Way to go @noemirubau.bsky.social and team! This study is going to yield such important and much-needed data!

Cognitive psychology is everywhere, including in unexpected places!
"Epistemic" emotions (e.g., surprise, curiosity) give us powerful tools to engage students — which I tried to use here, in this lecture opening from the Covid days of remote teaching.

If your data collection methodology results in estimates that 1 in 10 Americans believe:
“The Canadian Armed Forces have been secretly developing an elite army of genetically engineered, super intelligent, giant raccoons to invade nearby countries”
You have a problem.

A highlight of #AERA2026 was when Sam Wineburg introduced me to Barbara Rogoff. Barbara has a great series of videos on how children learn through collaboration and observation. Here's a one on Learning by Observing and Pitching In featuring Indigenous communities. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky
You think you’d notice if you were wrong about cause and effect, right?
You probably wouldn’t.

I feel that this is increasingly our reality
(and not confined to dating)
Psych book series idea:
"What We REALLY Know About __________"
[insert: memory, dreaming, attention, depression, ADHD, tDCS, the brain, emotion...]
Summarizes ONLY the really solid, highly replicated, semi-consensus facts in a field, assuming all else is speculation.

Seems like we should know something about how grading affects motivation, right? Surprisingly, the research literature hasn't been synthesized - until now! Sievers et al reviewed 34 studies and identified what we (don't) know and what research needs to happen next. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

👉 “Can we treat something as a public health problem if it isn’t even a diagnosis?”
A recent paper argues psychopathy should be seen beyond criminology, as shaping violence, health, and relationships.

Thank you to Garth Neufeld for having me on his PsychSessions podcast. Garth got me reflecting on the power of sharing our stories with students, AI in education, my research journey from cluelessness to a love affair with cognition, to why universities feel like home to me.

Maybe we shouldn't be surprised here that open placebos (knowing it's a placebo!) work well to achieve the outcome
www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
I mean, many people are duped by news/misinfo that they surely KNOW isn't real.
in positive condition 97% approval, in null, 80%
#AcademicSky #PsychSciSky
Interesting study, testing (& finding): reviewers more favourable toward study supporting hypotheses (vs null finding)
But if you're a psychologist, THIS (below) will jump out at you!
Holy cow those are high recommendation rates!!!
