If you care about kids and the future of society read this article. In short "social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok have hijacked evolved psychological mechanisms for social comparison and group belonging...The result has been a well-documented global rise in anxiety, depression, loneliness, body dysmorphia, and self-harm. Now, AI companions bring different but equally urgent concerns. Young people are entering emotionally immersive relationships with artificial agents that mirror their every mood, indulge every fantasy, and never say no. Once again, we are deploying a powerful technology at scale without understanding its long-term developmental impacts, particularly on the young and vulnerable."

New paper published! Very simple study showing how 3-option decisions relate to the common 2-option decisions that we usually read about. https://t.co/XFjfWiIVnn

@psyyangxu FYI, it's now in press with Decision.

Just found out that I was awarded a Marie Curie postdoc fellowship! 🥳

@Seb_Olschewski Desk rejected at JBDM, my university doesn't have a fee agreement for the other 2... 😔

How can the mind optimize processing of decision-relevant information?The oMCD model uses subjective decision confidence as the benefit term of the resource allocation problem to solve this task.

New paper! How do adolescents learn about themselves? In our new paper we suggest that the act of making choices itself may help adolescents to refine their own preferences, and thus learn about themselves. @jonroiser @DougLee45 https://t.co/wn3t2WRGJp

@psy_yangxu Thanks! And thanks for the interest! My study was pretty narrow, so you could definitely do a follow-up or parallel study. PM me if you want to run any ideas by me.

Now published, our DDM + mouse-tracking risky choice paper, with @GiovanniPezzulo :

@ChiasmaParis @StePalminteri I guess that's simply a question of cost. I've already done something like this a few times before. The problem is that it's unusual, so people/labs/departments usually don't have discretionary funds for that sort of thing (yet).

[Douglas Lee @DougLee45]

Dear fellow researchers (especially the veterans): have you ever heard of someone being a freelance researcher? E.g., no affiliation and just working on different projects here and there while collecting various paychecks as an independent contractor?

[Douglas Lee @DougLee45]

@StePalminteri Thanks, Stefano. I'm not sure there's any reason why it would necessarily be different than in other fields. Email and Zoom exchange would always be open, and revisions / follow-up work would simply mean more billable hours (as with other types of consultant).
