Help in reply to reviewer regarding CI Hi Everyone, A question on how to handle reviewers when reporting CI. We are doing RL and in our papers when reporting results I always try to put a figure with the whole posterior. We also tend to ...

In our papers we always plot the posterior and report median, 89%CI and probability of direction. A nice reviewer said "you should really use 95%CI". How would you reply? Would you make the change?

Here's the whole thing

Individuals with ADHD and bilinguals have each widely been considered vulnerable to vocabulary deficits compared to their peers. However, the interaction of ADHD and bilingualism in affecting vocabula...

New preprint with an exciting and unexpected result!
The ADHD vocabulary size advantage: Monolingual and bilingual young adults with ADHD have larger vocabularies than controls. Co-authored PhD student extrodinaire Melanie Brouillard (seriously, it was all her idea).

Yes, I agree. Also good for initial learning. The example is great - thanks.

All mighty #stats
Do you know of any convenient way to stimulate hierarchical regression data in R?
I want students to be able to define population parameters (including cor for group level), factors, sample size, the linear equation, and get some synthetic data.

Yes, interesting. It's a good idea to look into associations with mood - we will certainly do that. It might just be that hyp/imp, and associated feeling of energy goes with some euphoric and desired feelings. But as you said, all these reasons can co-occur!

Great to see you here Bastien!

Will send you an empirical result, hopefully before end of year! We are re-running to see if it replicates. Also, for young adults we will ask parents/partners to see if they agree and hold similar positive attitudes.

Nice.
How about 🌱 for development if the graph icon is taken?

Great idea. Also social media might actually increase these attitudes... We haven't looked - but we can certainly do it for the next study - I will let you know :)

Tell if you do get the feed running!

What would you think is going on? Would you have a different interpretation?

The other option is that hyperactive/impulsive symptoms simply co-occur with desired tendencies such as energy, creativeness, etc. If you have more sym, you "see" better the other, more desired parts.

Good question :) One option is that this might be a "coping mechanism". More symptoms might mean ppl need to have a stronger feeling that there are good sides as well. But - if that was true - then we should have seen a positive corr for both adhd subtypes, which we didnt...

Here is the preprint with the 12 item self-report my grad student Meriav (not here yet) came up with.

@danidonovan.com @mgallen.bsky.social help me spread the word? Maybe put an adhd sci feed?

We got an effect in the opposite direction :) Turns out more hyperactivity/impulsivity, better attitudes toward adhd! This goes with the many claims by ppl with adhd saying they see many good aspects in this condition.

First post!
Our lab just posted a new preprint, where we found that positive attitudes towards adhd, are associated with adhd symptoms. We thought this will be a negative corr - more symptoms will get you to think adhd is actually not that great... but...
