How can we ensure our data is generated by humans?

Our new preprint shows that
>30% of crowd workers used LLMs on a text summarization task on Prolific
>This is similar to previous figures on less vetted MTurk
>Mitigation strategies can reduce use >50%

Please do some crosswords for science! https://t.co/hOlwx52NAy
We're studying how people solve xwords, and we are looking for solvers of all experience levels: from novices to ACPTers. High-quality puzzles generously provided by the wonderful https://t.co/OSzFSiG8oU team.

Children Helping Science and Lookit are officially merging!

If you (would like to) run studies over the internet with babies, toddlers, kids of any age, teens, or parents/guardians, let's talk! We are aiming to make this a hub for all kinds of remote research.

[Children Helping Science @helping_science]

Children Helping Science is relaunching!

We are merging with the Lookit platform (https://t.co/RwBoEQ8XzT) to create a central hub for remote studies for babies & children.

Zoom studies? ✅
Surveys? ✅
Any link? ✅
Advertising elsewhere? ✅

Bring them on over! 🧵

[Dr Becky Gilbert @BeckyAGilbert]

Come work with us! Lookit is hiring a software engineer to implement psych data standards. Based in MA (MIT) or remote (US only). Fantastic working environment and supervisor 😀

[mekline.bsky.social @melissaekline]

🚨Psych-DS is hiring! 🚨
We are looking for a software engineer to build validation tools (Python, R, Javascript/client side browser) for a technical specification/data standard for behavioral datasets

Game changer for online experiments! 🤩

[Josh de Leeuw @joshdeleeuw]

Well, about four months later... DataPipe is ready!

https://t.co/zEIWxr4TLu

DataPipe lets you send data from an online experiment to the OSF. You can:

(1) Have born-open, transparent data collection (a la Rouder 2015)
(2) Host an online experiment for free.

[MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit @mrccbu]

Which brain networks do we need to understand challenging sentences? It depends on the whether words are difficult to perceive or have ambiguous meanings. Work from @Lucy_MacG of @mrccbu with @DrMattDavis @ev_fedorenko @JenniRodd @BeckyAGilbert @jneurolang

... and here's the first batch of live data from a github-hosted experiment posted directly to an OSF data component 🥳

[Woolgar-Lab @LabWoolgar]

Something really special: We have a 4-year postdoc position open, using neuroimaging to study potentially hidden cognitive abilities in non-speaking autism. M/EEG, decoding, receptive language, cognitive control https://t.co/UBQ88I7oYy DM @AlexWoolgar to chat. Please RT!

[Dr Becky Gilbert @BeckyAGilbert]

@melissaekline 🤞🤞🤞

[Dr Becky Gilbert @BeckyAGilbert]

@joshdeleeuw Yes that would solve the problem!
I didn't realize that OSF files can be private and that data can be fully deleted (rather than persisting in version history) 👍

[Dr Becky Gilbert @BeckyAGilbert]

@joshdeleeuw Cool idea!! I'd be concerned about the data going straight to osf bc of privacy/anonymity. I used to remove some parts of data before sharing it - usually prolific ID (to prevent linking data across expts) and any free-text responses (can be unintentionally identifying).

[Dr Becky Gilbert @BeckyAGilbert]

@MattCrumpLab Yay! We'd love to hear about pain points, suggestions, and any other feedback 😀
