- Reposted by Jonas DoraI kept reading EMA studies claiming to test etiological theories of AUD, but I realized they never actually measured how people experience AUD in their daily lives. So we set out to see what we could learn with existing data. 1/19 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

- New Stage 2 RR published in Clinical Psych Science: doi.org/10.1177/2167... contrary to what some claim, urgency DOES NOT moderate associations between affect and alcohol/cannabis use in EMA data. Take a look for a comprehensive test of this idea and let us know what you think!

- A fun memory I just remembered: When @kevinmking.bsky.social interviewed me for his postdoc position a lifetime ago, his Zoom background was the Eye of Sauron. Not sure if that makes him Saruman. Would that make me Wormtongue? Discuss
- Reposted by Jonas DoraAny computational RL people have thoughts (or even better a link to a paper) about effect sizes in the context of RL parameters like learning rate? I vaguely remember talking to someone about effect sizes possibly not being very meaningful…but a paper on the topic would be awesome!!

- Our experimental alcohol administration study on the tension reduction hypothesis has been published in Addiction! 🎉 See preprint thread below for a summary :) Https://doi.org/10.1111/add.70213
- I'm excited to share a new preprint: In a novel experimental paradigm, we found evidence that stress induces a computational bias during alcohol-related decision-making in favor of alcohol, but this bias was only sometimes strong enough to overcome competing considerations (e.g., taste preferences).
