Replying to @IrisVanRooij @bradpwyble and
This was really wonderful & well-written. I have also read
@EJWagenmakers recent blog post on preregistration in modeling work, and I am moved most strongly by your argument for limited resources.1 reply 1 retweet 3 likes -
Replying to @Alex_Danvers @IrisVanRooij and
Instead of trying to be really certain that a surprising effect is true, I like the goal of trying to explain things that we already find interesting (how people learn language, or how people have social interactions). "How does it work?" is often the most interesting question

I think
@EJWagenmakers point that you need to test models that are developed through exploration on new data is a fair one, and it represents a particular stage of developing a scientific explanation. But I also feel that psychology needs explanations more than effects right now1 reply 1 retweet 5 likes -
Replying to @Alex_Danvers @IrisVanRooij and
I have always harbored the hope that finding robust effects could lead us to ultimately develop theory by laying out what a good theory needs to account for. I still think that's true, and it does sometimes seem like an incisive experiment can help determine which theory is right

Replying to @Alex_Danvers @IrisVanRooij and
My secret concern in all this is that I don't quite have the math chops to contribute to psychology in the way that I want. I've got much more training in designing and running simple factorial experiments to establish effects than I do in formal modeling.

Replying to @Alex_Danvers @IrisVanRooij and
The real secret is that you don't need math expertise to do modelling, but there is a crucial set of skills related to thinking about interacting parts and mechanisms. Noone is really taught this skill, though, so everyone begins at the same place when they start modelling.

TBH you do need highschool (for me) linear algebra but YMMV. But that's nothing too extreme.

Yep, true that, pretty basic stuff and even that only intermittently. It's helpful to have an intuition of integration and surfaces too, but only as thinking tool.
