In our new study (with @TimJRees), we show that genetically predicted memory capacity is independently associated with self-reported foreign language proficiency in both children and adults. More memory-enhancing alleles = better language skills. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4042…

"kids who thought going to university to learn coding may be in trouble now?... YES" Nobel Laureate, Geoffrey Hinton: AI tutors could outperform humans by using data to pinpoint misunderstandings. it will make universities less necessary for undergraduate learning, but vital for research training.

Very excited to share our new preprint! 📢 We investigated how often researchers misinterpret statistically nonsignificant results as the absence of an effect. Spoiler: it’s a lot (~81% of 599 articles)! Dive into our findings and their implications here: osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/hm…

Very excited to see this: a National Geographic documentary about one of the biggest frauds in social science—the Stanford Prison Experiment. Based on all the new evidence. Thibault Le Texier in particular deserves major credit for his work uncovering the truth.

Huberman: "Cold, in particular, can be leveraged to improve mental health, physical health, and performance... for endurance exercise, for recovering from various forms of exercise, for actually improving strength and power..." One thing almost unequivocal about cold immersion is that it inhibits recovery and diminishes strength and muscle mass adaptations. 🧵1/4

Sport is more than just fun and competition. There’s considerable health benefits too. This analysis of 2.6 million people across 76 studies found participation in various sports (including cycling, football, running, and swimming) was linked to: - Reductions in risk of all-cause mortality (-21-24%) - Favourable effects on aerobic fitness, body composition, and various health markers (like blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipids). This highlights the role of sport in “lifestyle medicine” to help prevent chronic disease. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3865…

Even small doses of resistance training can have big benefits. Some updated evidence on minimal dose resistance training approaches, including: “Weekend warrior”: a single weekly resistance training session “Single-set resistance training”: one set of multiple exercises, multiple days per week “Resistance exercise snacking”: brief bouts performed once or multiple times daily “Practising the test”: one maximal repetition in one or more sets, multiple days per week “Eccentric minimal dose”: low weekly volumes of submaximal or maximal eccentric-only repetitions All can improve muscle strength - and at lower doses than current recommended guidelines. Nice work from @JamesLNuzzo and co. link.springer.com/article/10…
