Toward the cognitive modeling of dynamic decision making Open
Although most research into risky decision making has focused on simple scenarios – where isolated choices are made independent of one another – many important decisions in life play out across sequences of interdependent events and action…
Decision making under extinction risk Open
In everyday life, people routinely make decisions that involve irredeemable risks such as death (e.g., while driving). Even though these decisions under extinction risk are common, practically important, and have different properties compa…

Extreme-Value Signal Detection Theory for Recognition Memory: The Parametric Road Not Taken Open
Signal Detection Theory has long served as a cornerstone of psychological research, particularly in recognition memory. Yet its conventional application hinges almost exclusively on the Gaussian assumption—an adherence rooted more in histo…
A Critical Test of Signal Detection Theory in Visual Working Memory Open
Signal detection theory (SDT) provides a prominent framework for modelling recognition memory judgments. Although specific SDT model variants have been extensively tested in working memory, fundamental properties like random-scale represen…
Critical testing in recognition memory: Selective influence, single-item generalization, and the high-threshold hypothesis. Open
In recent years, discussions comparing high-threshold and continuous accounts of recognition-memory judgments have increasingly turned their attention toward critical testing. One of the defining features of this approach is its requiremen…

Discourse on measurement Open
Measurement literacy is required for strong scientific reasoning, effective experimental design, conceptual and empirical validation of measurement quantities, and the intelligible interpretation of error in theory construction. This disco…

On Bayes factors for hypothesis tests Open
We develop alternative families of Bayes factors for use in hypothesis tests as alternatives to the popular default Bayes factors. The alternative Bayes factors are derived for the statistical analyses most commonly used in psychological r…
Evaluating the robustness of parameter estimates in cognitive models: A meta-analytic review of multinomial processing tree models across the multiverse of estimation methods. Open
Researchers have become increasingly aware that data-analysis decisions affect results. Here, we examine this issue systematically for multinomial processing tree (MPT) models, a popular class of cognitive models for categorical data. Spec…
Convergence of Age Differences in Risk Preference, Impulsivity, and Self-Control: A Multiverse Analysis Open
Objectives Numerous theories exist regarding age differences in risk preference and related constructs, yet many of them offer conflicting predictions and fail to consider convergence between measurement modalities or constructs. To pave t…

Abstract 1770 Targeting glutamine availability with glutaminase 1-based glioblastoma therapy Open
Glioblastomas (GBM) are the most lethal central nervous system (CNS) tumors, mainly due to their high heterogeneity, invasiveness, and proliferation rate. These tumors remain a therapeutic challenge, and there are still some gaps in the GB…
Introducing the Extinction Gambling Task Open
Decisions about extinction risks are ubiquitous in everyday life and for our continued existence as a species. We introduce a new risky-choice task that can be used to study this topic: The Extinction Gambling Task. Here, we investigate tw…
Retrieving Effectively from Source Memory: Evidence for Differentiation and Local Matching Processes Open
The ability to distinguish between different explanations of human memory abilities continues to be the subject of many ongoing theoretical debates. These debates attempt to account for a growing corpus of empirical phenomena in item-memor…

Absolute and relative stability of loss aversion across contexts. Open
Individuals' decisions under risk tend to be in line with the notion that "losses loom larger than gains." This loss aversion in decision making is commonly understood as a stable individual preference that is manifested across different c…
On Piecemeal Testing and The Possibility of Psychological Science Open
This paper examines the practice of piecemeal testing in psychological science. We appraise a recent line of argument against its use in practice based on the conclusions drawn from a thought experiment purporting to show that piecemeal te…
Lifespan trajectories of risk preference, impulsivity, and self-control: A dataset containing self-report, informant-report, behavioral, hormone and functional neuroimaging measures from a cross-sectional human sample Open
This paper describes data collected from a cross-sectional convenience sample of 200 healthy human adult volunteers between 16 and 81 years of age. We assembled an extensive battery of measures of risk preference, impulsivity, and self-con…
This is a question? Prosody and the N400 effect Open
In spoken language, the prosodic contours of a speaker’s voice, including the volume, duration, and intonation of each syllable, influence the moment-to-moment processing of the utterance’s meaning. A robust body of literature supports the…
Metabolic Profiles Point Out Metabolic Pathways Pivotal in Two Glioblastoma (GBM) Cell Lines, U251 and U-87MG Open
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal central nervous system (CNS) tumor, mainly due to its high heterogeneity, invasiveness, and proliferation rate. These tumors remain a therapeutic challenge, and there are still some gaps in the GBM bio…
Better Accuracy for Better Science . . . Through Random Conclusions Open
Conducting research with human subjects can be difficult because of limited sample sizes and small empirical effects. We demonstrate that this problem can yield patterns of results that are practically indistinguishable from flipping a coi…
