I feel like it should be "cause" in the intro & method; yet less so in the conclusions. To honestly reflect the aim, but we probably didn't get there.
Super excited to be part of this study!
Another successful Rainclouds workshop at Uni Marburg with @jordyvanlangen.bsky.socialgithub.com/jorvlan/rain...@florian-hintz.bsky.social#PsychSciSky#dataviz#Rstats
Also giving a talk on Cognitive Fluctuations! It is an overview on how variability is structured in cognitive tasks. If you're curious what it's about check out the slides here: www.njudd.com/cognitive-fl...#neuroskyence#DevPsych#PsychSciSky#cogpsych#Science#cognition
Students in my causal inference class have found the applied papers we read challenging to parse due to technical language. Then we read Dee & Penner's 2017 RD paper on ethnic studies. What a beautifully written paper that is both rigorous & accessible. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.3...
