I love this tribute. Losing Jim is losing so many people. There is the intellectual giant who loomed so large in mind years before I ever met him. There is my colleague, WJH 14th floor hallmate, and co-author (made possible by @Sakiera_Hudson), who was ALWAYS in his office... https://twitter.com/ChrisPolPsych/status/1410761471819145216
Still trying to process the passing of my advisor, Prof. Jim Sidanius. I wrote a large part of his obituary for ISPP today (with others), but I thought I'd use this space to share ten Fun Sidanius Anecdotes. (1/n)
Many of our assumptions about the origins of urban civilization reflect what happened in the Near East &, to a lesser extent, China. But I'm reading up on the Harappan Civilization & am struck by how much it differed from other Bronze Age civilizations. [thread]
As I hear from more psych folk considering industry, thought I'd share a few tips I'd missed: (1) Big tech UX and data science aren't the only research jobs! There are jobs in 'research science', 'people analytics', more. Consider small startups/companies too. 1/n
Happy to share the latest from the lab: "Memory and Counterfactual Simulations of Past Wrongdoings Foster Moral Learning and Improvement", now published in Cognitive Science. This awesome work, spearheaded by (now!) Dr. Matt Stanley, and in collaboration with @RobertoECabeza(1/n)
Stop on by at the Symposia on Mental Models in Thinking and Reasoning today and tomorrow at #ICT2020 to hear talks by: - Gordon Briggs - Monica Bucciarelli - Ruth Byrne - Hillary Harner - Philipp Koralus - Robert Mackiewicz - Isabel Orenes - Marco Ragni https://www.modeltheory.org/events/ict2021/
I'm hiring a postdoc at @USNRL's Reasoning Lab (http://www.khemlani.net/lab). If you wanna run studies and build 🖥️ models of how people reason -- about concepts like space, time, causality, quantity, and belief -- check this out: http://khemlani.net/lab/postdoc-opportunities/ and join our group in DC!
I'm hiring a postdoc in the Vision Sciences Lab at Harvard, run jointly with @talia_konkle. If you're interested in using deep neural network models to understand human visual processing & human intuitive physical reasoning, please apply here https://forms.gle/s5JGGuY6SpgS9Bbu8
Incredibly happy to share our work w/ co-first author @mousejesus,@SamCWhitehead,@BrianKardon, @meihliu & @jesseGlab, now online on @Nature! TL;DR: mice make online corrections during licking, and cortex is required for these corrections.#tweeprint (1/21) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03561-9
Loved learning about @Hannah_Dames's research today on how people spontaneously improve when they reason. Most research treats reasoning as a set of stable, fixed processes, but her work investigates the moving target.
