What We Do

Psychologists theorize, model, and measure in disconnected ways.

We work to align them.

  1. 01

    Unite disciplines

    Bringing together cognitive modelers, psychometricians, experimentalists, and philosophers.

  2. 02

    Foster dialogue

    Creating spaces where theoretical, modeling, and methodological assumptions can be questioned.

  3. 03

    Organize events

    Hosting workshops and conferences where conversations translate into concrete progress.

  4. 04

    Build collaborations

    Providing a platform where joint research projects can emerge from shared understanding.

Our Focus

Three questions we return to, again and again.

01 Theme

Theory–Measurement Gap

What we measure often isn't what we theorize. We expose the hidden assumptions.

02 Theme

Prediction–Explanation Gap

Good predictions can come from bad theories. We investigate what it really takes for a model to explain.

03 Theme

Cumulative Science

Evidence for theories and evidence for measures get tangled. We work to untangle them—so both can genuinely accumulate.
