A precious teaching resource for neuropsychology/cognition/perception: patient videos

In my #Neuropsychology course, I use many patient videos to give examples of various consequences of brain injury. Some of these are really excellent and can be tricky to find, so I thought I'd share this doc with links to some of my favorites - a brief 🧵with some highlights. (more to come later!)

This blog post is a nice concise articulation of how it is tempting, but incorrect, to interpret a change score in a randomized experiment as a direct estimate of the effect size of the treatment.
Psychologists are also definitely guilty of confusing change with treatment response, which is why I wrote about it here:
