Non-academics: if you see an interesting academic paper on here and you can’t access it due to a paywall just email the author and (depending on the state of their inbox 😜) they will generally be thrilled you are interested in their work and send you a copy.

Results support claims that social, and even moral, understanding and evaluation are supported by unlearned mechanisms available in the first days after birth.

The preference for helping over hindering replicated in a preregistered experiment, and newborns in non-social controls involving approaching versus avoiding and pushing up versus pushing down an inert ball showed no systematic preferences.

New paper! Here (in Nature Communications) we (Ale Geraci, Luca Surian, Lucia Gabriella Tina, & I; work led/run by Ale) show that 5-day-old newborns selectively attend to two distinct forms of prosocial over antisocial action: approaching versus avoiding and helping versus hindering. rdcu.be/evorW

Thank you! :) I am working on a post about my take as we speak, which I will finish next week and post here! But no I didn’t try to analyze it myself, and yes we removed a lot of data but all based on pre-set exclusions. But prob we didn’t anticipate the numbers we would end up needing to exclude?

After COVID set back testing by years, we did not re-pilot the new videos. On the one hand, maybe we should have. On the other hand, aside from a lot of post-production on the videos to make everything perfectly controlled, I don’t see any reason to think there’s aren’t good helping/hindering events

Hey Brett - there sort of was - our original idea was to use videos that had worked before to elicit the phenomenon on screens. These indeed showed the expected effect size. BUT, our registered report reviewers wanted a non-social control, and we ended up having to redo all the videos for matching.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

WTF is going on here at Blue Sky? People are civil to each other. People having intelligent discussions. People are spelling things correctly. I haven’t seen any racism or sexism. I’m confused.
