Veronica Boyce

OSF

We tried very hard to study language and communication during strategic games like prisoner's dilemma. Veronica Boyce did many experiments chasing what could have been an interesting result but in the end wasn't very strong. Now she's written a nice postmortem: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Experimentology cover: title and curves for distributions.

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

How can we combine the process-level insight that think-aloud studies give us with the large scale that modern online experiments permit? In our new CogSci paper, we show that speech-to-text models and LLMs enable us to scale up the think-aloud method to large experiments!

title of paper (in text) plus author list

Time course of word recognition for kids at different ages.

Super excited to submit a big sabbatical project this year: "Continuous developmental changes in word

I Have Written You A Book On Forensic Metascience Use it to cause trouble

Friends, I have written you a book on forensic metascience.

It is free. You can have it. Happy St. Valentine's Day.

If you wish to give me a gift back, you can use it to cause trouble - the greatest gift of all.

I will be at NeurIPS starting tomorrow! Would love to chat about interpretability, linguistics, language structure, meaning in LLMs. Reach out!

Aaaand if you love Vancouver, apply to do a PhD at UBC! Fun research in a lovely place! linguistics.ubc.ca/graduate/adm...

Three ManyBabies projects - big collaborative replications of infancy phenomena - wrapped up this year. The first paper came out this fall. I thought I'd take this chance to comment on what I make of the non-replication result. 🧵

Thanks to the wonderful leadership of @vboyce.bsky.social, this is now published at doi.org/10.1525/coll...!

Thankful for the great introduction to graduate school and open science from @mcxfrank.bsky.social.

Work with Isabel! She's a lovely person who does really cool cognitively and linguistically informed NLP work.

This position is a PhD-level position, with the expectation that the RS will contribute to – and have the opportunity to lead on – research products including papers and presentations. The RS will also be part of the Language and Cognition Lab at Stanford, a broad interdisciplinary group interested in using data to understand human development. Ideal qualifications/experiences for the position include: - creating behavioral experiments (ideally for children), with attention to the small details of the participants' experience in the experiment - psychological measurement and/or psychometrics (including item response theory and/or adaptive testing) - software development using version control and project management software - web-development, including javascript/HTML/CSS, cloud-based hosting, and modern frameworks (e.g., react.js) - experience working with teams and an orientation towards managing a small team of engineers working on the project (e.g. scrum)

Do you like building great tools for behavioral measurement? We are seeking a Research Scientist to act as the tasks lead and engineering manager for a large-scale project on developmental data collection with children ages 2-12 called LEVANTE: levante-network.org.

This was my first time leading a "medium" team science project. It's been a great journey from early convos with Mike about "could some of the failed replications be rescued", to supervising the actual projects, to interpreting the results. I'm grateful to all my co-authors for their hard work.

When a replication fails, researchers have to decide whether to make another attempt or move on. How should we think about this decision? Here's a new paper trying to answer this question, led by Veronica Boyce and featuring student authors from my class!
