New from the @CIA_Lab - the first paper from @rhythmicpsych's PhD on learning and transfer in coordinated rhythmic movements (OSF project here: bit.ly/2HQxOOp) A brief thread on the paper...

Had a great response teaching first year psychology students about big data using sea hero quest. Demonstrating the expansive toolkit available to us as cognitive scientists is a huge amount of fun!

Enrichment Vs Direct perception getting some airtime tonight! Although, this discussion isn't as flesher out. It just shows how current this debate is.

Thanks for engaging. My point is: I'm not convinced analogy shows what is intended to show. I'm a cog psychologist, and I would not take people's (or computer's) ability to classify as evidence that there are really 2 *kinds* of faces, just that we humans classify them as such.
Perceptual enrichment Vs direct perception - can illusions inform us of the nature of perception? Fun discussion!

Doesn't this quite nicely show that we need to "enrich" the information we pick up (i.e. no direct perception) for it to make sense? @SteveStuWill @PsychScientists

Learning entails perceiving information for action.

1966: England won the World Cup. Labour won the General Election with an outright majority. Let's end 52 years of football hurt and 40 years of neoliberal hurt all in one go. #GE2018Now #PeoplesElection #ItsComingHome #ENGCRO

The compromise power analysis is conceptually confusing. Isn't the whole point of the power analysis to put yourself in the best position possible to find an effect (if there is one)? @lakens @chrisdc77 @PsychScientists tinyurl.com/y7bul87v

I'd also flag up that the areas that these things tend to crop up are the areas of incredibly underpowered science. Surely you need a well-established effect size for the compromise to be somewhat appropriate? Thus you have unestablished effect size being fed into a compromise.
Replying to @BSlugocki @MovementMiyagi @CoachRichBartel
In Eco Psych terms, transfer comes b/c the performer learns to couple their movement with specifying perceptual information resulting in an effective movement solution. Nothing is “retrieved” to control the action. It happens online. Will be talking about this more next week

Every paper has open data if they present a scatterplot. 1) Download WebPlotDigitizer automeris.io/WebPlotDigitize… 2) Load a scatterplot screenshot 3) Select each datapoint 4) Download the .CSV file with each datapoint
