Behavioural insights, data science, design, running.

What impact does radical discontinuity have on the predictive power of ML trained on past behavioural data? If business is no longer ‘as usual’, what does this mean for black box models built in the PC (pre-Covid) era? Are we / should be worried? #ai https://t.co/98SE3loaQI

Not sure we needed a peer-reviewed paper to establish that 'co-designing nudges' is a contradiction in terms, but good to call it out all the same. #behaviouralscience #behavioralscience #nudge #codesign https://t.co/7PhrkGDhrN

Sad news. Bandura's name doesn't appear as often as it should in behavioural science , but he was instrumental in reversing psychology out of the Behaviourism cul-de-sac that Skinner, Watson et al had parked it in. #behaviouralscience #behavioralscience https://t.co/tOuEdNbZ7W

How does building trust reduce service demand? Just one of the questions we explore in this clip from my presentation at a recent Voicescape webinar.

Fun take on the Heuristics and Biases canon from @GannaPogrebna and team. The Big Bad Bias Book sounds like a great resource to help wrap your head around this burgeoning area of the behsci literature. https://t.co/v9WBn4AHSx. #behaviouralscience #behavioralscience #psychology

New analysis flu vacc 'mega-trial' data will try to identify how different messages affect sub-populations differently. A good sign as the need for #behaviouralscience to move towards more targetted and tailored intervention intensifies. https://t.co/l6RUPi5Zeq #behavioralscience

I WORRY WE FORGET MORE THAN WE LEARN - PART 03
How much of the replicability 'crisis' is epistemological and methodological confusion in the absence of a proper appreciation of the history and philosophy of science? https://t.co/z3U2A7eVB1 #behaviouralscience #behavioralscience

WHAT BOOK DOES BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCE NEED RIGHT NOW? Come up with the title of a book that hasn't been written (yet) that we need to save / rescue / take behavioural science to ever-greater heights. #behavioralscience #behavioraleconomics #nudge #behaviouralinsights

Is a customer's preferred channel the most effective channel?
As we become more digital, do we become less human... and what are the consequences? Two questions we explored in this clip from a recent webinar I did with the lovely folks at @Voicescape. https://t.co/xHQBxvaQbZ

We’re not going to address the replication crisis with better experiments when there's elephants roaming around the room. 8 Reasons why we need to go much deeper. #behaviouralscience #behaviouralinsights #behavioraleconomics

Nature has just launched a series of articles on Computational Social Science. The first instalment is of particular interest to anyone involved in the application of #behaviouralscience, #behaviouralinsights, #BehavioralEconomics etc. https://t.co/smsQey6wVN

Check out my latest article: The Considered_ approach to Behavioural Innovation Part 01 https://t.co/BzMqqy7UIC

I’d be really interested in your view: What are we are talking about when we talk about #behaviouralscience?

I was lucky enough to be interviewed by the lovely folks at @BBIAS for their 'Meet The Experts' series. We had a great chat about the intersection of #BehaviouralInsights #DataScience and #humancentreddesign.

So, this is a little worrying. New research into AI ethics by FICO and Corinium found (amongst other things) that 65% of respondents can’t explain how specific AI model decisions or predictions are made.

Inspired by @xkcd's original 'Types of Scientific Paper' skit, I couldn't resist riffing on a Behavioural Science version.

Replicability crises deepens, Research findings that are probably wrong cited far more than robust ones, study finds https://t.co/TCaHVUeq35.

I wrote this for The Guardian a while ago. It became one of the Top 5 most-read pieces for the year. The focus was on behaviour change for sustainability, so apt to recycle it here. https://t.co/yV5BdH80NE
