Here's a question in probability that seems simple, however I can't figure out how to answer properly. Help, please.... A and B are simple events. P(AUB)=1, 0<P(A∩B)< P(A), and 0<P(A∩B)< P(B). True/False: P(A)>P(A|B) And ideas?

New paper alert! In a new study led by Shalva Kvitelashvili we developed a novel task to investigate how people voluntarily use their visual working memory. Spoiler: we tend to underutilize our memory capacity. Check it out! rdcu.be/dDKmq

In these terrible times, I urge professional societies in psychology to speak up clearly for Israel and to condemn the atrocities committed by Hamas. Your voices matter. Silence is not an option. #StandWithIsrael #HamasisISIS

New paper!   People often do not remember information they just searched for (link.springer.com/article/10.3...).   Subjects were asked to draw the contents of their memory immediately after searching for a target in a natural scene  Thread!
Alt: An image showing two visual scenes, both indoor rooms, and also two sketches that people drew of those scenes.

Excited to share this short & sweet article I wrote with @samhforbes.bsky.social! Teaching coding inclusively: if this, then what? doi.org/10.31235/osf... The title perhaps says it all; we show through arguments and examples what women experience in programming class and what to do to remedy it.
