Recently, van der Stigchel and colleagues posted a provocative commentary suggesting that we should be wary of bots in online behavioral data collection (🧵by @cstrauch.bsky.social here: bsky.app/profile/cstr...). But should we? Here is my response letter osf.io/preprints/ps.... 1/5

Companion piece in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social to our recent @nathumbehav.nature.com paper, in which we put our "Social feature learning" model of social learning strategies in context.

Feature-based reward learning shapes human social learning strategies - Nature Human Behaviour This research advances a mechanistic reward learning account of social learning strategies. Through experiments and simulations, it shows how individuals learn to learn from others, dynamically shapin...

If you want to read more about the nuts and bolts of our reward learning account of social learning—the Social Feature Learning (SFL) model—check out our recent @nathumbehav.nature.com paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ever wondered if you were aware of your own biases? Us too! If you're attending #RLDM2025, stop by poster #92 on Friday to learn how we tested insight into perceptual decision biases using (hierarchical) drift diffusion modelling. Work with @kobedesender.bsky.social, Peter Murphy & Hanne Daenen.

The second @rldmdublin2025.bsky.social poster from the lab is by fantastic PhD student Shen Tian. Using modeling and experiments, he investigated the key role of semantic knowledge in a complex innovation task (originated by @maximederex.bsky.social). On Thursday, poster #86

Metacognitive confidence and affect – two sides of the same coin? Decision confidence is a prototypical metacognitive representation that is thought to approximate the probability that a decision is correct. The perception of being correct has also been associate...

Why does it feel good to be sure? In new work @voalan.bsky.social @andero.bsky.social and I bridge confidence and affect. In perceptual DM, we found a remarkably consistent association between both measures! ↓↓↓

Optimal confidence = P(correct|evidence, time), but how do humans compute this? @pierreledenmat.bsky.social Tom Verguts and I provide a low-dimensional approximation of optimal confidence (the LDC model).
