2025.04.16. :exclamation: PAPER ALERT :exclamation: New Metric, New Rankings: Psychological Model Evaluation Rethinked. Check out our new paper, where we introduce g-distance to evaluate psychological models by comparing the range of behaviours they exhibit to the heterogeneity observed in human behaviour. Assessing not only how well models produce observed behaviours, but also how well they reject unobserved ones. Check it out at Psychological Review or read it here!
2025.02.26. :exclamation: PAPER ALERT :exclamation: Surprisingly, irrational generalization decreases as task demands rise—but only for ambiguous items! The only model capturing all data trends: rapid, competitive attentional shifts—a simpler alternative to the title-holder, EXIT. Check out our new paper in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review or read it here!
