Learn from expert teachers, not expert doers. Experts are often not good teachers… but we think they are. Why?

This paper finds that: “Top performers do not give better advice than other performers, they just give more of it—and people seem to mistake quantity for quality.”

This is cool: when AI is better than humans, it makes humans better. In 2016, the Go world was shocked when AI beat the best human player. Since then, by playing against AI, professional players have gotten unprecedentedly better at the world's oldest game https://t.co/J3IPpektq6

In the last five years, the number of data points available to football teams has gone from 4000 per game to four million

I wrote about the football data revolution, and how it could be a key factor in England v Germany, for @wireduk #ENGGER

Read about the research done by Henry Eyring (@HenryEyring), Patrick J Ferguson (@fergusonpj1), and Sebastian Koppers (@SKoppers) titled, “Less Information, More Comparison, and Better Performance: Evidence from a Field Experiment.”

Are you looking for an excellent Sunday read?

In a new study, my dear friend Sebastian Koppers and his two co-authors report on a field experiment, exploring the effect of various feedback types on the performance of #football players.

Here's the link: https://t.co/MZzYJRFzOF!

Exciting news: Our manuscript exploring the role of the right to decide about the shooting sequence in penalty shootouts (i.e., kicking first/second) has just been accepted for publication in Games and Economic Behavior!

Here's the link to the preprint: https://t.co/bsunx0a8Km!

Smart design:
Ohio State University waited for students’ walking patterns to create footpaths (“desire paths”) and paved them afterwards.

A great post by @uri_sohn that reviews the hot hand fallacy. It conforms very closely to my views on the topic. Summary:
1. Great recent work demonstrates more hot hand than previously estimated.
2. Still lots of evidence that people dramatically overestimate hot hand effects.

ICYMI, this is an *amazing* interview between @tylercowen and @PTetlock on forecasting, social science, and all things kind of weird: https://t.co/RVn9L8T4Pi

Great visualisation of the fact that many traffic jams are backward travelling waves.
That’s why you often see nothing stopping traffic when you reach the end.
