Photovoice Exhibition 29th - 31st October at Trinity Business school led by Dr. Claire Howlin. ‘How Music and Arts Support Neurodiversity’ will showcase photos and stories from neurodivergent adults about how creativity helps them thrive. Join us for the LAUNCH Oct 30th @dancingresearch.bsky.social

Now out in JEP: General, "How working memory and reinforcement learning interact when avoiding punishment and pursuing reward concurrently" psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-... Preprint with final version: osf.io/preprints/ps... 1/n

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper! We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media. Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑 doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

New preprint from the lab on habit learning in compulsivity from the fantastic @kellydonegan.bsky.social! ✅ N=1000, ✅ pre-registered, ✅ within-person crossover design...we study individual differences in habit learning using the Neureka App

The good news? If there’s more than one mechanism driving compulsive behaviour, there’s likely more than one way to intervene! We talk about this in our @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social review @eikekofi.bsky.social @parnianrafei.bsky.social www.cell.com/trends/cogni...

🚨PREPRINT ALERT🚨 Why do some people get stuck doing things that no longer make sense, or are even harmful? Our new study shows compulsivity isn’t just about weakened goal-directed control; people high in compulsivity also form stronger habits 📄: osf.io/preprints/ps... #PaperFairy #Habits #CogSci

New preprint! Habits should get stronger with more practice, right? Well, this crucial result has been difficult to reproduce in human labs. In an instant classic, de Wit (2018) showed 5 failures in obtaining more evidence of habits in conditions with more training -as compared to little trained

In February 2024, I wrote Scientific Reports about a published meta-analysis claiming that mindfulness interventions affect neural plasticity, 'cementing the neuropsychological basis of mindfulness-based interventions'. The paper was retracted yesterday—here a little summary of the process.🧵

You happen to be at #CPConf2025 and interested in habitual processes and how they contribute to compulsivity? We've gathered data from 180 individuals across three different compulsion types including phone-checking (not reflected in the DSM!). Come visit me at poster 2.46!

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

@glassybrain.bsky.social (Vanessa Teckentrup) will present "Understanding habitual properties of compulsivity using moment-to-moment experience sampling in daily life" with 6 weeks of EMA data tracking OCD, Binge-Eating and Phone-checking compulsions!📱https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/yvhua_v1

@kellydonegan.bsky.social will present "Compulsivity is associated with an increase in stimulus- response habit learning"📱,which we are 🤏 close to pre-printing. So 🙏 give us your thoughts and ideas!

🚨 New paper alert! Do time constraints reveal habitual behaviour? 🤔 We directly compared two major paradigms in the habit research field (Outcome Devaluation vs Response Remapping) under identical training and forced-response conditions 🧠 ⏲️ ⌨️ preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Hello #Bluesky!👋 I’m late to the party, but excited to join! 🥳Sharing a recent moment at #RLDM2025: presented a poster on my recent PhD project on measuring time-dependent habits in the lab 🧠 – shared fresh findings, and discovered brilliant research while helping the organisers behind the scenes! 👩‍💻

We @smfleming.bsky.social, Marion Rouault and @seowxft.bsky.social and I) have posted a reply osf.io/preprints/ps... to a preprint that recently raised concerns about the validity of associations between mental health and metacognition from online studies. I hope you can take the time to read it.

Very happy to see this published open-access in Behavior Research Methods now 🤗 #neuroskyence doi.org/10.3758/s134...

In our preprint "Limited evidence for reduced learning rate adaptation in anxious-depression, before or after treatment", led by @stephsuddell.bsky.social and Lili Zhang, we fail to find a robust association between anxious-depression and learning rate adaptation osf.io/preprints/ps...
