Different evaluation methods may categorize subset-knowers as CP-knowers and the other way around. Picture below: how various methods categorize children differently. See details in psyarxiv.com/cz9ug

The SNARC effect may work only with symbolic numbers. It seems to work with nonsymbolic numbers when the task requires symbolic responses, such as "smaller"-"larger", but not without them. doi.org/10.1037/xhp0... or www.thenumberworks.org/discrete_sem...

Flyer with images of the Washington State University and University at Albany logos, followed by the following text: Dear Colleagues, We (Dr. Mary DePascale, University at Albany, SUNY; Dr. Nicole Scalise, Washington State University) are currently conducting a meta-analysis on the effectiveness of early math interventions. We are currently requesting unpublished data on this topic to include in our meta-analysis. Specifically, we are looking for datasets that include: 1. Child participants (preschool age; ages 3 to 6 years) 2. An early math intervention (not including curricula) 3. A control or comparison group 4. At least one child math outcome collected after the intervention (e.g., posttest data) If you are willing to share your data or have questions about whether your data fits these criteria, please email us directly (mdepascale@albany.edu, nicole.scalise@wsu.edu) by November 9, 2025. Thank you! Dr. Mary DePascale & Dr. Nicole Scalise

Should you use LLMs to summarize articles or conduct systematic reviews?
No!
1-LLMs canโt evaluate article quality
2-They overstate study results
3-WTH is the point of being an academic if we donโt even read each others work!!!
Iโm looking for a study where someone has looked at accuracy on Ravenโs matrices (or similar) items under extreme time pressure at the item level (not time pressure at the test level). I canโt find anything, but surely this study must exist?
Well, Francesco deserves credit sometimes I guessโฆ ๐

Really enjoyed reading this thoughtful and insightful piece on tips for school-based data collection by @natashacguy.bsky.social. It's clear, practical, and packed with great advice. A must-read for anyone planning research projects in schools!
In our new paper, we identify six key phases for success in bridging the gap between research and practice, drawing together findings from a range of disciplines:
