Hey cognitive psychologists. When does this mean we will no longer be able to ask people to draw a US penny? Always great to recreate the classic study by Nickerson & Adams (1979) showing that people can't recall an object they've looked at hundreds or thousands of times.

**NEW STUDY ALERT** Parents want to help their children succeed. But what if they don't know what they don't know? Yet we've lacked a comprehensive, scalable tool to quickly assess what parents and educators know—and where their knowledge gaps lie. We have one now: ideas.repec.org/p/feb/artefa...

Fascinating study, and very important for understanding how misinformation could spread. My colleagues @sarahrezaei.bsky.social studied something similar but in a different context: does generating misinformation lead to better discernment? The preprint is here: osf.io/xsk4p/resour...

Here's our latest paper in the brand new @oxfordunipress.bsky.social Intersections: Social Media section. We were looking for an interdisciplinary outlet for this paper, and OxInt worked out great! key results below: doi.org/10.1093/9780...

Looks like a great and super interesting paper!
