Children’s arithmetic skills do not transfer between applied and academic mathematics - Nature
Children who learn maths working in markets and children who learn maths only from school were both unable to transfer their skills to new contexts, highlighting a need to reconsider how maths is taught in school.

Does the culture you grow up in shape the way you see the world? In a new Psych Review paper, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & I tackle this centuries-old question using the Müller-Lyer illusion as a case study. Come think through one of history's mysteries with us🧵(1/13):

It’s difficult to express how I feel about David Lynch and what he’s done. Our wedding tables were named after Blue Velvet. He co-wrote what probably is my favorite song, Mysteries of Love. Twin Peaks is home. He’s gone but he will always stay.

New paper (with Andras Molnar)! Does competition increase dishonesty? Do competitive incentives (being compensated based on how well you perform relative to others) make people more likely to cheat? Many before us addressed this question... So why another study? 1/3 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper: We combine evidence from a survey (correlational), bank spending data, and online experiments to show that job loss increases risk taking.

Job loss increases financial risk-taking. People who lost their jobs during the pandemic were more likely to gamble and purchase more lottery tickets, on average, than people who had not lost their jobs. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I’m looking for responses to replications that attributed failure to stimuli becoming invalid with time (e.g., Shafir and Cheek 2024 JDM on choose/reject effects), or to stimulus selection more generally. Discussions also welcome (e.g., @olegurminsky.bsky.social and Dietvorst 2024 JCR). Pointers?
