Our paper on improving statistical reporting in psychology is now online 🎉 As a part of this paper, we also created the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology checklist, which researchers can use to improve their statistical reporting practices www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Ever stared at a table of regression coefficients & wondered what you're doing with your life? Very excited to share this gentle introduction to another way of making sense of statistical models (w @vincentab.bsky.social) Preprint: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Hey #memory folks, check out this new preprint by @joschadutli.bsky.social , @koberauer.bsky.social, and @leabartsch.bsky.social showing that elaboration benefits are likely driven by aiding in establishing efficient retrieval cues.

Yes, this was a really great experience! Thanks for @cvonbastian.bsky.social and @vmloaiza1.bsky.social for asking us to do this as part of #ESCOP2025! And if you are interested in having a similar workshop for your PhD Programm or similar, feel free to reach out!

Leeds WoMCog group at the #ESCoP2025 conference in Sheffield!

I’m going to present at the Blitz Talk on Friday, 6pm, at #ESCOP2025 @escop.bsky.social. The very last session, yet I’m sure with a lot of excitement! Come to listen whether engaging in your hobby predict your cognitive abilities. 🧠

Here is the paper that @mollyadelooze.bsky.social presented this morning at #escop2025 showing source amnesia for recently presented verbal information.

It’s been an excellent few days in Sheffield for #ESCoP2025! I have enjoyed so many talks, posters, and chats, and have come away feeling inspired and excited about research ideas and topics happening across labs 🤩

Tomorrow afternoon I'll be presenting my symposium talk at #ESCoP2025 titled "Meaningful and familiar stimuli support visual working memory for simple features"! See you there!

It's all starting soon 🥳 we can't wait to welcome you all to Sheffield for #ESCoP2025 🤩 @cvonbastian.bsky.social @escop.bsky.social

With less than week until #ESCOP2025, we're super excited to kick-off our conference with something truly special - an Algorave! 🤩 (1/12 👀)

Happy first day of classes! I had a stress dream that a cacophony of errors made me so late to work that I missed today's entire graduate seminar that I'm teaching this semester. But I live less than a mile away from work 🤣

New Preprint with @edamizrak.bsky.social! Performance in immediate memory tasks reflects a flexible mixture of contributions of #workingmemory and LTM. Distraction disrupts WM, while PI impairs retrieval from LTM; when both are in play, performance depends on the relative reliability of each system

A new paper (open access) by @eddiehj.bsky.social, @davidamodio.bsky.social, & colleagues. It's a useful methodological guide for researchers who want to conduct replication studies, peppered w/ some juicy (?) examples from the authors' personal experiences. (1/2) psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Another q for the stats people! People worry about collinearity (cf blog post below). Consider a scenario in which the collinear predictors are just controls to account for confounding. Including both of them doesn't impair the precision with which the effect of interest is estimated, does it?

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

I've been keeping a mental list of things that I had 100% expected about moving back to the US. One I did not expect was the fact that if you email someone a question who is not the right person to ask, then there is a very high chance that you will just not get a reply at all 🤔😆

In this commentary, I argue that student-based teaching evaluations are problematic bc ✳️ systematic biases (e.g., racism, sexism) ✳️ poor construct validity ✳️ undermine standards and learning We should evaluate teaching as seriously as we do research. Or don't do teaching evaluations.

Registration for #ESCOP2025 in Sheffield, UK, opens today at 10 am BST! 📣 The first 50 ECRs (PhD students & postdocs) registering for either of the two 2-day workshops can secure 🤩free accommodation🤩 for the entire ESCOP programme! @escop.bsky.social @sheffielduni.bsky.social @vmloaiza1.bsky.social
