What does your ex have in common with magic cats? lifespancognitivedynamics.com/posts/2023-10-… A blog post to build intuition about autoregression, feat. cats, stats, and trash romance🚀🙀

Do large language models solve verbal analogies like children do? Yes, they (kind of) do! arxiv.org/abs/2310.20384 thanks for the great collaboration: Rochelle Choenni Katia Shutova Mathilde ter Veen & Han van der Maas UvA Amsterdam

Searching for someone doing longitudinal EEG/MEG study for a symposium on the dynamics between brain and cognition during development. Please feel free to send papers/people my way (also might be interested if you use other techniques or in aging). #AcademicTwitter

💡Dynamic Structural Equation Stan Models Available Now! (see link below) Because of popular demand I figured I'd share our Stan models ahead of our tutorial paper. The Stan models are direct replicates of the 6 DSEM models from Hamaker et al.'s book chapter (2023). 🧵1/3

Interested in test construction, intelligence and open science? Come join our team! We are looking for an enthusiastic research assistant that will help us create and validate an openly-available stimulus set to assess abstract reasoning. radboudumc.nl/en/vacancies/1…

Postdoc Job Alert: Help us study children's cognitive development to improve AI reasoning. vacatures.uva.nl/UvA/job/Postdo…

🚨job alert! We're looking for a postdoc to join and coordinate the CODEC project (codecstudie.nl). The LCD lab led by rogier kievit is a great place to work! radboudumc.nl/en/vacancies/1…. Get in touch if you have any questions!

🚨new paper out🚨 in which we show that people use verbalization in reinforcement learning. In light of this, we discuss how stimulus choice affects the generalizability and validity of reinforcement-learning results. Well done Annie Johansson! link.springer.com/article/10.375…

Sayings and colloquialisms capture the shared experience of humans having ‘good days’ and ‘bad days.’ In contrast, the temporal stability of cognitive performance is a central assumption in intelligence research. What if this assumption does not hold?🧵 osf.io/preprints/psya…

🚨 Happy to say that our preprint on inhibition and arithmetic with Sixtine_Omont and Andre Knops is available! Ever wondered why inhibition does or doesn't relate to other inhibition tasks, symbolic and non-symbolic arithmetic, you can read it here: osf.io/preprints/psya…

We are recruiting a PhD student for a 4-year interdisciplinary project on social learning and cultural evolution in Amsterdam twtr.to/UC1it Computational modelling, agent-based simulations, network analysis. Please RT!

New content: Nicholas Judd on fediscience@njudd, Michael Aristodemou, Klingberg, T., & rogier kievit. (2024). Interindividual Differences in Cognitive Variability Are Ubiquitous and Distinct From Mean Performance in a Battery of Eleven Tasks. Journal of Cognition, 7(1): 45, pp. 1–16. DOI: doi.org/10.5334/joc.371

Variability in cognitive tasks seems to behave very differently than mean performance!

🚨Preprint alert 🚨 Did you know interpreting individual differences in cognitive neuroscience is by no means straight forward? Check out our preprint (osf.io/preprints/osf/…) in which we investigate whether or not different scenarios give rise to interpretational problems.

Excited to share our systematic review and meta-analysis is out in JAMA Pediatrics! We synthesize, quantify, and compare evidence on the relationship between social media use and internalizing mental health in adolescent clinical and community samples. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

Excited to start collecting these extremely rich data on cognitive development and variability soon! Data will be openly available so stay tuned.

The CODEC study, led by rogier kievit, will measure cognitive variability across cognitive domains and temporal resolutions with behavioural and neuroimaging measures to understand cognitive fluctuations in children. The protocol paper is out now!! rdcu.be/dPjbB
