Inflated effects in empirical research are ubiquitous but become smaller over time: Meta-meta-analytical evidence for the decline effect
Principles of a-priori hypothesizing, care- and thoughtful study design, and effect corroboration by direct replication are standards that ensure the meaningfulness of obtained results in empirical research and that are embraced by virtually all empirical researchers. Recently, however, the trust in empirical research in general and Psychological Science in particular has been undermined by unreliable effect estimates, biased results, and lacking reproducibility. Strategic researcher behaviors and publication process-related mechanisms that promote the publication of striking (but wrong) or inflated results were frequently cited as potential drivers for effect invalidity and misrepresentations. Although effect declines have been documented in a number of specific cases in the literature, no systematic account of effect changes over time is to date available. Consequently, in this presentation, I provide evidence for cross-temporal effect changes (regardless of the respective research question) based on more than 400 meta-analyses (N = 270,000,000+; k = 28,000+) that have been published in five flagship journals in Psychology. On the whole, analyses of effect trajectories indicate average effect changes of about a small effect size (i.e., r = .10) for every 15 years that elapsed following their initial publication (i.e., the first account that has been published for a given research question). Importantly, the aggregated evidence shows that effect declines outnumber increases at a ratio of about 3:2 and are on average twice as strong. Moreover, larger exploratory and summary effects appear to be associated with more substantial effect declines. Remedies for such systematic ubiquitous effect misrepresentations warrant changes in scientific quality control (i.e., the review process) and the evaluation of academics (e.g., in terms of tenure or promotion committees). Promoting study preregistration, the publication of primary data, discovery- and replication-sampling approaches, as well as the use of safeguard power in replications may be first steps in the right direction.
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by:

Title: How Young Children Learn About and From Others
Date: Wednesday, 25 September 2019
Time: 17:00-18:30
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101
Abstract:
Infants come into this world equipped with advanced learning mechanisms. Moreover, from early on they show an elaborate pattern of allocating attention to stimuli in a way that allows them to learn optimally from their environment. I will present a series of behavioral and neurophysiological experiments demonstrating how these mechanisms support infants’ social learning. In addition, I will discuss recent research from my lab on adults’ infant-directed behaviors that shows how adults skillfully adapt their teaching behaviors to the attentional preferences and learning capabilities of their infant interaction partners to optimize learning. Together, my research demonstrates how the intricate interaction of infants’ basic learning mechanisms and a well-matched social environment brings about the astonishing developmental changes of early childhood.
We are looking forward to see you.

Dear All,
The Faculty of Cognitive Psychology, ELTE is pleased to invite you all for
the upcoming lecture of Cognitive Seminar (
https://sites.google.com/site/eltekognitiv/home/elte-kognitiv-szeminariu
<https://sites.google.com/site/eltekognitiv/home/elte-kognitiv-szeminarium>)
Sabine Hunnius (Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour,
Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands, webpage
<https://www.ru.nl/english/people/hunnius-s/> ) entitled:
*How infants learn about themselves and others *
date: 24th September 2019, 12:30
place: room 403, Institute of Psychology, ELTE, 46 Izabella street,
Budapest, 1064
Abstract:
>From early on, infants explore the world around them with great interest:
They watch their own hands as they move through their visual field, pay
close attention to the people around them, and take pleasure in interacting
with adults in a playful manner. But how do infants first learn about their
own bodies and actions? And how do they develop the ability to understand
actions they observe in others? In this talk, I will present a series of
behavioral and neuroscientific experiments that examine how infants build
models that allow them to generate predictions about own and others’
actions. In particular, I will discuss how active action experience and
observational experience provide infants with the necessary information to
learn about themselves and others and gradually develop complex
social-cognitive capabilities.
If you know anyone who might be interested in Ms. Hunnius's talk, feel free
to spread the word!

