"Common task-fMRI measures are not currently suitable for brain biomarker discovery or for individual-differences research" bc they are highly unreliable (by @max12elliott).

Good to learn after 20+ years of empirical work...

Here an interesting piece feat. among others @russpoldrack, with a list of ways forward. I would add to the list "draw inferences proportional to the evidence", which this field hasn't been particularly good at (but is not alone in that of course).

And here some nice ways forward by @ajshackman; couldn't agree more with sentiments like "There is a clear need for new funding mechanisms to support psychometric research and paradigm development".

For those who cannot join my talk on lack of theory in psychology today (2pm CEST, stream pmltalks.nl), here a summary in 6 comics, adapted from the brilliant original by @MrLovenstein.
2/6
 Adapted to fit the talk, which is about mismatch between data and theory.
3/6
With most psychological theories, the most benign situation we can find ourselves in is one where we acknowledge that our data are not actually informative about our theory.

Holy theory batman!

In this thread, I summarize 6 preprints on theory in psychology, 3 of which came online in the last week.

🧵
1) Denny Borsboom @rogierK et al. on the Theory Construction Methodology. The authors provide a practical framework for theory formation in psychology, using the example of mutualism.

2) @IrisVanRooij & @giosuebaggio with their new preprint entitled "Theory before the test: How to build high-verisimilitude explanatory theories in psychological science".

The authors discuss how theoretical analyses can endow theories with plausibility.

1/ Your @APA membership fees at work, ladies & gentlemen.

While APA was once committed to distributing scientific information, it has become a gatekeeper to withholding scientific information from the public.

Time to stop reviewing for APA journals.
2/ And I'm not making a legal case: of course they can sick lawyers on us. I'm making the case that a legitimate scientific organization should be happy if folks share work—it's free advertisement. Going after people who *share their own work online* proves this is just about $$$
3/ If you're an APA member, please ask yourself if you're happy how APA spends your membership fees.

@jayvanbavel started a petition about this a few months back, in case you are interested:
