I write homework assignments for students. I also need to create a different version of the same document with all the answers and scoring guide for the tutors (teaching assistants). It is irritating to create two different versions of the document by hand. To avoid this, I’ve come up with the following imperfect solution: Write the assignment in .Rmd.

The below is what we’ll be presenting at EPC 2017 (the Experimental Psychology Conference of Australasia) near Newcastle, Australia. The topics are attention and letter processing, word processing, and visual working memory. When do cues work by summoning attention to a target and when do they work by binding to it?

In this post I dissect the response by the editors of Cognition to a mass appeal for open access by the researcher community. I hope that my rather critical comments will improve understanding of the issues and help the community achieve better outcomes in the future.

In science, we frequently see a comparison between two groups of people that differ on multiple demographic variables, say age, IQ, and income, investigating some dependent measures, say body mass index (BMI).

It’s the end of the year, and I’m indulging myself by posting these Bayesian jokes. The first three were inspired by the #AcademicNoir hashtag.   Round up the usual suspects, sergeant. But sir, we haven’t a clue! Indeed we don’t. But we do have a prior. # Bayes # noir