Global Brain Health Survey (See Information in English and leaflet in Hungarian attached)
A Lifebrain Horizon 2020 konzorcium 2019. nyarán indította útjára a "Global Brain Health Survey" felmérést, a Norvég, a Német, valamint a Belga Brain Council-lel együttműködve. A felmérés célja, hogy feltérképezze az agyról és az agy egészségéről alkotott véleményeket, illetve az agy iránti érdeklődést. A kérdőív az alábbi címen magyarul is elérhető: https://www.lifebrain.uio.no<https://www.lifebrain.uio.no/>
A felmérést már több, mint 2500-an kitöltötték Európa 8 országában, és szeretnénk, ha Magyarországon is minél többen részt vennének benne. A kérdőív magyarországi terjesztéséhez keresünk most segítséget.
A kérdőív célközönsége széles: agykutatásban résztvevő önkéntesektől kezdve, az agyuk egészsége iránt aggódókon vagy kevésbé aggódókon át, mindenkihez szól. A kérdőív terjesztéséhez egy magyar nyelvű szórólapot is készítettünk (csatoltan).
A kérdőív kitöltése kb. 15 percet vesz igénybe. Bárki, aki elmúlt 18 éves, kitöltheti online. A kérdőív 2020 augusztusig lesz elérhető. A kérdőív eredményei alapján szakpolitikai ajánlásokat szeretnénk megfogalmazni az agy egészségének megóvására.
A kérdőívről további információ itt: https://www.lifebrain.uio.no/Global%20Brain%20Health%20Survey/Kérdőív%20az%…<https://www.lifebrain.uio.no/Global%20Brain%20Health%20Survey/K%C3%A9rd%C5%…>, valamint angolul a csatolt tájékoztatóban.
A felmérést egy nyilvános előadással nyitottuk meg Oslo-ban 2019. június 4-én, amelyről bővebben itt olvashattok: https://www.lifebrain.uio.no/news/publiclecture.html.
Amennyiben további információt szeretnétek a felmérésről, vagy akár szívesen közreműködnétek az adatok elemzésében, készséggel állunk rendelkezésetekre.
Kérlek, terjesszétek kollégáitok és diákjaitok között!
Ezúton is köszönjük.

Title: Innate Building Blocks of Political Psychology
Date: Wednesday, 18 September 2019
Time: 17:00-18:30
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101
Abstract:
Perhaps the strongest argument that there has been selection for social-coordination mechanisms in humans is empirical evidence for psychological systems that represent and motivate such social navigation already in preverbal infancy. I will argue (and present evidence) that the basic logic of the infant representations and motives for formidability-based dominance and equality elucidate, and are reflected, in the political psychology of adults, from cross-national to genetic levels. I will also present ongoing work suggesting that preverbal infants (and preschoolers) are endowed with mental representations and motives for direct reciprocity and gratitude, consistent with an evolved system of reciprocal altruism. Finally, I will present pilot work that preverbal infants also represent evolved, non-formidability-based principles for resolving resource conflict, such as ownership/prior possession.
We are looking forward to see you.

*Neural correlates of retest learning in aging and dementia*
(see abstract below)
Date & time: *16.09.2019, Monday, 13:00-14:00*
Location: D4.09C, MTA-TTK, Magyar Tudósok krt. 2, 1117, Budapest

Abstract
Retest learning and practice effects – improvements in performance following multiple presentations of cognitive and behavioral tasks – are primarily of interest to cognitive aging researchers because they can obscure true longitudinal decline. Importantly, these improvements following prior exposure to test content and/or format are not consistently influenced by age, education, and other relevant demographic factors. In addition, evidence from neuroimaging research has revealed links between practice effects and brain structure, including hippocampal volume and white matter microstructure. Furthermore, research on age-related neurodegeneration demonstrates attenuated practice and retest learning effects among older adults with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease pathology. I will show that by treating retest learning as a signal of interest, rather than unwanted noise, retest learning is a valuable marker of neurocognitive status. My work has related retest learning over years and practice effects over minutes to common brain structures implicated in age-related declines in learning and memory. Using evidence from multiple aging studies, including my own findings from data collected at Wayne State, in BASE-II, and in ADNI, I will discuss how retest learning can serve as a marker of the integrity in neural mechanisms affected by age-related neurodegenerative disease and new opportunities and methods for measuring practice and retest learning effects.
