How people decide to consume (more) alcohol when feeling stressed: http://osf.io/c7q9p/
I'm excited to share a new preprint: In a novel experimental paradigm, we found evidence that stress induces a computational bias during alcohol-related decision-making in favor of alcohol, but this bias was only sometimes strong enough to overcome competing considerations (e.g., taste preferences).

Any computational RL people have thoughts (or even better a link to a paper) about effect sizes in the context of RL parameters like learning rate?
I vaguely remember talking to someone about effect sizes possibly not being very meaningful…but a paper on the topic would be awesome!!
