      🧵💡 Disciplines wax and wane often for incidental reasons. Three examples: statistics, human vision research, adult developmental psychology… 0️⃣

      🧵Σ As a student, statistics seemed like the ugliest, more boring, most stagnant field I’d ever heard of. It’s now the one I’m most excited about. What changed? Smart people realized the boring stuff also doesn’t work. There’s a meta-rational revolution going on in the field.

      🧵Σ The meta-rational revolution in statistics is partly driven by external force, namely the replication crisis and research practices reform movement. (Fast computers enabling new methods do also play a role.) 1︎⃣

      🧵👁 Human vision research appears to have ended around 1990 (based on a recent two-day-long literature search). That’s when I finished my PhD and stopped following the field. What happened? There were exciting open questions, and good methods for addressing them.

      🧵👁 My impression is that fMRI killed the field. It had tremendous promise, so everyone switched to using it, and then it took a couple decades to figure out it doesn’t really work, and by that time the old methods had been forgotten. 2︎⃣

      🧵🧠 Adult developmental psychology also ended in the early 1990s. There were strong results, exciting open questions, and good methods. The studies under way in the late 80s, which should have answered key questions, were never published. Did they get null or ambiguous results?

      He and his several doctoral students were almost the last in the field. Kohlberg (on moral cognition) was huge; he committed suicide in 1987. Major figures in adult emotional development included Erikson and Loevinger e.g. Cognitivists include Basseches and Michael Commons e.g.

          Most people in the field switched from psychology to management consulting. Some names there include Bill Torbert (seven-stage theory of leadership), Chris Argyris, Suzanne Cook-Greuter, and Otto Laske.
