New preprint based on the 1st paper of my dissertation is online now! We used drift-diffusion models to examine the cognitive processes driving self-referential biases in patients with psychosis (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) during social perception 🧵1/N medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

How do your favorite disorders fare in a data-driven reorganization of the DSM-5?
Find out in this new preprint where we followed the patterns in 14,762 individuals’ symptoms with the goal of overcoming limitations in both the DSM and @HiTOP_system

ALT A representation of how symptoms of some exemplar constructs in the DSM-5 map onto the hierarchical structure we found. On the left are examples of disorders with symptoms that mostly hung together in the data-driven structure (i.e., ‘notably homogenous disorders’) and on the right are examples of disorders with symptoms that scattered throughout the data-driven structure (i.e., ‘notably heterogeneous disorders’).

Most brain-imaging studies make 3 questionable assumptions: mental events are localizable, map uniquely to dedicated #brain circuitry, & are independent of larger context. These 19th-century views need an update. New #OpenAccess paper in @TrendsCognSci. 1/ cell.com/trends/cognitive-sc…

As a person living with generalized anxiety disorder, questions such as these make me squirm. University admissions committees are not legally allowed to discriminate on the basis of disability, but this sure seems likely an easy way to dance around that.

Recently, a date said they were an INTJ (i.e., Myers Briggs). I told her, “I'm a PhD in psychology. I refuse to entertain some unscientific typology of personality with dubious scientific backing.”
I took pride in expressing my needs. As a Pisces, I really struggle with that.

There's a lot of debate about whether a p-factor exists and, if so, what it represents.
Just accepted at Psych Med, @JenCheavens, Emil Coccaro, & I tested the unidimensionality of a p-factor and its associations with 5 leading theories of p.
