Will physicians better categorize X-ray and ECG images if given more time per image?

Medical residents and staff viewed 50-100 images for 175 milliseconds to 20 seconds.

Neither viewing time nor experience seemed to be strong predictors of true positive and false positive categorizations.

Authors admit, "All viewing times in both studies were likely too brief to represent clinical practice."

Hi, @ttpphd. I’m guessing that admission/realization was the result of peer review (after completing the study).

Should appeal to politically people who are paranoid about ?

Does “” thought heroize only White, male ?

This longish piece in the sketches the history of , its proponents (like ), its recent proponents on the right (like ), and more.

To me, it seems bizarre that classical education appeals to people who are paranoid about wokeism in schools. The “Western” tradition does not vindicate conservative Judeo-Christian thought or debunk either progressive thought or non-religious traditions.

friends,

Help me diagnose an issue with APA's PsycNET by voting on one or both of these polls (where the APA can see the results):

https://www.threads.net/@byrd.nick/post/C1r3t3suRml

Context: APA's PsycNET is chronically inaccessible to me. To diagnose this, I need to figure out the scope of the problem. (Want more context? See my replies to either one of the polls.)

Thanks to anyone who helps me with this!

friends,

Is 's chronically inaccessible to you?

(It usually blocks me for "trying to access ...using a different IP". No other journal article sites have issues with my IP or block me. Just APA's.)

If you often experience what I do, then PsycNET may be unprepared for shared IPs on campus networks and services (e.g., 's Private Relay).

Hat tip to @elduvelle for asking me to poll this site.

Can the civic and rational benefits of discussion and argument mapping be combined?

Platforms like BCause and Kialo attempt to find out.

Here's a recent conference paper about the former: https://aclanthology.org/2023.sicon-1.5

The dissertation associated with this research about online discussion research is now available: https://doi.org/10.21954/ou.ro.00017252

“Argument mapping is about twice as effective at improving student critical thinking as other methods [but] there are obstacles preventing philosophy teachers from adopting it.” A new app helps. https://dailynous.com/2023/07/28/an-accessible-and-user-friendly-argument-mapping-app-guest-post/

Thanks to @DailyNous for posting and especially to Alex for contextualizing the initial claim about argument mapping (from the pull quote):

https://dailynous.com/2023/07/28/an-accessible-and-user-friendly-argument-mapping-app-guest-post/#comment-443487

TLDR; there are least 4 problems with the claim that "Argument mapping is about twice as effective at improving student critical thinking as other methods".

Problems 3 and (the first part of) 4.
The rest of problem 4 and caveats.

An important model posits two routes to persuasion. A peripheral route relies on superficial cues of credibility; a central route involves depth consideration of the reasons and evidence.

The Gino arguments seem to bank on readers sticking with the peripheral route.

@odr_k4tana @briannosek

I thought Gino claimed that Data Colada didn’t include all the seemingly strange data points their methods revealed and that when one considers all such data points, Data Colada’s accusation seems unsupported. That’s not superficial, logically. So unless someone clearly explains how Gino’s analysis errs, the burden of proof shifts, no?

(Ironically, I didn’t see an argument for the claim that Gino’s objections rely on peripheral and not central routes.)

How soon do you expect replies to ?

When I ask colleagues, answers range from hours to days. This ambiguity may be a source of stress. So I've prepended a disclaimer to my email line: "No pressure to read or reply outside your normal working hours, of course."

Generally, I rarely need a response within a week. In rare cases in which my email is motivated by an immanent , I try to disclose that to my recipient.

What do you do?

ByrdNick,
@ByrdNick@nerdculture.de avatar

Another realization:

People often respond to emails that did not require a response.

To save them the time it takes to respond, I've started ending these emails with "(No need to reply.)"

I wonder, however, if there is a friendlier way to say this. Suggestions welcome!

🤔 "causal information at decision time can lead to less accurate choices in domains that relate to existing knowledge".

Possible explanations: (a) fluency effect or (b) expertise reversal effect.

Around 50% of PhDs got permanent academic jobs in 2012. Guess the percentage for 2021. (Scroll for answer.)

Indeed. I wonder how these results were impacted by missing data, @philippsteinkrueger.

"Our coverage is ...better in the United States,.... In the United States we have around 90% of those graduates recorded by the National Science Foundation."

Because data seem to have been collected from departments (which want to report high placement in jobs, especially permanent academic jobs), I would expect that adding missing data would be more likely to decrease these percentages than increase them.
