- Reposted by Andrea ReiterFinally listened to this lecture -- highly recommended if you've ever been confused about fixed effects vs. random effects models. Love that the framing starts from group-level confounding -- here's a problem, what could be solutions (rather than: here's a model, what are its features).
- This time I try to explain group-level confounding and some ways to deal with it. Lecture B04 of Statistical Rethinking 2026 - fixed effects, Mundlak machines, latent Mundlak machines, intro to social network analysis and the social relations model. Full lecture list: github.com/rmcelreath/s...
- Reposted by Andrea Reiter🧵 New paper in @NatureComms Feedback-induced attitudinal changes in risk preferences Nasioulas, Potier, Cerrotti, Lebreton & me (2026) Does feedback really improve risky decision-making? Short answer: no! it changes attitudes, not learning. 👇 rdcu.be/e0VcO

- New paper from our lab now in @nature.com . We show that our brains use basis functions or "building blocks" to navigate social interactions. Rather than tracking every individual separately, social information is compressed into patterns that can be flexibly combined. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Reposted by Andrea ReiterQuite the indictment of AI products: they are more appealing to people who don't understand how they work and see them as magical The paper concludes: "businesses may benefit from targeting those with lower AI literacy" and "maintaining an aura of magic around AI" ✨ tinyurl.com/ynefd8zk

- Reposted by Andrea ReiterThis is a really interesting point, and there are parallels with parenting adolescents too. It's easy to say adolescents need to be able to take risks (they do), but of course there are occasional very bad outcomes from doing so, and probably a more complex list than with children

- Reposted by Andrea Reiter🚨New paper alert!🚨 -- Registered report style! A "blue-print"! Some people seem born to explore: breaking new ground, traveling to new places. Others seem perfectly content to enjoy familiar comforts. This explore/exploit tradeoff is well-known, and varies across people and situations (1/6)

- Reposted by Andrea ReiterAlthough it is frequently discussed, AfD support appears only weakly correlated with objective economic conditions. The unemployment rate or the disposable income per capita of a municipality correlate only weakly with the AfD's vote share and its gains compared to 2019.
- Excited to share our new @plos.bsky.social paper! We wanted to understand how childhood socioeconomic status affects decision-making later in life. We studied ~13,000 adults across 61 countries 🌍 journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... (1/3)

- How does our ability to #trust others change during adolescence Is this shaped by earlier parenting experiences? Is trust related to the development of friendships in adolescence? Our study is out in Nature Communications: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Interestingly, the (self-reported) family enviornment /parenting they grew up with was linked to the development of trust in adolescence. Those who faced family adversity earlier in life showed a slower increase in trust during adolescence
- This study shows how our past may shape our ability to trust others, and is consisent with the view that trust is a powerful force in our social lives.
- great team effort funded by wellcome trust with my amazing collaborators Andreas Hula (who developed the computational trust model), Lucy Vanes @tobiasuhauser.bsky.social , Danae Kokorikou, Ian Goodyer, Peter Fonagy, Michael Moutoussis and Ray Dolan - very grateful

- best reason for my *first* post here: new preprint co-led by fantastic PhD student Lena Pollerhoff (still on the other side ;))&amazing @annesaulin.bsky.social asking how older&younger adults combine values for self&others to make (potentially) prosocial decisions #devpsyc #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky
- Are younger🧑or older🧓adults more prosocial in a complex social decision task?🧐 Short answer: Neither-but the decision processes are suprisingly different as we discovered in this great collaboration🙌led by Lena Pollerhoff from @anrei.bsky.social Lab #hddm #prosocial #aging osf.io/preprints/ps...
