I have never met a UK psych undergrad who knew there was stats and they tend to think it's a huge shocking thing and initially (at least) dislike it and resent it.

Fair, but even though their precise knowledge is inaccurate they do have a correct understanding that the quant skill requirements in psych are << those in physics, maths.

My point was in the UK they have already done teaching coding to all years of undergrad — just like they go from t-test to linear regression and more over the 3 years in stats.

Basically my point boils down to: in the UK the tide has turned and we teach undergrads to code "against their will" just like we teach them research methods/stats "against their will".

Yes, exactly! "Poor little undergrads (mostly women) can't do a thing like code, oh, no." It's rampant.

I didn't say that, just that it might not be worth the time investment for them. Clinical students (e.g.) have a lot of specialized skills to cram into their limited curriculum. We need to be consider what is best for them.

I didn't say or suggest that they should get an easy ride. Quite the contrary, I think they have an enormously difficult pathway already. I share your enthusiasm for teaching coding but this is not the only hard challenge students face.

Yeah, we take the undergrads (all of them) all the way up to ANCOVA and regression. We can sprinkle in R and Python.
