Be cautious in interpreting the results from fitting cognitive/computational models!

This is, in some ways, obviously true. But it is quite common in the field (and even in my own work) to "over-interpret" results from model fitting. I think the real long term solution to this is pre-registration, so that we are not using models to "discover" effects but to make specific predictions.

@jerlich We discussed the same issue in the lab the other day... do you know of any best practices to pre-register computational models? #openscience
