So I think we need both. But we can do without Freud ☺️

But doing so, are we losing our ability to see people behind the data? We get quality data we do quality science but how much have we really understood? Latour calls for understanding through inquests. It's not science as we know it but sometimes understanding singular events can change the world.

We are teaching our students to build psychological knowledge based on mouse clicks, key presses, blood flows, words. We say we aim to be objective but as soon as we operationalise we make a subjective decision to "carve" reality up.

Freud is pseudoscience. Latour isn't science it's theory, an invitation to reflect on how scientific facts come into existence. I learnt nothing from Freud but Latour challenged my thinking.

If you read STS I would say you need to read Latour, start with Pandora's hope. It's not a criticism of science (he was often wrongly accused of this), it's an invitation to step outside, and reflect on science as a praxis.

So true! We are not even in our own bubble anymore, I feel stuck in Plato's cave watching the shadows of a sinister movie unfolding, too comfortable, afraid, busy or clueless to take action...

Great stuff as usual - now on my course reading list 👌

Hello Susan - I would like to be added, thank you ☺️

Same - but interesting that the better control was the LLM alone, no different from Dawes. Paraphrasing the author interviewed: doctors with LLMs disregarded LLM responses that disputed their initial (incorrect) hypothesis.

They were discussing the fact that the third group (LLM alone) outperformed the doctors or the LLM "augmented" doctors. I don't know enough about medical diagnosis to comment but would be curious to see if that replicates in other domains.

Tom Costello ( @tomcostello.bsky.social ) has made freely available tools that let you build LLM interaction into Qualtrics

Super pertinent as usual @sdpbht.bsky.social do you have a reference for this? I've seen it done but in a rather ad-hoc way from some of your Penn neighbours arxiv.org/pdf/2309.10771. I am looking for a rigorous approach to prompt for this, including validation prompts.

My final session at #SJDM 2024: Online #ProcessTracing!

Ian Krajbich gave the rationale.

Xiaozhi Yang demoed webcam #eyeTracking.

Nitisha Desai showed #mouseTracking code.

@adaaka.bsky.social advised on #coding scalable #textAnalysis with #LLMs.

I meant ask Santa 🎅🏼 and the 🧝 🧝‍♀️ 🧝‍♂️ sorry 😅

Jordan Suchow & @vahidash.bsky.social are compiling and analyzing MASSIVE datasets of biases, decision scenarios, and #research #abstracts

- Biases clustered
- Some biases relevant to *most* decisions (e.g. #attention)
- Relevance and #science coverage unrelated?

Agreed. Also peer-reviewing is not just a skill, it's a social practice, we should teach students to have a critical reflection on biases and processes www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great initiative, I'd be happy to be added, thank you ☺️
