First, avoid binary representations: they place a strict ceiling on I(M;E). Compared to binaries, streak representations will boost I(M;E)—& thus flow—unless your success rate is low, in which case proximity representations (thinking in terms of distance from a target) are best.

New 📄: Support for a computational model of how task representations (e.g. thinking in terms of binary wins/losses vs. streaks of consecutive wins vs. physical distance to a target, etc.) shape the experience of flow, enjoyment, and objective performance osf.io/preprints/osf/…

🚨New in @PNASNews, led by @DSchultner & Ben Stillerman: In 8 studies, we test a mechanism through which exposure to societal stereotypes—even those we know may be false—can implicitly transform into individual-level prejudice and then spread across a community.

Last but not least, it’s been said before but if you have a chance to work with @LindseyDrayton as an editor I highly recommend it! She is truly in a class all her own as far as journal editors go, and helped improve this paper at every stage.

This paper has been significantly updated -- including its title 🧑‍🏫 In "Causation, Meaning, and Communication", Ari Beller develops and tests a computational account of how people use and interpret different causal expressions (like "caused", "enabled", and "affected"). 1/3

Excited to introduce the 'Counterfactual Simulation Model of Causal Language' 🎱➡️💬 (led by Ari Beller, cicl.stanford.edu/member/ari_bel…) which captures how people's causal representations of what happened translate into language. 📰psyarxiv.com/xv8hf 📎github.com/cicl-stanford/… 🧵

Excited to share this review paper that outlines evidence that minority group members live in ‘tighter’ social worlds. An enormous thank you to @MicheleJGelfand for all the mentorship and guidance on this! Empirical work to follow! authors.elsevier.com/c/1jrTj,rU~N-t…
Michele J. Gelfand@MicheleJGelfand

Colleagues--our new paper on Minorities living in tighter worlds is out. Loved collaborating with the great @WeavingMorgan on this! Stay tuned for the empirical paper that tests these ideas! cc @_alice_evans authors.elsevier.com/c/1jrTj,rU~N-t…

@gershbrain I find it helpful knowing the author’s preferred outcome if they had one. E.g., evidence for basic emotions would update my beliefs more coming from Barrett vs Keltner. The odds of Barrett & I missing a flaw in that evidence are lower than the odds of Keltner & I missing it.

I'm curious what would happen if we banned possessives when referring to hypotheses in scientific papers. My impression is that scientists are far too personally invested in their hypotheses. When I edit my student's papers, I change 'our hypothesis' to 'a hypothesis'.
