1/ @NPRCodeSwitch created a (very non-comprehensive) list of names of black folks killed by the police since Eric Garner's death in 2014.
Here's some of what they learned about each person's final moments before the police ended their lives: https://t.co/2642n6dUNx
I got to see friends in person for the first time in 22 days today. It felt amazing. Also, clearly, I didn’t think anybody would actually see that facial hair out...
A stunning interview.
“But the question to ask, Isaac, is not whether I chose the right number but whether I had the right model.”
It seems like these errors do not substantively change any of our conclusions...
A Q. & A. with Richard Epstein, who wrote an article questioning the World Health Organization’s decision to declare the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic and suggested that about 500 people would die from COVID-19 in the U.S. https://t.co/XUQZvXqffd
10yo may have lacked a preferred demand signal to adapt behavior (e.g., accuracy similar across tasks), despite monitoring task diffs.
Part of a growing literature on how cognitive control development may reflect better task monitoring and diffs in adaptive behavior.

Excited to post my first-ever #preprint, a #preregistered study with Nic Chevalier, Ryan Guild, & Yuko Munakata:
"Developing Adaptive Control: Age-related Differences in Task Choices and Awareness of Proactive and Reactive Control Demands"

So, monitoring cognitive task demands improves with age.
Interestingly, the 5yo who did report diffs picked the reactive control task, enabling their preferred form of control, whereas adults picked the proactive task, suggesting age differences in adaptive task choices.

@ShlomoArgamon @jamesheathers Am I missing something? There is a petition to stop petitions against bad papers (in favor of reasoned argument) because reasoned argument is a less effective way to stop the petitions against bad work?
@mcmullarkey And if the main answer is “social support”, that seems way more promising for intervention (though effortful + $) than things like “pretend the marshmallow is a cloud”, esp. given the struggle to directly improve ‘self-control’ across the field.
@mcmullarkey Apologies on the delayed reply—But, fully agree! I’m still amazed that such a strange and short test has any predictive ability a decade down the line, and it’s probably because it can capture such a variety of things
