Co-authorship with my colleague and friend Cody Mashburn. This was one of those studies I felt had to be done and Randy’s lab was an ideal place to do it right. Really enjoyed working on this.
New study by @drjt.bsky.social examines if attention control explains the 🔗 between inspection time tasks and intelligence. Key finding: attention control fully mediated the inspection time-intelligence relationship + people with better sustained attention showed less performance decline over time 🧪

The problem is not the existence of opposing worldviews, even extreme ones. Progress IS the existence of opposing worldviews. The problem is prescribing our worldview on others - which is an intolerance to diversity. Progress is accepting that people find meaning in things you find aberrant.

The problem is that would people choose misinformation that validates their views regardless of the algorithms that social media companies weaponize to keep us engaged in their platforms for the sake of profit. In the end… even on an open platform… “what we attend to is reality” - William James

Undergrad RAs presenting our work on attention control, brain networks, and pupil size. They did such a great job putting the posters together and presenting. Research is better, more productive, and rewarding when you get students involved.

This just came out: Three experiments suggest that specific and difficult task goals enhance sustained attention performance. 👁️👁️

I like how these authors applied theory from work psychology to their cognitive paradigm.

Nice views out the office window tonight. Love to see how the view changes with the seasons. Hard to capture the large swarm of swifts flying around, and seems like you can’t post videos here.
