- Rubia de verano #lecturasMV Todo un bestiario de mezquindades y miserias postadolescentes. No me ha vuelto loco, pero el retrato de los personajes es bastante profundo, teniendo en cuenta que se trata de relatos muy breves.

- Mezquindad sin medida...
- Crímenes imaginarios #lecturasMV Un escritor de poca monta concibe un plan para asesinar a su mujer que nunca llega a ejecutar. Cuando esta desaparece, todas las sospechas recaen sobre él. Pero el verdero crimen sólo sucederá al final del libro. Magnífica novela.
- Reposted by Miguel VadilloPeer Review is broken because a generation of Editors were trained that peer review is sacrosanct. Thus we have Editors who are clerks, sending and re-sending manuscripts to reviewers until they are happy. That's not the job. Be an Editor, not a clerk. Use your skill and judgement. Make decisions.

- Reposted by Miguel VadilloWe should no longer trust data collected on MTurk link.springer.com/article/10.3... My guess is that other online data is going to drop in quality due to LLMs. This is going to be an existential crisis for the behavioral sciences.
- Viajes con Heródoto #lecturasMV Kapuscinski fue reportero durante varias décadas en Asia y África, siempre con la Historia de Heródoto en la mochila. El libro admite muchas lecturas; entre otras, es un reconocimiento a su compañero de viaje durante tantos años. Magnífico libro.

- Sobre Dios #lecturasMV Dios sabe que anhelo una vida más espiritual y trascendente, sobre todo cuando salen los niños del cole. Pero el misticismo de Han y Weil no es de mi talla. El veneno está en la dosis. Y ellos se han bebido la botella entera.
- El maestro de Go #lecturasMV En el relato de Kawabata, la derrota del maestro contra el joven Otake se convierte en una alegoría del conflicto entre generaciones y del declive de la tradición frente a la modernidad. Me ha gustado mucho.
- Metodología para la historia de la psicología #lecturasMV Otra lectura de 2025 que no quiero dejar sin etiquetar aquí. Coquetea con el postmodernismo, pero contiene ideas valiosísimas.
- Vidas escritas #lecturasMV No conseguí que esta portada apareciera correctamente listada en este hashtag, pero las pequeñas biografías de Marías han sido una de mis lecturas favoritas de 2025.
- La sociedad del cansancio #lecturasMV Aún no tengo una opinión clara sobre Byung-Chul Han, pero es difícil no estar de acuerdo en que trabajamos demasiado, que se trata en buena medida de un mal autoimpuesto y que cierta dosis de aburrimiento forma parte de una vida sana.

- Reposted by Miguel VadilloTwo years ago, I had an idea, one that evolved over time as I kept reading and learning. Today, a major first part of that idea has just become my first PhD preprint, now publicly available on PsyArxiv. Let me tell you a bit more about the story behind it... while I prepare the submission.
- A Unified Framework for Psychometrics in Experimental Psychology: The Standardized Generalized Hierarchical Factor Model: osf.io/gv6k7
- Vidas imaginarias #lecturasMV Cada relato se basa en la biografía de un personaje histórico real, pero mezclada con episodios ficticios, con un estilo muy similar al del realismo magico. Recuerda a Borges y a Stevenson a partes iguales.
- "The problem with bad science is not so much the overconfident conjectures–such steps may be psychologically necessary–so much as the unwillingness to reflect on contrary evidence, the unwillingness to admit error, and the practice of not confronting past mistakes."

- Hombres fósiles #lecturasMV Crónica periodística del descubrimiento de Ardipitecus ramidus. Me costó entrar en el libro pero ha terminado gustándome mucho. Plagado de ideas interesantes sobre la sociología de la ciencia y los límites de la ciencia abierta en un ámbito con difícil acceso a los datos.
- Declaración de buenos propósitos para 2026.
- "Against our predictions, monolinguals generally outperformed bilinguals in word learning regardless of mapping type, and trial-by-trial analyses did not reveal differences in learning as expected."
- @matildellen.bsky.social bravely decided to do a registered report with @pci-regreports.bsky.social as the first manuscript of her PhD -- 2+ years later, it's out! It's on how bilingualism affects statistical word learning, and the results were quite unexpected. Read more:

- Reposted by Miguel VadilloDiederik Stapel was a massive watershed moment in psychology. However, he was -- and let's be slightly glib here -- some guy from The Netherlands who wrote social psychology papers. The full accounting of the Eysenck case is approx, at minimum, TWO STAPELS. retractionwatch.com/2025/12/03/n...

- El ingenio de los pájaros #lecturasMV Los cuervos dominarán el mundo! Y si no me creeis, Ackerman os convencerá. Precioso libro de divulgación sobre psicología comparada. Los experimentos sobre la memoria de los pájaros me siguen fascinando.

- Genes de colores #lecturasMV La desaparición de Next Door fue una verdadera pérdida para la divulgación científica en castellano. Durante la liquidación, me hice con un ejemplar del libro de Montoliu, que he disfrutado enormemente. Mi capítulo favorito, el de las manchas tricolor de las gatas.
- Reposted by Miguel VadilloThere is no reason why systematic reviews can't be open. The data used for synthesis is *already* open and there are many excellent open source tools that can facilitate the easy sharing of analysis scripts. Here's a nice guide for performing open systematic reviews doi.org/10.1525/coll...

- Un científico en el armario #lecturasMV Aunque la portada parece prometer una biografía de Pío del Río Hortega, se trata en realidad de una crónica de las diferentes figuras que contribuyeron a la neurociencia española de principios del sXX, primero a la sombra de Cajal y luego en el exilio.

In a project led by the wonderful @aliciafrancomnez.bsky.social (w/ Alicia Ferrer-Mendieta, Carmen Peiro-Lanchares, and @mavadillo.bsky.social), we test how different manipulations affect the response validity of the Perceptual Awareness Scale (PAS).

Sin ocultar su entusiasmo por la ciencia, Montoliu ofrece una panorámica realista de las luces y las sombras de esta profesión, desde el grado hasta la jubilación
