Thank you so much!! Super helpful :)

This is a good thought. I need to look into Qualtrics capabilities!!

@mehr.nz @manvir.bsky.social thinking of your music research! Have you ever needed a per-user track count?

I am designing a study in which participants will be asked to listen to audio tracks daily for a month. I want to be able to track how many times each participant listens to each track. Does anyone have experience with a platform that does this (or customizing/making one yourself?) Thanks!!

Interested in understanding how young humans think about social relationships? I am reading PhD applications this year! **Please note**, that Harvard now requires the GRE. More information here: www.ashleyjthomas.com/workwithme

It’s grad school application season, and I wanted to give some public advice.

An array of 9 purple discs on a blue background. Figure from Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt.

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue.

The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea.

pc to my friend, Prof. Zara Anwarzai who invited me and a shoutout to that hexagram, which changed my life when I first came upon it as a senior in high school!!

white woman in a blazer (me) in the middle of giving a talk, standing in front of a display which says "What is Cognitive Science?"

I got to give a talk today for Simon Fraser University's Defining Cognitive Science Colloquium. I opened with the CogSci hexagram, talked about cross-disciplinary collaboration, and gave an overview of recent research on spiritual experience! Everyone there was so lovely and I had a blast 🥰

Interesting. Is there any vocal pushback? (If so, what is the response to vocal pushback or even just voiced concerns?)

(For context I feel the ambient pressure of online hype but I am a remote postdoc and so might be shielded from other kinds of pressure!)

Sorry to jump in, but I am genuinely curious--what are the sources of the "near-insurmountable pressure to incorporate these tools into workflow" in your life? Is your university or department putting some kind of pressure on you?

Models as Prediction Machines: How to Convert Confusing Coefficients into Clear Quantities Abstract Psychological researchers usually make sense of regression models by interpreting coefficient estimates directly. This works well enough for simple linear models, but is more challenging for more complex models with, for example, categorical variables, interactions, non-linearities, and hierarchical structures. Here, we introduce an alternative approach to making sense of statistical models. The central idea is to abstract away from the mechanics of estimation, and to treat models as “counterfactual prediction machines,” which are subsequently queried to estimate quantities and conduct tests that matter substantively. This workflow is model-agnostic; it can be applied in a consistent fashion to draw causal or descriptive inference from a wide range of models. We illustrate how to implement this workflow with the marginaleffects package, which supports over 100 different classes of models in R and Python, and present two worked examples. These examples show how the workflow can be applied across designs (e.g., observational study, randomized experiment) to answer different research questions (e.g., associations, causal effects, effect heterogeneity) while facing various challenges (e.g., controlling for confounders in a flexible manner, modelling ordinal outcomes, and interpreting non-linear models).

Figure illustrating model predictions. On the X-axis the predictor, annual gross income in Euro. On the Y-axis the outcome, predicted life satisfaction. A solid line marks the curve of predictions on which individual data points are marked as model-implied outcomes at incomes of interest. Comparing two such predictions gives us a comparison. We can also fit a tangent to the line of predictions, which illustrates the slope at any given point of the curve.

A figure illustrating various ways to include age as a predictor in a model. On the x-axis age (predictor), on the y-axis the outcome (model-implied importance of friends, including confidence intervals). Illustrated are 1. age as a categorical predictor, resultings in the predictions bouncing around a lot with wide confidence intervals 2. age as a linear predictor, which forces a straight line through the data points that has a very tight confidence band and 3. age splines, which lies somewhere in between as it smoothly follows the data but has more uncertainty than the straight line.

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)
