Psychology Clinical Lunch and Learn Seminar with Tam’ra-Kay Francis

Dr. Tam’ra-Kay Francis, STEM Education and Mentoring Scholar; Project Lead, Mentoring Enrichment and Leadership Development Institute (MELDI) and Strategies and Tools for Equity Minded Mentoring in STEM (STEMM(S)), will likely be leading us in a discussion on inclusive, holistic, and person-centered advising and mentoring, based on her translational research on how revamped advising relationships can reduce inequities in STEM education and foster student (and advisor/mentor) well-being. We hope this meeting offers an open and comprehensive platform for us all to evaluate how we approach, value, structure, experience, and navigate traditionally hierarchical (and increasingly diverse) academic relationships. We hope students, faculty advisors and mentors and anyone who mentors others will attend for the first in an anticipated series of Lunch and Learn meetings on advising and mentoring. This event is for UW Psychology clinical students and faculty. Faculty hosts: Deb Jacques, jacquesd@uw.edu, and Wendy Stone,… Event interval: Campus location: Kincaid Hall (KIN).

Psychology Edwards Colloquium with Edmund Lalor, Ph.D., University of Rochester

This is a hybrid event - in person and livestreamed on Zoom. Modeling Speech-To-Language Transformations in the Human Brain, Edmund Lalor, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Department of Neuroscience and Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Rochester To transform speech into words, the human brain must accommodate variability across utterances in intonation, speech rate, volume, accents and so on. A promising approach to explaining this process has been to model electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings of brain responses to speech. In this talk, I will describe our use of this approach over the past decade to understand how the human brain transforms speech to language and how this transformation is affected by attention and visual input. This lecture made possible in part by a generous endowment from Professor Allen L. Edwards. Faculty host: Joe Sisneros, sisneros@uw.edu Q&A and light refreshments to follow the lecture.

Psychology Edwards Workshop on Bayesian Inference with Henk Kiers, Ph.D., University of Groningen, and Jorge Tendeiro, Hiroshima University

This is an in-person workshop event with a break for lunch from 12:15-1:15PM. RSVP here: https://forms.office.com/r/CQL3wUHtj6 An introduction to Bayesian inference for hypothesis testing and effect size estimation, Henk Kiers, Ph.D. Professor in Statistics and data analysis, University of Groningen, The Netherlands Jorge Tendeiro, Professor in Bayesian statistics and inference, Hiroshima University, Japan Bayesian inference has been receiving widespread attention in recent years in psychology. The main reason behind this may be a growing dissatisfaction with classical null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) and the p-value. Null hypothesis Bayesian testing (NHBT) and its Bayes factor (the "Bayesian p-value") are now often referred to as worthy replacements for NHST and the p-value. In this workshop we offer a gentle introduction to the Bayes factor. Furthermore, we will emphasize that, just as NHST needs to be accompanied by effect size estimates, so does NHBT. And it so happens that the latter… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Kincaid Hall (KIN). Campus room: KIN 202. Accessibility Contact: psylectures@uw.edu.

Psychology Edwards Colloquium with Henk Kiers, Ph.D., University of Groningen, and Jorge Tendeiro, Hiroshima University

This is a hybrid event. Bayesian alternatives to null hypothesis significance testing, Henk Kiers, Ph.D. Professor in Statistics and data analysis, University of Groningen, The Netherlands Jorge Tendeiro, Professor in Bayesian statistics and inference, Hiroshima University, Japan Null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) and its p-value are ubiquitous in scientific practice. However, misuse and misinterpretation of these crucial tools is well documented. Various suggestions to fix, or replace, NHST have been offered. In this talk we will discuss some options that fall under the Bayesian inferential framework. We will introduce null hypothesis Bayesian testing (NHBT) and its Bayes factor as the direct Bayesian analogues to NHST and the p-value, respectively. Important differences between the two approaches will be highlighted. Furthermore, we will emphasize that, just as NHST needs to be accompanied by effect size estimates, so does NHBT. We will recall a simple relation between Bayesian estimation of… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Kincaid Hall (KIN). Online Meeting Link: https://washington.zoom.us/j/92757814189.
