The ability of humans to think rationally and weigh the evidence when making a choice is well known. In a new Science study, researchers report that chimpanzees can also update their beliefs on the basis of the quantity and quality of new evidence. https://scim.ag/4nAmk0Q

Interesting new preprint on the subjective experience of imagery. Does it even make sense to describe it as 'seeing', and what does a high vividness score indicate? Really great to see a push towards better characterisation of what people actually experience during imagery!

As an aside, coding open-ended responses is a good example where there are other methodological choices that come up, like whether or not to use tool-use features for classification. I think tool-use + human expertise for category development would win there!

But here’s the problem: creating a silicon sample isn’t one method. There are so, so many analytic decisions that need to be made when generating these samples. I list some in this table from the preprint, but this is very much nonexhaustive.

Can large language models stand in for human participants? Many social scientists seem to think so, and are already using "silicon samples" in research. One problem: depending on the analytic decisions made, you can basically get these samples to show any effect you want. THREAD 🧵

Fascinating data. There are three things here that really matter to people, and they think matter to everyone: Healthcare Economy Prices There is ONE thing that they assume matters to everyone, because it dominates so much of the narrative, but it is NOT affecting them personally: Immigration

Scientists increasingly assess interventions against misinformation mainly via truth discernment. Tobia Spampatti argues in Nature Climate Change that pursuing truth discernment may not be sufficiently beneficial to society if interventions do not improve behaviour and other outcomes. 🧪

Comprehensive research (N=24k, 42 nations) by @evanavaldes.bsky.social et al suggests we’re not so much inclined to support (and justify) the social systems to which we belong, as to support those systems that serve our individual or group interests: buff.ly/R1IHhQs HT @jayvanbavel.bsky.social

🚨OUT NOW: Why does it hurt when your group is rejected—even if the rejection isn’t about you?   We developed an openly available task RateME to explore how the brain processes group rejection and how it compares to personal rejection. Here’s what we found. 🧵👇

🚨📄 Now accepted at Journal of Experimental Social Psychology! Why do some people turn to extreme views after being excluded? Most studies focus on personal rejection, but what happens when it’s your group that’s rejected? We conducted a study with over 1,200 UK residents.👇
