A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

Just submitted a BBS commentary (w/ @edbaggs.bsky.social) on the paper "Let’s go WILD: Increasing Inclusivity in Theories of Developmental Psychology"
To make psychology more inclusive we need to confront the WEIRDness of our methods & metatheoretical commitments!

Latest paper co-authored with @guicogsci.bsky.social
We argue that behavior settings and cognitive institutions complement each other and that ecological psychology will profit from integrating cognitive institutions into its conceptual toolkit.

@moritz-bammel.bsky.social and @guicogsci.bsky.social discuss the possibility of extending radical embodiment to human social collectives. They compare two established approaches: behavior settings theory and the extended cognition notion of cognitive institutions
