Excited to announce a new version of my app, designed to teach the relationships between causality and regression, and also how to decide which regression to run based on the researcher's beliefs about the plausible causal structures. benrottman.github.io/Causali…
Now it is built in #shinylive so it runs in your browser! How cool is that - R running in your browser!?!?
Very excited to announce that my open source Research Methods for the social sciences course, osRMss, has been updated so that all activities are available on both #TopHat and #H5P, with immediate feedback! canvas.pitt.edu/courses/1249…
osRMss is especially focused on how researchers uncover causal relations. osRMss scaffolds people's intuitive understanding of causality to explain 'statistical controlling'. This Shiny app has gotten the most attention online: pitt.shinyapps.io/Rottman_Ca…
But there's lots of other material that I'm really proud of, such as exercises on deciding which scientific findings are really newsworthy, p-hacking, meta-analyses, and lot of other stuff. Hope you find it useful! @TeachPsych

Super interesting paper out from our lab head by @emilytcowan in collaboration with @BenRottman and twitterless Yiwen Zhang. There are some cool takes on temporal scale, spacing, and variability.

Check out this R Shiny App designed to explore causality and multiple regression: pitt.shinyapps.io/Rottman_Ca…
This tool helps you understand possible relationships between variables, including noise, confusion, alternative effects, mediation, and interaction/moderation. A very nice tool for anyone looking to deepen their analysis skills!
Big thanks to Ben Rottman, @TeachPsych, @PsychScience, and @APA for this invaluable resource, and to Rosana Ferrero for sharing this resource in a recent post.

Today in Nature, we show how a standard neural net, optimized for compositional skills, can mimic human systematic generalization (SG) in a head-to-head comparison. This is the capstone of a 5 year effort with Marco Baroni to make progress on SG. (1/8) nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Can people associate cause and effect events that occur hours apart? New work by Yiweng Zhang @BenRottman says they can, even after almost a full day. Post by @melinhlai wp.me/p8IxYp-2u6
