Actually, we recently spooked away some ghosts with warnings and other scary things (with @semihaktepe.bsky.social)

New paper by my PhD student @semihaktepe.bsky.social now published 🚀

"Revisiting the effect of discrepant perceptual fluency on truth judgments" tinyurl.com/2eepue5y

--> Two experiments & a meta-analysis indicate that high visual contrast does not lead to higher truth judgments.

How does plausibility shape the truth effect?

In our new paper with @danielheck.bsky.social, we propose a Bayesian model specifying how repetition and plausibility jointly influence binary truth judgments in light of nonlinear transformations.

Revisiting the Effect of Discrepant Perceptual Fluency on Truth Judgments

We could not replicate the effect that higher color contrast results in higher truth judgments in two online experiments (N=98 and N=294).

We have a new reproduction. Siepe et al. reproduce: "A systematic review and Bayesian meta-analysis of the acoustic features of infant-directed speech" by Cox et al. @naturehumbehav.bsky.social. Full report below.

We (matzekloft.bsky.social, Semih Aktepe, @danielheck.bsky.social) recently participated in a robustness reproduction of articles in Nature Human Behaviour. It was a nice learning experience to check the reproducibility of others' code and to think about useful additional robustness analyses
