Very happy to be a part of this! More coming soon!

I have the immense pleasure of of announcing that @psl-univ.bsky.social and @cognitionens.bsky.social have granted me an HDR diploma (i.e. the highest qualification in French academia). This wouldn't have been possible without @stepalminteri.bsky.social and the INCREDIBLE team at HRL/LNC2. Thank you

Oh heck yes! Wonder if I'll finally be able to drop Matlab for the remaining capricious RL models I have and go full R once and for all...

Amazing, dare I say mandatory, new resource

Like if they lead nation-wide committees that could end your career forever if they blacklisted you, so they get away with discrimination? Asking for a friend...

Most intriguing!!

Comparing experience- and description-based economic preferences across 11 countries - Nature Human Behaviour Anlló et al. show that context effects on reward value encoding are found across 11 diverse countries, suggesting that this may be a basic feature of human decision-making.

I'm sure you saw that all data is available for our 11-country study www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hmmmm. I get what's going on here, but indeed the only way to conclusively debunk this IMO is to replicate in rural areas and non-urban ethnic groups. As I see it now (pun intended) the effect is clearly low level in origin, but culture could defo determine its instantiation.

End of an era? I also cited this study :o

We're getting there people!!

Fascinating work!

Epistemic biases in human reinforcement learning: behavioral evidence, computational characterization, normative status and possible applications.

A quite self-centered review, but with a broad introduction and conclusions and very cool figures.

Few main takes will follow

Worth also pointing out that there are many "tests so easy no AI system can pass them".

Moravec's paradox remains.

E.g., arxiv.org/abs/2404.12390

Do include me please!

Lovely, thanks for sharing. Open for a chat indeed!

What a cautionary tale waiting to happen this is!!

This!!!!!! A plague in EEG and fMRI

It will do, it will do *faints into oblivion*

One of my personal stats heroes E J Wagenmakers has just liked one of my goofy comments. I can't begin to explain my excitement. Now I'm just missing @bbolker.bsky.social, and I can retire in peace.

Yes. I mean hell, half of the psychologists i know don't fully understand how linear regression works so...

I want in!

Feeling seen, graphical description

Here's the official link to our latest paper!

New paper!
We previously showed that people are more likely to follow advice than observed behavior.
@anllohernan.bsky.social asks whether this behavior makes sense - are people more likely to give advice when they are knowledgeable?
The answer is yes, but it depends on advice consequences👇

A biiiiiig thanks to my co-authors, everyone who gave me feedback and to the Marie Curie initiative for funding this as part of my project. Follow-ups coming soon!

If you want to see more (or you saw the poster at CCN or SNE and want to see the whole picture) do click on the link and come see what the work is about! I for one I'm happy that listening to others in non-competing settings is actually a good maximization strategy! [faith in humanity restored]

Also (as shown in the picture above), factors like social anxiety modulated tendency to give advice actually rendering advice-givers more responsible and mindful of information shared. Note that while imposing cost on advice changed advice frequency, for the most part did not compromise its quality

Long story short, we found that a third of people will share advice compulsively (even without any added incentive). But the rest of them would actually think before sharing, and propagate advice that was backed by their experiential knowledge. Thus, heeding advice gives access to curated knowledge.

Sharing your choice as advice to others was either (1) totally free of cost or incentive, (2) costed a bit of money, (3) exposed your performance socially in a public scoreboard (social cost), or (4) was done accepting the responsibility that future participants had to use your advice as feedback.
