I’m looking for a study where someone has looked at accuracy on Raven’s matrices (or similar) items under extreme time pressure at the item level (not time pressure at the test level). I can’t find anything, but surely this study must exist?

This is a great summary of a very peculiar interaction. I wonder how Geraint Rees is coping with the new OfS duty that requires him and his UCL colleagues to “support constructive dialogue on contentious subjects”.

I wrote a blogpost about how the REF may have influenced how British academics write papers.

Forgive the self-indulgence, but tonight marks my 1,000th #Pompey game for The News. It began at West Brom in February 2001 - and since then plenty of are-you-watching-the-same-game player ratings and match reports. My apologies. I might get the hang of it one day…

Was reminded today of this email from an editor I once received in response to a manuscript submission.
![Screenshot of a letter from a journal editor. Text reads:
Dear Dr Inglis,
Thank you for your message and for the submission of your joint MS, [BLANK]• I'll get back to you when I have something to say about it. If that seems to you to be taking too long, please feel free to get back to me. Your MS does pose an interesting problem to me. The member of the Editorial Board of the journal that was particularly concerned with [BLANK] has been dead some time (and you wouldn't have wanted [BLANK] as
a referee anyway).
Yours truly,
