I've been asked a lot in the media about raw-dogging boredom - and I just think it's dumb (original title for this @psychologytoday.bsky.social was "Raw-dogging boredom is dumb" - apparently that was offensive!) Here's my take: www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mode...

Starting a new blog @psychologytoday.bsky.social - hope you enjoy it www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mode... This first one has the ever-present psychology myth himself - Mr. Phineas Gage!

A snippet of this week's episode of The Sport Psych Show with Katja Rewitz. Katja and I speak about a fascinating paper she led which examines the explore-exploit framework related to decision making in sport and exercise. Listen to here buff.ly/2kubwcI

We had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Lorenz Assländer (Uni Konstanz) to our #DHPRlab meeting. He spoke about the cybernetics of human balance -how the nervous system integrates sensory cues to maintain stability- and about Augmented Visual Orientation Cues technology. Thank you, @cybal.bsky.social🙏

Interested in decision-making in sport? @katjarewitz.bsky.social joined @danabrahamspsych.bsky.social on The Sport Psych Show to talk about how athletes decide under pressure. If you want to go deeper, Katja has also published a very cool paper on the topic: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New episode of The Sport Psych Show! On this week's episode "Exploit or Explore: Decision Making in Sport" I speak with University of Hamburg PhD student Katja Rewitz. Katja's research focuses on human sensations and their influence on decision-making and performance behaviour

New #DHPRLab preprint by @katjarewitz.bsky.social together with @wanjawolff.bsky.social and @mbieleke.bsky.social 🙌🏼 Check out Katja’s post below, in case you're interested! ⬇️

New preprint 📢 w/ @wanjawolff.bsky.social & @mbieleke.bsky.social we tracked boredom during a cycling task. Perceived effort generally increased over time – boredom didn't. Boredom varied strongly across individuals, and its dynamics predicted persistence beyond effort 📖 osf.io/preprints/ps...

We had the pleasure of welcoming Prof. Dr. Erik Bijleveld from Radboud University to our #DHPRlab meeting. He talked about effort and fatigue, when and why people get fatigued, and their relation to decision-making. Thank you for taking the time and inspiring discussions! 🙏 @erikbij.bsky.social

This chat with @nautil.us is pretty much unedited - and I'm really happy with that. Raw-dogging boredom is just stupid IMHO nautil.us/why-the-do-n...

How do we achieve few-shot generalization? New work led by @fabianrenz.bsky.social dives into the role of replay in learning and using structure to generalize reward.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Prof. Dr. Amitai Shenhav from UC Berkeley to our #DHPRlab meeting. He told us about neural and computational mechanisms of motivation, affect, and decision-making Thank you for taking the time and for the really engaging discussions @ashenhav.bsky.social🙏

Inspiring talk at our research colloquium yesterday! 🧠 Using very cool games (🦀🎰🐷🃏), @sebraem.bsky.social showed when and how individuals flexibly adapt their learning across different environments. We enjoyed a day packed of valuable discussions and delicious food!

Another great joint event with @cmdn-lab.bsky.social before the winter break! It was wonderful to visit each other’s labs again and enjoy a fun evening together ✨ Already looking forward to the next one!

How Effortful Is Boredom? Studying Self-Control Demands Through Pupillometry, from Vanessa Radtke, @wanjawolff.bsky.social, and @corimartarelli.bsky.social #RegisteredReport doi.org/10.1525/coll...

I really enjoyed talking about investigating dynamic decision strategies in sports using the explore-exploit framework at #ISSP in Hong Kong. If you're interested in our recently published work on this topic ➡️ doi.org/10.1016/j.ps...

Truly enjoyed sharing some empirical data on one of our key points at #ISSP in Hong Kong: People minimize effort & especially time costs for their exercise goals, even when they know it’s not the most effective way! w/ @corimartarelli.bsky.social, @mbieleke.bsky.social, and @wanjawolff.bsky.social

A “Nutri-Score". But for the lab 😁 Had a blast presenting our thoughts on optimal lab technology for complex questions at #ISSP in Hong Kong. Interested? Check out our @cmdn-lab.bsky.social & @dhprlab.bsky.social preprint w/ @sgluth.bsky.social & Johannes Keyser: osf.io/preprints/ps...

The Real Reason the Last Decade of Our Life Seems to Fly By. My Psychology Today blog on our latest empirical discovery with Alice Teghil as to why time speeds up as we grow older. It is not related to autobiographical memory but to cognitve decline. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/sens...

📺 A TV team from NDR visited our @dhprlab.bsky.social to learn about our current research & why boredom plays a powerful role in human behavior. You can spend three (German, but hopefully not boring) minutes watching it here: www.ndr.de/fernsehen/se... P.S. Thumbnail is not footage from our lab 😁

📢 New paper 🤩 w/ @katjarewitz.bsky.social & @corimartarelli.bsky.social, we used Bayesian network analyses to study the relationship between exercise boredom, effort value & self-reported exercise behavior. TL;DR: high boredom & low value -> less exercise www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Truly enjoyed this talk held by Dr. Johannes Seiler 🎉 Interesting to discuss boredom as a signal that feels aversive but also secures us from stagnation 🙌🏼 Thanks for taking your time 👍🏼

Great pleasure to host Dr. Johannes Seiler in our #DHPRLab meeting! He gave a fascinating talk on how boredom drives exploration and information-seeking, and how neural entropy underlies this process across species. Thank you for sharing your time and insights 🙏

This week we had another awesome guest in our #DHPRLab meeting: Prof. Dr. Erin Gerlach told us about the empirical educational research perspective and how it connects to practice through inspiring projects. Thank you for taking the time! 🙏

📺 In the German primetime TV show JENKE Experiment, participants endured three hours of boredom - with a few theory-driven curveballs 😁 A vivid reminder that doing “nothing” can be tough & that boredom really matters. Very excited to have contributed to this project. www.joyn.de/bts/serien/j...
