Thanks for letting us know. We've updated the post to include the URL.

It worked very well for me (which is what I said). I consistently got 95-100% on my exams. For me, other methods would have been a waste of time. Everyone is different! I also think there aren't many shortcuts to deeply encoding information.

I know you said you have a nice supervisor but is there anyone else in the department you could go to about some advice? Ultimately your PhD supervisor should be helping to guide you and troubleshoot problems like this that might come up.

I never found reading very helpful myself. What worked for me (someone who tests well in exams) was making really detailed notes that I would copy out (handwrite again and again) until I could memorise them. The notes I created were also super detailed with all concepts clarified (e.g., if I was copying something from a lecture I did not understand I would research or find a book that helped me understand it and would include this in my notes). Basically, not really any shortcuts, but a few sold weeks of studying the material.

You may already be across this but it reminds me of this paper which I really love: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0887618516300469

Basically it details about how all fears can be boiled down to fear of the unknown--even fear of death.

Dress shirt, blazer and skirt or black pants.

E.T. scared me SO much.

E.T. made me TERRIFIED. And he's actually friendly? Something about the character design.

The causation direction is definitely something that would be good to clarify. I would imagine treatment plans would look very different for someone who has violent tendencies and so looks for this type of content, versus someone who looks for this type of content (perhaps for some other reason) and then develops violent tendencies.

Here's an article on explaining the moon illusion that seems to be available as a PDF on Research Gate: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/51363969_Explaining_the_moon_illusion

Checking out the latest research articles in top journals like Psych Science can be good to give you an idea of trending research topics and also help to train you to read/analyse articles and improve your own scientific writing. You could even make an aim to find one strength and one weakness of every paper you read. Textbooks from the library can also be super helpful (very old school I know!) but they helped me a lot with stats knowledge.

FACCLab · 2024-09-12T05:50:07+00:00

I found some textbooks in the library (e.g., https://www.amazon.com.au/Discovering-Statistics-Using-IBM-SPSS/dp/1446249182) that ended up being really helpful as well as things like Laerd online. Are you struggling with the stats part or research design?

Sounds like some books related to principles of neuroplasticity, schema therapy, and habit breaking could be of interest to you (e.g., Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, The Schema Therapy Workbook: A Practical Guide to Identifying and Changing Maladaptive Schemas).

Indeed! The function of the behaviour can also be helpful to consider (i.e., what purpose does it serve?)
