Joined June 2011
Now out in Journal of Anxiety Disorders: We performed a content analysis on 12 questionnaires to measure Climate Anxiety and found surprising little overlap, highlighting that more consensus on the definition and measurement of this construct is needed!
We brachten de overlap tussen 12 klimaatangstschalen in kaart: 119 items beschreven 57 symptomen, met weinig overlap tussen vragenlijsten. Meer consensus is nodig over de definitie en meting van klimaatangst. Lees meer:

New publication lead by the fabulous @AngelosVanKr. In a conceptual replication attempt of the work by Lissek and colleagues, we find no evidence for increased fear generalization in a group with high panic disorder symptoms compared to a control group.

@lakens It's a low bar to pass as a scientific field - but we've passed it 🙏 now maybe we could move forward towards a state of the field where we don't have to replicate published research findings because we can actually trust them lol (I feel like this was the case prior to the 80s)

@Theo_Besson95 @rougier_m @moritzingendahl @BunghezCatalina ...probably depending on the complexity of the stimuli. Ratings are probably more sensitive than implicit measures. Would be great to have a meta-analysis on the MEE to test moderating factors. AFAIK, not so much work (possibly none?) has done this empirically using meta-analysis

@joarhalvorsen This seems like the more pessimistic interpretation. Pretty impressed that such a simple task predicts BMI >20 years later. It's not the magic test it was once claimed to be, but not entirely useless apparently. Esp in light of the multitude of other factors (eg, SES, race, ...)

@SpeciesTypical Thx for clarifying, though still slightly vague criteria IMO. Rgrding the initial question: Possibly books/films/internet to store information for long term outside of the brain (taking a broad perspective on 'the system'). I also wonder how evo recent autistic spec traits are
