Anyone checked out this open access, interactive textbook entitled “Theoretical modeling for cognitive science and psychology" by Mark Blokpoel and Iris van Rooij? https://computationalcognitivescience.github.io/lovelace/
Question for journal editors who handle experimental psych submissions: Have you ever offered authors who receive a reject/revise/resubmit decision requiring an additional experiment the option of doing that follow-up experiment as a sort of Registered Report -- that is, pledge that if they do the follow-up experiment as agreed (including decent statistical power to detect a reasonable smallest effect size of interest) you will accept the manuscript regardless of the outcome? Pros and cons of doing that?

@JuliusGoat As Gibran wrote, "Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. They come through you, but not to you. And though they are with you yet they belong not to you."

@pixx@merveilles.town @khm Thanks. If you have links to any such studies I'd be interested. Certainly make sense e.g., that car-packed heart of Amsterdam must have been challenging for emergency vehicles.
Individual Differences in Cognition. New journal published by the Psychonomic Society. That would have been rad for Psychonomes back in the day.

@lakens@mastodon.social In 2017 I invited submission of preregistered direct replications of studies previously published in Psychological Science. To the best of my recollection, I received zero. https://dx-doi-org.ezproxy.library.uvic.ca/10.1177/0956797617718802

@UlrikeHahn Sounds plausible, but my ignorance is vast. I do sometimes wonder if the e cost of sending a digital photo varies appreciably with resolution and hence file size. That is something I control. Seems likely that the e cost increases with resolution, but how much I dunno.

@futurebird@sauropods.win When I was in grade 6 I worked super hard on a school paper for the first time. It was about skin myelinization and the title was Man the Rainbow. My teacher Mr. Slade picked up on my investment in the paper and asked me to stay after school so he could read it and give me feedback that very day. He gave me nice comments and an A+. That had a big and lasting impact.

@UlrikeHahn Very thought provoking. "The experiment succeeded because the human supervisor had done the grunt work, years ago, that the machine is now supposedly liberating us from....Making the models smarter doesn't solve the problem. It makes the problem harder to see. "

@lakens I did it a time or two when I was Editor of Psych Science. Just now I'm helping a colleague respond to an editor who wants another experiment, which is why it came to mind.

@albertcardona My understanding is that here in British Columbia, Canada, tuitions are set such that Canadian students pay approximately 50% of the cost of the education they receive, the rest coming from provincial tax revenue, whereas international student tuition is double that. Doesn't seem completely unreasonable to me, provided the uni comes through with good supports for international students' success.

@infobeautiful@vis.social @ourworldindata@vis.social I would love to see a similar graphic designed to add one or more comparison countries. E.g., if Canada was added the rates of Heart disease and cancer are probably similar to US, and probably equally ignored in media...
