A brisk moderate walk before a task is linked to higher verbal creativity about an hour later, with findings replicated in a second study. The pattern suggests a specific window where movement enhances spontaneous idea generation, particularly for verbal tasks, rather than a general immediate boost.

The article is of interest to psychology enthusiasts because it highlights how everyday physical activity can interact with cognitive processes in real life settings, illustrating the dynamic link between movement and creative thinking.

Wondering in #psych #research & #longitudinal data, how our #between-person research is still driving our #within-person studies?
#new: "The #Between-Not-Within #fallacy coined and exemplified: why studying a within-person uniform #measurement #bias is driven by between-person differences in intensive longitudinal data"

I imagine there are some other folks on here who keep a file of papers to convince skeptical colleagues that, yes, you really can use ecological momentary assessment, even in that sample?

Here's another example: Folks waiting for spinal surgery

These folks are often in a lot of pain and having a lot of trouble, but they liked EMA just fine.

A while back I started writing blog posts on how to analyze #IntensiveLongitudinalData using #STAN.

The idea was sharing code for some of the most used models like (hierarchical) AR and VAR models as well as explaining the #STAN syntax a bit 😊.

I want to pick it up again, but for now, here is an example discussing the hierarchical AR(1) model. Curious what you all think 😊.
