🚨🚨New paper! Finally have my first modeling paper is published in CBB. We show that habit-goal interactions can be modeled using a sequential sampling framework. Even for our complex cognitive model, paramter estimation is in principle possible with simulation-based methods.

Interview with Josi Driessen during the Dutch conference Law Enforcement and Behavior. Her research examined how regulations and enforcement influence the sense of agency and feelings of responsibility for own actions when one is following rules or orders. bit.ly/3RQubeg

YOU are invited (if an academic, APS member or present or retired scientist) to protest the Woke Takeover of Psychology. unsafescience.substack.com/p… "The APS in almost instantly dismissing Fiedler acted in a reprehensible way that is not fitting for a scientific association."

If you are an active SSM member, you should by now have received a ballot over email inviting you to vote for a new Secretary-Archivist and Treasurer. Also, you are asked to approve a couple of changes in the bylaws. We need to fulfill a quorum so please take 4 minutes to vote!

Reading about the Buffalo and Texas shootings is just heartbreaking! Unsurprisingly, there is a strong correlation between guns per capita and gun deaths (here is a graph from Business Insider). But it will probably not change so we can expect more tragedies in the future :(
