Beautiful business research people: The Leibniz Information Centre for Economics has created an accessible introduction to Open Science that you can download in both English and German here: expedition-open-science.org

You can even order the German print version for free!
Open-Science-Land
In the Planning section, clearly structured landscapes dominate the picture: vast research plains where hypotheses are formed, well-mapped paths of methodology and transparent data sources that need to be carefully developed.

Much has been written but an excellent starting point is given by Shallice and Cooper (2011).
This is not entirely exhaustive and further formalization would be beneficial to tighten the definitions.

We’re on to Chapter 3, where I focus on the intellectual links between James, Holt, and Gibson surrounding animal-environment mutuality and the importance of phenomological analysis!

My Christmas miracle is that I *think* I’m starting to understand how memory might viably work without the need for encoding and retrieving representations 🙃

Really cool read!

I wonder how much of the intractability challenge (at least on a cognitive level) might be solved by adopting Gibson’s ecological approach 🤔
December 24, 2025 at 11:57 PM
Chapter 2 explores the work of Edwin B. Holt, the historical and intellectual link between William James's radical empiricism and James J. Gibson's ecological psychology. Plus, a pretty neat searchlight analogy of perception!

This week, we begin with the prologue + first section of chapter 1 where Heft introduces psychology’s Cartesian roots. This will set the stage for James’s radical empiricism later on in the chapter!

For many, it's not difficult to move an empty teacup across the kitchen counter. But fill it up with coffee, and suddenly it becomes a whole different task.

So, how do we perceptually control the transfer of liquid-filled containers? Read on for a study by Xu et al. (2023) exploring this question!
