If you teach psychology — or really any subject — this growing thread is one of the most valuable resources I've seen. Thanks, @amiyake.bsky.social!
If you teach cognitive psychology or related topics & are willing to share your favorite teaching resources (e.g., demos, videos), please reply to/quote this post, tag me in a new post, or send me email. I'll compile them, share the list, & keep updating it this summer. Let's inspire each other!
I teach an undergrad cognitive psychology class. I've been thinking about assembling useful teaching resources (demos, videos, etc.) from other cogpsy instructors & sharing them in a single place. If there's enough interest here, I'll make a separate post & ask you to share your favorite materials.

Luke Townrow & I found that bonobos point more for ignorant than knowledgeable partners
In commentary, @amandaroyka.bsky.social & @lauriesantos.bsky.social ask whether pointing requires ignorance attribution (IA)

Are humans the only species that communicates when a collaborator is missing information?
In @pnas.org, Luke Townrow and I show that our closest relatives, bonobos, can track when a partner is knowledgeable or ignorant, and tailor communication accordingly

Thanks @neillewisjr.bsky.social for this thread— such a needed reminder this weekend.
1/8. This week I had a few different conversations with scholars who, in the face of the attacks on science and institutions of learning in the U.S., are wondering what to do. One suggestion I have is: keep doing your work. It matters in and of itself. Why do I say that? A few reasons.
