Another fun collaboration

[Rakshith @RakLokesh]

From dancing to carrying a couch, we often coordinate our actions with others. Our paper addresses how the accuracy and time delays of visual and haptic feedback influence collaborative interactions between partners.

The very first graduate student to join the lab is leaving the nest. Congratulations to Dr. St. Germain (@_LauraStGermain) on a successful doctoral defence! It’s been an amazing 5 years working and learning with you.

New preprint! 📢‼️

One of the most influential claims in sport science: External focus of attention is better than an internal focus for motor performance.

Seven previous meta-analyses reported support for this claim.

We found the opposite…

My book📚, “A Student’s Guide to Open Science: Using the Replication Crisis to Reform Psychology” is available to pre-order now! (https://t.co/oM1gwYkXDk; https://t.co/CDeVjNZW6q). A thread of why this book is important to both the field and me! 🧵

There are 2 things I wish more consumers of experiments grasped:
1. When researchers are incentivized to report significant results, low power reduces the likelihood that a significant result reflects a true effect (it's probably overestimated) https://t.co/MQPtOY1KO8 1/

[Action, Cognition, & Metascience Lab @cartermaclab]

Some really nice work here…well worth the read!

[Josh Cashaback @JCashaback]

We are excited to share our new paper that predicts the onset timing of multiple motor commands (https://t.co/Ho71upV0DX). The onset timing of muscle is important for coordination and becomes impacted with several neurological disorders.

I am looking for a postdoc (two years) with a background in sensorimotor control interested in doing research at the intersection of sensorimotor control and neurophysiology. If interested, please get in touch. RTs appreciated.

For the love of god and all that is holy, STOP DOING RESPONDER ANALYSES! There is ZERO reasonable justification for designating "responders +/-" just because those observations fall on the tails of a normal distribution

My new post is about Growth Mindset, and how the claims about it have diminished over time. Is this the fabled “decline effect”? And what does it have to do with Gerry Adams? https://t.co/xjjddbZN3p

🤯"We identified statistical errors in 85% of the 20 most highly cited meta-analyses in strength and conditioning research over the past 20 years"

🤔What are the most common errors in MAs and how to spot them?

Big thanks to @KristinSainani & @DocSoph for their guidance and help
