Proud to be part of this. Somehow, I keep doing stuff about propositional (verbal) learning. In this preprint, VMAC is deeply affected by such learning. But it couldn´t revert the VMAC effect completely, so probably there + than 1 cognitive system producing the final effect (the more the merrier)

Psychology has a whole cottage industry in which people come up with some construct that is essentially "attitudes/beliefs/expectations/feelings about X", and then the central claim is that this construct is a super important determinant of future X outcomes.>

"Even when results are ultimately reproducible, they require substantial effort: instead of being ‘push-button’ reproducible, analyses often require sifting through authors’ code, reorganizing files, deciphering opaque datasets and fixing coding errors."

Do researchers share their code upon request? Does running their orginal code on the original data produce the original results? We provide evidence in a new Royal Society Open Science publication. Studying more than 1,000 articles which use data from the European Social Survey, we find that... 🧵

Good article on consequences of low peer review participation. Given that most papers get 2-3 reviews, all scientists should review at least twice as many papers as they submit.

The "publish or perish" culture must perish. Scientists need time to think. We just published our Slow Science Manifesto, where we argue that huge changes are needed in the way we fund, publish, and evaluate science. Read more and sign here: www.slow-science.com

I am looking for relatively easy to read but relevant papers about learning and conditioning, for the students enrolled in the course of Psychology of Learning (undergrads). The idea is that they have to read one paper and then make a conference type presentation. Any ideas?

Approximately 40% of all studies preregistered on the Open Science Framework are never shared publicly. That’s a lot. Researchers give several reason, and null results and bad planning (or lack of priority) are the main reasons. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Pues mira qué bien... Firmamos en la matrícula del cole que no queremos que se comparta ningún dato, ni fotos, ni nada, de nuestros hijos ni de nosotros, y para esto sirve. Y ni asomo de que nadie asuma la responsabilidad.

I don't know what annoys me more: 'Data upon request' or raw data shared in a format that makes reproducibility nearly impossible. At least the former doesn't waste your time 🫠

As someone with an interest in 1) ways of enhancing extinction learning to attenuate recovery and 2) assessing the evidence for memory erasure, I read this preprint from the Namboodiri lab with attention. Here are a few thoughts on the preprint doi.org/10.64898/202...

Our new paper, with colleagues from the Strategic Council of the National Academies, offers an integrative framework of the several components that contribute to making research findings trustworthy including ethics, methodology, transparency, inclusion, assessment, etc www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Very happy that this is out www.nature.com/articles/s44.... Together with @stefankiebel.bsky.social we show that decision biases in context-dependent decision making, previously attributed to different forms of value normalization, are very well explained by habit-like action repetition.

Happy to share our article now published in #psynomBRM w/@antovami.bsky.social, @frangfr.bsky.social & @davluque.bsky.social. We tested the replicability, reliability, and convergent validity of two promising paradigms for measuring habitual control. 📄 doi.org/10.3758/s134... short 🧵 below

Just for the record, new preprint out! In a project led by the wonderful @aliciafrancomnez.bsky.social (w/ Alicia Ferrer-Mendieta, Carmen Peiro-Lanchares, and @mavadillo.bsky.social), we test how different manipulations affect the response validity of the Perceptual Awareness Scale (PAS).

I see this same pattern in psychology—there is a huge desire among early career scholars to do applied work This is very important, but including basic science perspectives still improves the research quality
