Hello to everyone coming to @vssmtg.bsky.social: Come see what our lab and collaborators have been working on this past year. - Lots of interesting new work on visual working memory, feature- and object-based attention, cross-modal attention, ensemble perception!

Do you know what the students are looking for in these « alternate courses »? How are they better than the real thing?

This piece hit hard for me, as it tracks with why my daughter stopped playing soccer at recess. The boys wouldn't let the girls play with them--only against them and with fewer players. But when girls scored anyway, some boys would cheat and play to hurt the girls, to the point where it wasn't fun.

stupid #stats question: in our dataset (~150 teenagers), we observe outliers (+/-3SD from the mean). However, we know from larger datasets (n ~ 1500) that their values are credible (the variability in the general population is larger than in our sample). => Do we keep or exclude our 'outliers'?

I called the dad, tried to understand his motives, and when it was clear he would not feel ok with this, we cancelled the scan. We did give the kid the GRAND TOUR though, and they still loved it but oof that was though

This is what we did. I still felt uneasy because the kid was there and willing to participate, so we also gave her the Grand Tour and showed them everything cool we could show. But this was really though indeed

Children working in markets in India could solve complex applied math problems, but they couldn't solve easier problems when presented in an academic style. Kids in school had opposite results: good on abstract problems, but terrible on an applied market (i.e., real life) problem.

Does it make sense to share a pre-print while it gets reviewed in a double-blind way? Or should we just wait?
