FWIW, I'm not a professor but as a recent undergrad, I can confirm previous research saying notes don't help study anyway, self-testing does. So withholding them won't help them make better notes.

Additionally, if you're withholding slides but then examining their understanding of the content using specific, definable criteria for what is correct/incorrect, then you better be very explicit about what you're actually teaching in your lectures.

what if we all agreed to use each other's target stimuli as fillers in syntax experiments

A new paper building on Wong et al (2022) again shows that the misuse of Bayes factors is prevalent, and as far as I can see *massively* higher than the misuse of frequentist p-values: https://psyarxiv.com/du3fc/. Really appreciate these proponents of Bayes factors taking such a critical look at how Bayes factors are used. I think Bayes factors will soon join p-rep and 'the new statistics' as a failed alternative to p-values. 1/2

Vous faites de l'#IA #nlp ? de l'informatique ? Vous allez avoir besoin de ce bingo #éthique (réalisé avec @emilymbender) :

KataGo, one of the best #Go Playing #AI can be defeated by amateurs, using a simple trick... which is easily countered at amateur level.

"Even professional-level AI systems may harbor surprising failure modes". Imagine similar failures in critical systems (self-driving cars). There is no better summary of the state of the art in #MachineLearning.

At long last our paper

"Neural dynamics of phoneme sequences reveal position-invariant code for content & order" is out!

“The disproportionate scientific productivity of elite researchers can be largely explained by their substantial labor advantage rather than inherent differences in talent.” #AcademicMastodon #ScienceMastodon https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abq7056

1/ Excited to share our new paper "Labor advantages drive the greater productivity of faculty at elite universities" in @ScienceAdvances with @hneutr @danlarremore @aaronclauset

Why do faculty publication rates increase so much with prestige? Let’s go!: 🧵
