The CogLearn Toolkit for Unity: Validating a virtual reality paradigm for human avoidance learning - Behavior Research Methods Avoidance learning encompasses the acquisition of behaviours that enable individuals to evade or withdraw from potentially harmful stimuli, prior to their occurrence. Maladaptive avoidance is a crucia...

👉 Check out our new #CogLearn Toolkit for #Unity: we built and validated (across 5 samples) an immersive #VR paradigm for human avoidance learning. Basic version can be controlled by simple text files; more control via publicly available Unity toolkit. doi.org/10.3758/s134...

This month, we welcomed Steven Lieu as a PhD student to our team @unibonn.bsky.social. Looking forward to working with you! 🙌

Hi, can we still join? We are researching human behavior.

New from the lab: comparing CR in human Pavlovian reward conditioning/retention over 7 days across 2 samples. Bradycardia is best index of learning & retention, pupil dilation only for retention.

Calibration experiments: An alternative to multi-method approaches for measurement validation in consumer research Measurement validation in consumer research is ideally performed within the context of a multi-trait multi-method matrix (MTMM). While statistically w…

👉New review from the lab on measurement validation in social sciences. #MTMM has long been the gold standard - but is often cumbersome. We contrast it with a fresh approach: experiment-based calibration. We offer clear guidance when to use which.

The positions are going to be based at @unibonn.bsky.social, but will involve a close collaboration with @uclqsion.bsky.social , where part of the team is based.

This week, we welcome Konstantinos Armaos as a postdoc to our team @unibonn.bsky.social .

Looking forward to working with you! 🙌

** Reminder: Deadline approaching **
Come join our team! One more week to apply for our MEG researcher position. Applications are due on January 15. 🗓️

On Friday, we are pleased to welcome Professor Floris de Lange @predictivebrain.bsky.social l for a talk on "The Predictive Brain in the Natural World" at #UniklinikBonn @unibonn.bsky.social . 🎙️🧠
See the image below for details on time and location.

📢 JOB ALERT: We are looking to hire a postdoc or PhD researcher interested in working on naturalistic #neuroimaging with an wearable MEG. Apply by Jan 15 and reach out any time for more information.
