On other hand, if there was more coding built in to course, universities would likely take this into account for admissions, and if women less likely to take STEM at A-level, this could actually make it worse. Don’t think its reasonable to assume no bad consequences

And actually, this likely to be particularly bad for working class students.

This is starting to sound like an empirical question.
I used to incline towards pessimism, in that people who are put off by "(the idea of doing)" stats may also not like "(ditto) coding", but if those are correlated .9 then maybe there's no extra penalty for adding coding.1 reply 0 retweets 9 likes -

Olivia Guest | Ολίβια Γκεστ @o_guestReplying to @JimACEverett @aeronlaffere and 4 othersThey teach stats at undergrad, which is QUINTESSENTIALLY a STEM tool. What does coding change from the current system? Also all kids do basic coding at school in the UK now (as well as where I grew up). Anyway many Psych courses do teach coding now.1 reply 0 retweets 5 likes -

Adding in coding changes nothing. In fact it helps relieve rote learning SPSS menus.

Agreed... now I have 2 concrete concerns: 1. Where will the time come from to teach coding? (Not sure that "From the time not spent learning SPSS clicking" will be sufficient.) It's easy to have ideas for adding to a curriculum, but nobody wants their stuff to have less time.

We
@OpenUniversity used to teach cognitive modelling in three days at a summer school. Developed custom coding languages to help make it intuitive. It’s very doable.1 reply 1 retweet 3 likes
I've a friend and colleague who was UG at OU and they taught themselves C and then Python to do a cog comp focused PhD.
