🇩🇪 SWOW-DE preprint and data available After more than a decade, the German free-association norms are now available for over 6,000 words based on 22,026 participants. Congratulations to @aeschbach.bsky.social Rui Mata, Kaidi Lõo & Dirk Wulff! Data + preprint: smallworldofwords.org/en/project/r...

New semantic network paper in @plosone.org with @ruimata.bsky.social at @unibas.ch and @dirkwulff.bsky.social at @arc-mpib.bsky.social! We ran large-scale simulations to test how well common behavioral tasks measure a person's semantic network. doi.org/10.1371/jour...

🚨 Applications for the 22nd Summer Institute on Bounded Rationality are now open! 🌐 Join us in Berlin @mpib-berlin.bsky.social from June 17–25, 2025 to explore "Decision Making in a Digital World". ✏️ Application deadline is March 9 - more info at 👇!! www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/research/res...

Our tutorial on mapping mental representations with free associations and the associatoR R package was published this week in @jcgntn.bsky.social! With @ruimata.bsky.social at @unibas.ch and @dirkwulff.bsky.social lff.bsky.social at @arc-mpib.bsky.social. Read open access: doi.org/10.5334/joc....

Preprint: Individual-level semantic networks are a critical ingredient for building realistic cognitive models. In our simulation, @ruimata.bsky.social, @dirkwulff.bsky.social, and I show when measurements of individual semantic networks are accurate and when they are not. 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2410.18326

Wie sieht dein mentales Lexikon aus? Mit unserem Wortassoziationsspiel möchten wir herausfinden, wie Wörter im #Gedächtnis angeordnet sind. Nimm teil! smallworldofwords.org/de #CitizenScience #Sprache

There's been lots of speculation about potential societal impacts of LLMs 🌍 In a new Nature Human Behaviour (@natureportfolio.bsky.social) article, I and 27 researchers argue that we should be thinking about those impacts through the lens of collective intelligence www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Unsere Wortassoziationsstudie zeigt nun die Häufigkeit der eigenen Assoziationen an. Zudem werden die häufigsten Assoziationen aller Teilnehmer:innen angezeigt. 5 Minuten teilnehmen und eigene Assoziationen vergleichen: smallworldofwords.org/de

I am happy to share a preprint of a tutorial with @ruimata.bsky.social and @dirkwulff.bsky.social on analyzing free associations using our new R package associatoR! Have a look... 📄 at the preprint: doi.org/10.31234/osf... 💻 at the R package: github.com/samuelae/ass...
