Psychology needs better theories. Sure. But how do we build such theories? And what actually makes a good theory?
Together with Alexander Wendt, I have edited a collected volume, "Theory and Model Building in Psychology," which tries to answer some of these questions.

Had an amazing time with the Tartan Army in Boston Common! The World Cup has brought love, bagpipes, and a random lobster to town. I was a bit concerned for the lobster's well-being, but he was safely returned to the crazy person who brought him 😅 Fingers crossed he was released after! Happy FIFA!

Curious about the human ability to extract regularities from sensory input (i.e., “statistical learning”) and individual differences therein? #CognitiveScience #Learning

An abbreviation (ABB) in a journal article (JA) or Grant Application (GA) is rarely worth the words it saves. Every ABB requires cognitive resources (CR) and at my age by the time I'm halfway through a JA or GA I no longer have the CR to remember what your ABB stood for.

Children are incredible language learning machines. But how do they do it? Our latest paper, just published in TICS, synthesizes decades of evidence to propose four components that must be built into any theory of how children learn language. 1/

Assessing reading skills for an entire school’s worth of children is challenging and time-consuming – unless you’re using ROAR-CAT! 📚🦁Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) to assess reading abilities. Post by Anthony Cruz; #psynomBRM paper by @anyawma, @KlintKanopka and colleagues buff.ly/IuhWKaB

🧠 Just out with @pennypexman.bsky.social “Simulation in the ‘Blind’ Mind”.
We found that even without conscious imagery (aphantasia), people still simulate sensorimotor info when processing language. 💭🔤
