New work from our lab: Can psychometric methods alone tell us what cognitive tasks measure?
@gidon-frischkorn.bsky.social, Ricardo Rebmann & @koberauer.bsky.social argue no – and show how computational models can do what correlations between tasks cannot. 🧵👇

I wrote up something that's been in my head for a while: psychometric methods alone can't tell us what cognitive tasks and their indicators measure.
Correlating indicators across tasks is circular when constructs are defined by those same correlations.
