social Cognition Summer School at U of Birmingham! What an amazing resource & opportunity for students. Thanks to organizers @drjocutler.bsky.social Lei Zhang and @thepsychologist.bsky.social & the speakers, instructors, and students!

Warning: this is *not* fake news! New preprint out w/ S. Kunkle & @kobedesender.bsky.social on how confidence-driven information seeking is suboptimal in the context of fake news 📰🔍🧵 (1/6): osf.io/preprints/ps...

I had a great time in Birmingham learning and connecting with people about computational social cognition #CSC2025. Thanks Dr. Ili Ma & @alosecaatv.bsky.social for being great group leaders, and thanks to @drjocutler.bsky.social & @lei-zhang.bsky.social and everyone else for a great summer school

Amazing kick start to the Birmingham - Leiden #CSC2025 summer school from @drjocutler.bsky.social with her introductory lecture "Introduction to Computational Modelling: Theory"

#Day1 #CSC2025 Amazing insights on neural dynamics of good conversation by Prof. Diana Tamir from Princeton Uni. Followed by lectures on effort based discounting modelling.

#Day3 #CSC2025 Last day. Fantastic tutorial on bayesian modeling by @lei-zhang.bsky.social. Lectures on basis functions for social decisions @mkwittmann.bsky.social and social learning mechanisms. We presented our group work on empathy RL, thanks to @annesaulin.bsky.social for her mentorship. 🤗

#Day2 #CSC2025 keynote on on modelling prejudices in social interactions by @davidamodio.bsky.social followed by a comprehensive tutorial on drifting diffusion modelling. 📊 Day ended with a walking tour of the city ✌️

Had a great time attending the Birmingham-Leiden Computational Social Cognition Summer School this week! Thanks to everyone who was part of #CSC2025 and especially to @drjocutler.bsky.social & @lei-zhang.bsky.social for leading the organization! 10/10 would recommend! More info on www.compsoccog.com
