Interested in #numeracy? @msilverstein18 writes about development of our 3 new numeracy scales, now out at JDM. Find links to text versions and Qualtrics code here too, https://t.co/i8Keq5RKN3 @shootsreinhard @PBjalkebring @maxwellcely @UOPsych @UOsojc

The anchoring effect has been one of the most far-reaching phenomena across the behavior sciences with a history spanning 50 years. Have you every been curious what we have learned over these decades? Take a look at our new preprint: https://t.co/p2Tl6gkO7z

So proud of @msilverstein18 for giving a fantastic talk today on affective motivated reasoning. His very first at a major conference and he hit it out of the park! #spudm2023 @UOPsych @uoregon

New paper with @ellenpetersjdm, @PBjalkebring, and @shootsreinhard now online at Judgment and Decision Making. We created and validated new, short measures of numeracy—the ability to understand and use numeric information. https://t.co/2cIpFrNeXl

Great contribution to science on emotion-driven choosing in breast cancer treatment. Led by @msilverstein18, it's his very first first-authored publication!! @UOPsych @uoregon

nice paper by @ellenpetersjdm about the power of numeric self-efficacy. many medical decisions and behaviors require persistence to be successful over time. #MDMTwitter https://t.co/e9awxigoTh

The rise and fall of rationality

After the year 1850, the use of words associated with fact-based (vs. emotional) arguments rose steadily in books and the @nytimes But the pattern reversed in the 1980s, and emotion-based arguments accelerated around 2007. https://t.co/c8C4mASaNq
