Reminds me of Border et al. (2019) on the serotonin transporter gene and this great blogpost: slatestarcodex.com/2019/05/07/5... 450 (!) preceding studies on the topic, most of them with a positive association. Then came Border et al.'s very large and well-conducted study reporting a null-finding.

I reviewed 5+ fMRI papers on response inhibition within roughly the last year, and the same points come up over and over again. So I wrote a short note last week entitled "The unique limitations of BOLD-fMRI in the study of response inhibition". You can read it here. osf.io/preprints/ps...

"The problem is not simply that cross-species translation is difficult; it is that the field has largely accepted this difficulty rather than treating it as a central scientific challenge. Neuroscience has also struggled to confront the fact that different species often tell different stories."

”Most of the applications of clustering are not well thought out, not even considering whether observation clustering aligns with clinical goals.” YES. Clustering has become a huge fad in psychology as well, I see it everywhere.

New draft: "Decline effects, statistical artifacts, and a meta-analytic paradox". In this manuscript I show how a common practice in meta-analysis (eg the 2015 Open Science Collaboration) creates artifactual signatures of poor scientific behavior. PDF: raw.githubusercontent.com/richarddmore... 1/x

Is the decline effect similar to what Fiedler/Prager talk about here? www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Yes, the choice of replication sample size in the OSC was strange. Lakens and I made a similar point here: github.com/richarddmore... (unpublished manuscript). The gist is that 1) under OSC conditions it would be nearly impossible to tell if two studies are "similar" and 2) you're >

It's distinct, but our model here effectively (I think) would find (finds?) the same phenomenon. When we calculate magnitude error, we code in the typical signing of effects such that it's expected to see declines even in the absence of poor scientific behavior. osf.io/preprints/so...

If you have about 20 minutes, I would be grateful if you could help my undergraduate student explore whether common empathy questionnaires are actually interchangable in the ways they are used in the social science literature.

Warning: My brother-in-law was using Claude to generate code. Although the numbers looked reasonable, a bit of code bothered him enough to ask Claude if the code worked properly. Claude admits it just made data bases up, put random # in tables, etc. to “please” him.

After a provocation from Todd Kashdan I wrote up some frustrations I have with "wellbeing science", specifically the idea that it was born with life satisfaction scales. I think this belief is untrue and unhelpful. profmarkfabian.substack.com/p/airing-my-...

I posted a bit here if it helps. The metabolism underlying BOLD is complex, and also involves nonoxidative metabolism. There is some recent work, including our review (see the thread), that incorporates this other metabolic evidence into interpretation of BOLD. bsky.app/profile/jthe...

there is pretty solid evidence about a mismatch here (see Buzsáki et al. (2007) on the relative contributions of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation to BOLD signal and why inhibitory activity, may not be fully “seen” with fMRI), regardless of what one may think
