In our new review, we discuss how aiming for the best answers leads to inconsistent perception: In this digest, I will present some examples. The first is that the Brentano illusion affects the length (green) of a line, but not the endpoints (blue) (1/5)

If we apply the most popular method to the average age of a youth soccer team, we get a result (red) that differs from the actual mean (blue):

The responses to this tweet made it to the scientific literature in my paper on the bias and precision of reporting the average age.(.

Scientists have a peculiar way to report the average age of their human participants. They suggest they know this average with a few days precision, but introduce a half year bias. Read about it in my short paper Thanks to all of you who answered my poll.

Mooi stuk over @AJCReuten haar promotie onderzoek van de afgelopen 4 jaar.

Please retweet! A question for those who have human participants in their research. How do you determine the age of your participants (with which resolution)?.

This is an elegant experiment using a new task (grasping thin objects using a precision grip) to find out how grasping is controlled. The answer: "the digits-in-space hypothesis provides the most plausible account of the data". Worth reading!.

In de krant lees je veel over de taalbeheersing van studenten. Als docent kom je pareltjes tegen. Een 1e jaars bachelor student schrijft “… wordt het onderwerp gevraagd te kiezen welke stimulus. ”. Dat klinkt onbegrijpelijk, maar vertalen naar het Engels werkt verhelderend….
