I'm thrilled to finally share our pre-print on using cognitive process modeling to address context independence violations in the ABCD Study stop-signal task! The culmination of over a year of work with @dora_matzke, @CharlotteCTanis and @AndrewHeathcot8...

Stay tuned to the @CompBrainBeh account: in the next two weeks we will feature a different accepted paper each day! Many of them discuss the important topic of robustness and reproducibility in computational modeling of cognition.

Our paper got published in PNAS this week! It's a cool study of big data from Lumosity's brain training platform. We learn about task switching, practice, and the effects of age: pnas.org/content/early/…

You can now use this approach to get Bayes Factors for any model implemented in DMC (osf.io/pbwx8/), just remember, think about your priors!

Huge amount of work by Dora on a hard problem with an important lesson: recovering estimated parameters does not necessarily mean your model is identified!

Probability Density Approximation (PDA) lets you do full Bayes estimation for a model you can only simulate. This paper with @YiShinLin1 in press at BRM explores CPU/GPU speed ups and tweaks to standard sampling needed to make it work tascl.org/uploads/4/9/3/…

Surprising finding from new modeling dora.erbe-matzke.com/papers/Inhibit… that it is not traditional stop-signal RT that is linked to real world impulse control but rather failures to attend to the goal of stopping (see also dora.erbe-matzke.com/papers/Sz_APP_…)
Patrick Skippen@SkippenPat

Reliability of triggering the inhibitory process is a better predictor of impulsivity than SSRT. Updated version based on reviewer comments online at psyarxiv.com/vg5rd/ @PsyArXiv Code @OSFramework @AndrewHeathcot8 @dora_matzke

@danielrlittle @AdamOsth @CLudowici @msvanarmy Luce 1986 book has an example of simple RT that’s only slightly right skewed. Mixtures can also do it, I have a PLoS Computational Biology analysing supposedly accuracy emphasis monkey data where there is a speed hump. Also occurs in timed responding indicating collapsing bounds

@3rdincharge So I’ve been living here for four years and don’t know this - what is Kim and Kath?

The next issue of Computational Brain and Behavior is now available: link.springer.com/journal/42113/… There is some really interesting new multi-disciplinary work in this issue. Keep an eye on @CompBrainBeh for highlights!

I’m not really sure how this happened. I (properly) use a kettle about three times a day!

I’ve been living in Australia for four years and made the most American mistake this morning - I put the kettle on a lit stove. There was a lot of smoke and now my kitchen smells like burnt plastic.

This new modeling allows you assess the ability to inhibit responses to difficult choices, I think it has potential to greatly expand measurement and understanding of cognitive control.
