  1. Placing full control with the learner is problematic; what learners prefer isn't always what's best for them. Excessive choice can be frustrating, and learners may stick to tasks they already like or are proficient in. #EducationalPsychology

  2. The educator panic over AI is real, and rational.
    I've been there myself. The difference is I moved past denial to a more pragmatic question: since AI regulation seems unlikely (with both camps refusing to engage), how do we actually work with these systems?

    The "AI will kill critical thinking" crowd has a point, but they're missing context.
    Critical reasoning wasn't exactly thriving before AI arrived: just look around. The real question isn't whether AI threatens thinking skills, but whether we can leverage it the same way we leverage other cognitive tools.

    We don't hunt our own food or walk everywhere anymore.
    We use supermarkets and cars. Most of us Google instead of visiting libraries. Each tool trade-off changed how we think and what skills matter. AI is the next step in this progression, if we're smart about it.

    The key is learning to think with AI rather than being replaced by it.
    That means understanding both its capabilities and our irreplaceable human advantages.

  5. AI isn't going anywhere. Time to get strategic:
    Instead of mourning lost critical thinking skills, let's build on them through cognitive delegation—using AI as a thinking partner, not a replacement.

    This isn't some Silicon Valley fantasy:
    Three decades of cognitive research already mapped out how this works:

    Cognitive Load Theory:
    Our brains can only juggle so much at once. Let AI handle the grunt work while you focus on making meaningful connections.

    Distributed Cognition:
    Naval crews don't navigate with individual genius—they spread thinking across people, instruments, and procedures. AI becomes another crew member in your cognitive system.

    Zone of Proximal Development
    We learn best with expert guidance bridging what we can't quite do alone. AI can serve as that "more knowledgeable other" (though it's still early days).
    The table below shows what this looks like in practice:

  8. Critical reasoning vs Cognitive Delegation

    Old School Focus:

    Building internal cognitive capabilities and managing cognitive load independently.

    Cognitive Delegation Focus:

    Orchestrating distributed cognitive systems while maintaining quality control over AI-augmented processes.

    We can still go for a jog or go hunt our own deer, but for reaching the stars we, the Apes do what Apes do best: Use tools to build on our cognitive abilities. AI is a tool.

  15. Most professors teach, but only some research teaching. For the former, does their practical knowledge of teaching help them evaluate education research? Find out in this article by Vic Deekens, Brian Cartiff, and yours truly. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10

  18. There’s been a lot of hubbub lately about the role of knowledge in reading instruction. What exactly do people mean when they say “knowledge matters” - what kinds of knowledge are we talking about? Drs. McCarthy and McNamara have a great way to think about knowledge and text comprehension. Check it out: soundcloud.com/user-883650452/

  20. @gavintlbrown @pgmj #HealthSciences research in this area has obviously taken a lot inspiration from psychology and especially #EducationalPsychology developing these systems.

    I can see there are a number of development reports regarding this system published here:
    e-asttle.tki.org.nz/Reports-an

    Is there anything more recent? Evaluations of parameter drift, invariance analyses, or other quality assurance measures?

  21. Carlton Fong and Diane Schallert have wise words and deep insights on the roles of motivation and emotion in how people receive and use feedback. Learn more (and check out some great Back to the Future clips!) in my latest (still free) Substack!

  22. What does a psychological science of effective #feedback look like and what are the (many) questions in need of more #research? Drs. Winstone and Nash share tons of answers and insights in this APA Division 15 #podcast! And they discuss the other fantastic articles in the #EducationalPsychologist special issue on "Psychological Perspectives on the Effects and Effectiveness of Assessment Feedback." open.spotify.com/episode/0teOL

  24. Here, Paul Krugman argues that Elon Musk and his ilk lack #epistemic meta-competence (i.e., knowing when you don't know enough to make a good decision yourself, without seeking out help). #EpistemicCognition in the news!
