Project Implicit gives you feedback when you complete an IAT, and the IAT literature has aspired to individual level measurement since its inception.

In this article, we quantify the individual level uncertainty around these estimates and show that IAT effects can say very little about individuals.

Special issue on meta-science in Journal of Economic Psychology! Topics covered among others: expert-informed approaches, normative biases and crowd-science. Submitted papers evaluated & published on rolling basis. @i4replication.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...

Many review process stories to tell when I meet you for the next beer. 😉

The numbers in here are huge, ~$2.5bn in profits (~35% profit margin) to 4 major academic publishing houses.
How much lost research expenditure does that equate to??
Windfall tax, anyone?

Advances in genomics are giving exciting new perspectives on biology of speech, language & reading. My latest peer-reviewed paper is a tutorial, guiding readers from different backgrounds through the history of the field, current state-of-the-art, & where we’re heading. A taster in this thread.🧪

In recent years, well-powered genome scans related to speech, language & reading skills became feasible, in part via team science approaches that harmonize data across multiple cohorts, exemplified by this GenLang Consortium study of common DNA variants & psychometric measures in <34,000 people. 9/n

I have seen the same people criticize preregistration, based on highly unlikely hypotheses about why they would not be needed, or even counterproductive. Literally *none* of these critics have provided any empirical support for their criticism in the last decade. I wonder why.

Headed by our wonderful PostDoc Maristella Lunardon in cooperation with Christina Artemenko, @serenarossi.bsky.social and @krzysztofcipora.bsky.social we observed that math attitudes were more important for university choice than math anxiety.
