In a TiCS paper, @chujunlin.bsky.social & I propose a high-dimensional model of social impressions. Existing models focus on 2–4 latent dimensions (e.g. trustworthy/warm), but they often fall apart across different contexts, cultures, & perceivers. We need a paradigm shift. shorturl.at/7GD1n (1/8)

A high-dimensional model of social impressions

People form social impressions from visual cues such as faces, which are argued by various models to arise from some limited set of fixed dimensions (e.g., trustworthiness and dominance). We argue tha...

Sharing your results - regardless of whether they support your hypothesis - is under complete control of researchers now that we have preprint servers. The fact that so much is not shared will lead to governments implementing top down regulation if we do not fix this ourselves.

What would you do when faced with a moral dilemma? Find out tomorrow, come to see our posters at #APS25DC! Board VII-48 & VII-55 Saturday, 12:30–1:30PM Columbia – APS Exhibit Hall (with @rozelinvurgun.bsky.social) Bonus: I might try to clone myself. Just for you.

Thanks @plosone.org for publishing our research!

Nevertheless, I am convinced that research on individual cognitive processes in interaction with pedagogical learning environments has huge potential and should definitely be given close attention in the future.

It is evident that our findings require further replication, particularly given the varied outcomes, positive and negative regarding achievement in the Jigsaw classroom. In a recent review, we emphasised the need for more empirical (and good quality) research on this topic. Paper here :

This result is encouraging because it shows that adapting the pedagogical learning environment can reduce the academic achievement gap for low WM students, thus making students more equal in the classroom.

Our results suggest that jigsaw benefited students with low working memory without affecting the performance of students with high working memory.

We tested 342 undergraduate students from the University of Aix-Marseille during a course on critical thinking (identification of fallacies). We tested their working memory twice, first before and then immediately after learning with jigsaw. They were then given a quiz on the fallacies.

Why specifically the working memory? Because WM is a key predictor of learning ! This function allows everyone to store and retrieve information for short periods of time, and is known to be involved in reading, comprehension and problem solving.

We employed the Jigsaw classroom, an interdependent cooperative learning method, originally developed to reduce social and racial inequalities in the classroom. We wanted to know whether its effects on academic performance were influenced by students’ cognitive abilities, such as working memory.

If you are a teacher, professor, or student looking for better ways to learn, our new paper may be of interest to you! In this naturalistic study, we observed that students with lower working memory capacity benefited from working in small groups using the jigsaw cooperative learning method. ⤵️

Dear colleagues, I am thrilled to announce open the call for our seminar, The Social & Moral Brain Seminar on the theme of Emotions, Others and Morality, at Ghent University on 16-17 October 2025. More infos on our website: thesmbseminar.sciencesconf.org #Neuroscience #SocialCognition #MoralBrain

Hello everyone! I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the Moral & Social Brain Lab at Ghent University. I study the effects of social context on moral decision making. I will share scientific and critical thinking posts here, and not excluded, from time to time, news about my cat Chomsky. À bientôt !
