Here is a relevant poll, plus discussion: https://twitter.com/wgervais/status/957319964347764736 … (specific for social psychology, but I’m not sure eg developmental & cogn psychology would score much differently, unless the latter are part of cogsci).
does the use of modeling factor in here? do you think areas with more of a computational tradition tend to have more specific theoretical predictions?
Indeed. I see computational modelling as theoretical tool, so yes that factors in. For me personally, primary role of theory/modeling is understanding and explanation, and prediction is secondary (means to an end, not the end itself as some psychologists seem to phrase/view it).
Agreed. Modelling in comp cog/neuro is primarily explanatory although often predictions fall out of the explanatons. This is then fed back into the overarching theoretical framework which might then go on to make predictions.
Depends who's creating the papers. My lab puts untested predictions in the model papers. It's a great way to write and ensures ( baring outright lying) that predictions are not post hoc.
I don't think what we said precludes that at all.
I interpreted "fall out" as meaning accidental rather than deliberate but I can see you might have meant it differently.
