“Noise” is a fascinating insight into judgment. It is now common for workplaces to use strategies to reduce bias. Should we also be aiming to reduce noise?

How well a group works together is a better predictor of collaborative intelligence (CI) than the skills of the individuals. Also CI is predicted by the proportion of women in a group, possibly because they increase social perceptiveness in the group: bit.ly/3p1CjZq ($)
Excited to present this at our TeachMeet today! Students' ability to predict their own learning is poor if they revise by re-reading notes, but much more accurate if they use retrieval practice #metacognition @AceThatTest learningscientists.org/learn…
Many teachers are currently creating test material. This paper shows it's important to consider that decorative pictures in a question can increase time students take to answer the question, without improving success rates #cognitiveload #assessment

Such an interesting paper. People often overlook subtractive approaches to problem-solving (e.g. removing a piece of equipment), instead opting for additive methods. Subtractive approaches are even less likely to be considered when the cognitive load is high.
News & Views: A series of problem-solving experiments presented in Nature reveal that people are more likely to consider solutions that add features than solutions that remove them, even when removing features is more efficient. go.nature.com/3uqFyLo
How can we get students to engage with written feedback rather than just focusing on numerical marks? This paper explores the impact of delaying the release of marks, thus separating the grade from the feedback (straightforward to do when marking assignments on Google classroom)

Asking students to make predictions is a useful learning strategy, because their surprise when outcomes differ from their suggestions can enhance their attention, leading to better cognitive processing of the correct answer.
