🚨🚨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.

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."

I was so looking forward to teaching my Thought & Cognition class in person tomorrow, without a camera, for the first time since COVID started. Now students are asking whether I can also stream online as there may be local transport strikes.
