New preprint: When should you use linear mixed models (LMMs), and when is repeated-measures (RM) ANOVA enough? LMMs offer greater flexibility. But does that make them a better default? My paper argues for statistical parsimony: use RM-ANOVA when both methods are appropriate. osf.io/preprints/ps...

When to Use Mixed Models and When RM-ANOVA - An Argument for Statistical Parsimony
When should researchers use linear mixed-effects models (LMMs) versus repeated-measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA) for analysing repeated-measures data? I first outline the conceptual and statist...

New preprint www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... How does the brain separate "how long was that?" from "was it longer than expected?" We designed a task in which physical duration and categorical judgment vary independently, and used EEG to separate these signals. #neuroskyence #psychscisky 1/8

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.
Experimentology cover: title and curves for distributions.

FAPESP recently announced two new calls to attract international researchers to São Paulo. Both opportunities include grant funding and scholarships, and could be interesting depending on career stage and plans. #neuroskyence #AcademicSky Here is a quick summary of each:

Thanks to everybody who chimed in! I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist. So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

Honey, we fixed Signal Detection Theory (SDT)! In this preprint, Constantin Meyer-Grant, David Kellen, Sam Harding, and I critically evaluate the (unequal-variance) Gaussian SDT model in recognition memory and pursue the Gumbel-min model as a principled alternative: doi.org/10.31234/osf... 🧵

Not sure who made this but it made me lol

I found this to be an informative and provocative read - what happened to cognitive science? Authors argue, based on bibliometric and scientometric analysis, that cognitive science as a discipline is basically dead. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

What happened to cognitive science? - Nature Human Behaviour
Núñez et al. use bibliometric and socio-institutional indicators to show that over the years, cognitive science has failed to transition to a mature, coherent, interdisciplinary field.
