New open access paper in @jcgntn.bsky.social: bit.ly/4bt2D8Q! We developed and validated an open-source cognitive control test battery (bit.ly/4ql9gyP), using a transparent, open science approach. We worked on this for 6 (!!) years, with many lab members, so I'm thrilled to see this published.

I've used Lavaan almost every (work)day for 15 years, but this open source labour of love has never received proper institutional support. I'm delighted to be a small part of an 1.5M OpenScienceNL award, led by Jorgensen, to completely revamp and futureproof Lavaan www.openscience.nl/en/news/45-p...

‘The course was a wonderful way of looking inward, of examining what I truly believe, what I need to reevaluate, and what questions I should never stop asking.’ We're getting some really amazing feedback. Take a look!

I’m looking for a study where someone has looked at accuracy on Raven’s matrices (or similar) items under extreme time pressure at the item level (not time pressure at the test level). I can’t find anything, but surely this study must exist?

I had a great time at #EARLI @earlioffice.bsky.social in Graz learning lots and meeting great people!
Thank you @driro.bsky.social for the invitation and for organising this exciting symposium on executive function and maths!

In a new pub, we examined subgroup differences in Asian American children, particularly 1) the diversity of math achievement and 2) what factors predict this diversity. Ultimately, we wanted to see whether the factors predicting math achievement is the same across subgroups.

Couldn't find anything simple and easy to use, so I made a tool to generate auditory numerosity stimuli for ANS studies in Python. Feel free to use it!
