Research noteEvidence and Explanation
Controlled experiments can reveal genuine causal relations without, by themselves, establishing how strongly, frequently or consequentially those relations operate under the conditions of…
Read What Counts as Evidence of Change? first (+1 more).
Research noteEvidence and ExplanationFoundational
Scientific confidence should not rest on one study alone. It grows when findings recur, conclusions survive reasonable alternatives and different evidential approaches support compatible…

Research noteEmbodiment and RegulationFoundational
Homeostasis and allostasis are often presented as opposing models of biological regulation: one reactive and fixed, the other predictive and flexible. The scientific literature supports a…
Read Homeostasis first (+1 more).
Research noteLearning and Memory
A research evidence audit of memory reconsolidation: what the findings support, and where stronger claims about destabilisation, erasure and clinical translation exceed them.
Read Reconsolidation first (+1 more).
Research notePerception, Attention and BeliefFoundational
Predictive processing is best evaluated not as one theory to accept or reject, but as a family of claims whose evidential strength varies across computational, behavioural and neural levels.
Read Predictive Processing first (+1 more).
Research noteEmotion, Value and MotivationFoundational
Emotion science knows more than its theoretical disagreements can make it seem. This essay separates relatively secure empirical findings from contested interpretations and shows how to…

Research noteAction and ControlFoundational
Ego depletion proposed that self-control draws on a limited resource. This Research Note examines the evidence, replication controversy and why resource metaphors should not be mistaken for…
Read Self-Control Models first (+1 more).
Research noteSelf, Identity and Narrative
Learned helplessness became one of psychology's most influential explanations for what happens when action appears unable to change outcomes. Its history is important—but so are its…
Read Learned Helplessness and Perceived Control first.
Research noteRelationships, Culture and Power
Research on scarcity suggests that pressing unmet demands can capture attention, increase cognitive demands and alter short-term prioritisation. Yet findings vary across scarcity domains,…
Read Stress Is a Coordinated Response first (+2 more).
Research noteDynamic Systems and Integrated Change
Psychology increasingly uses attractors and landscapes to describe recurring states, behavioural stability and nonlinear change. This Research Note examines when that language carries…
