🧠🏔️ 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.
#HealthScience is alive and well at #Geisinger!

How to Accelerate #CodeReviews with #Nudges: Insights from Microsoft’s Study
In the world of software development, pull requests (PRs) are essential for ensuring code quality and enabling collaboration across teams. However, they can also become major bottlenecks, slowing down release cycles, causing merge conflicts, and adding friction to the development process.
