Excited to have been wrong about this! A few years ago, Tal told me he was working on intuitions about complexity. I knee-jerkily said, “but surely that’s not a natural kind! Why think that people have intuitions about complexity across domains?”
Good thing this is the last time I’ll ever be wrong!
I always admire when folks publish their papers accompanied by a supplementary-style page on their website - such a high-value and potentially more accessible #openscience way to directly communicate research (plus I imagine it improves peer-review, is there data on that somewhere?)
The program for the 52nd meeting of the SPP is now available ✨

What a cool result!

Super excited about this paper by the amazing @talboger.bsky.social, now in press @ @nathumbehav.nature.com!
Before you ask: No, it has no corresponding lab merch (cf www.perceptionresearch.org/anagrams/mer...).
But yes, it has deep questions, creative experiments, and foundational implications!
"for example, participants who find simple shapes aesthetically pleasing also find simple melodies pleasing"
the science is clear: you are not not qualified for a SRE team if you don't enjoy hyperpop, breakcore, djent, etc.

Thrilled to have this preprint out, from the amazing Zekun Sun!
"Motor abstraction training generalizes to the refinement of specific movement patterns"
In brief, across 8 experiments we found evidence of a causal role for abstract representations in motor learning
