Here's a question in probability that seems simple, however I can't figure out how to answer properly. Help, please....

A and B are simple events.
P(AUB)=1,
0<P(A∩B)< P(A),
and 0<P(A∩B)< P(B).

True/False: P(A)>P(A|B)

And ideas?

New paper alert! In a new study led by Shalva Kvitelashvili we developed a novel task to investigate how people voluntarily use their visual working memory. Spoiler: we tend to underutilize our memory capacity. Check it out! rdcu.be/dDKmq

In these terrible times, I urge professional societies in psychology to speak up clearly for Israel and to condemn the atrocities committed by Hamas. Your voices matter. Silence is not an option.

I, like many of us right now, am at a lost for words.

Michael Peer managed to explain the current situation eloquently in the post below. Please share.

New paper!   People often do not remember information they just searched for (link.springer.com/article/10.3...).
 
Subjects were asked to draw the contents of their memory immediately after searching for a target in a natural scene  Thread!
Alt: An image showing two visual scenes, both indoor rooms, and also two sketches that people drew of those scenes.

Excited to share this short & sweet article I wrote with
@samhforbes.bsky.social!

Teaching coding inclusively: if this, then what? doi.org/10.31235/osf...

The title perhaps says it all; we show through arguments and examples what women experience in programming class and what to do to remedy it.
