A digital CAPTCHA verification window titled "Select all squares with PIPES" against a plain white background. The window contains a 3×3 grid of numbered squares, mixing literal hardware, smoking pipes, and programming syntax.

Given that each paper needs 2-4 reviewers, I think we need to review more than that. I personally try to review one paper per month.

Good article on consequences of low peer review participation.

Given that most papers get 2-3 reviews, all scientists should review at least twice as many papers as they submit.

The "publish or perish" culture must perish. Scientists need time to think.

We just published our Slow Science Manifesto, where we argue that huge changes are needed in the way we fund, publish, and evaluate science.

I am looking for relatively easy to read but relevant papers about learning and conditioning, for the students enrolled in the course of Psychology of Learning (undergrads). The idea is that they have to read one paper and then make a conference type presentation. Any ideas?

Approximately 40% of all studies preregistered on the Open Science Framework are never shared publicly. That’s a lot. Researchers give several reason, and null results and bad planning (or lack of priority) are the main reasons.

El Gobierno de Andalucía cede a Google los datos de 738.502 alumnos menores Protección de Datos amonesta a la Junta, aunque no le sanciona económicamente, por quebrar la intimidad exigida a los perfiles de 2.600 centros educativos de la región

Pues mira qué bien... Firmamos en la matrícula del cole que no queremos que se comparta ningún dato, ni fotos, ni nada, de nuestros hijos ni de nosotros, y para esto sirve. Y ni asomo de que nadie asuma la responsabilidad.

I don't know what annoys me more: 'Data upon request' or raw data shared in a format that makes reproducibility nearly impossible. At least the former doesn't waste your time 🫠

As someone with an interest in 1) ways of enhancing extinction learning to attenuate recovery and 2) assessing the evidence for memory erasure, I read this preprint from the Namboodiri lab with attention. Here are a few thoughts on the preprint doi.org/10.64898/202...

Drowsiness alters the neural dynamics but not the core computations of multisensory integration Fluctuations in alertness shape perception and behaviour, yet how they affect the brain’s ability to integrate information across senses remains poorly understood. Here we investigated whether multise...

🚨 New preprint 🚨

Multisensory integration is often described as basic, robust, even ✨“cognitively impenetrable” ✨

But does the brain still bind the senses when alertness drops? 😴🧠

"Against our predictions, monolinguals generally outperformed bilinguals in word learning regardless of mapping type, and trial-by-trial analyses did not reveal differences in learning as expected."

Very happy that this is out www.nature.com/articles/s44.... Together with @stefankiebel.bsky.social we show that decision biases in context-dependent decision making, previously attributed to different forms of value normalization, are very well explained by habit-like action repetition.
