Robert Noggle has revised his SEP-entry on The Ethics of Manipulation,

What a savoury topic, even without explicit references to sycophantic AI!

🧠🏔️ I’m sharing presentations from the Society for Judgment and Decision Making conference in #Denver at the URL below:

My poster is about #argumentMapping and #learningScience. You will also find presentations about how to advance #cogSci with #AI tools, do #ProcessTracing in #Qualtrics without #coding, and avoid backfiring in #healthcare #nudges.
Follow to fight FOMO and enjoy #openAccess conferencing.
Some #medical #nudges that didn't work:
Most (of a dozen) clinician-facing #ElectronicHealthRecord deprescribing tools didn't work? https://doi.org/10.1111/jgs.19609
Showing clinicians cheaper versions of a drug didn't reduce prescription costs? https://doi.org/10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2025.19038
This week I share a text message and infographic that improved decisions about #existentialRisk: https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/d2pc4
#AntibioticResistance kills many.
Misusing #antibiotics makes matters worse.

How can #BehSci combat #antimicrobialResistance?
Many patients expect needless #antibiotics (https://doi.org/10.3201/eid2012.140331), which #nudges clinicians to prescribe 'em (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28206788).
So we validated nudges to improve patient expectations (N ≅ 1k): https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/d2pc4_v1
“How I hacked my clock to control my focus”
def not a panacea, but worth adding to your #focus / #productivity #nudges
⚠️ requires #Linux 😜
https://www.paepper.com/blog/posts/how-i-hacked-my-clock-to-control-my-focus.md/
I often get distracted. I obviously don’t like it. So I decided to turn my computer’s clock into a constant reminder to help me focus. Implementation This hack requires: Ubuntu with GNOME desktop environment The Panel Date Format extension A simple bash script 1. Install the Panel Date Format extension # If you don't have the GNOME Shell extensions manager sudo apt install gnome-shell-extensions Install Panel Date Format from the GNOME Extensions website.
