SUMMARY:2023 Anastasi Lecture: 'Trying to Make Ourselves Useful'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture with Baruch Fischhoff\, Ph.D.\, (Carnegie Mellon University) followed by a reception. \nPart of society’s return on the investment in our science is the help that we provide in making public policy decisions. The return depends\, in part\, on the state of our science and our ability to translate it into useful terms. It also depends on policymakers’ interest in what we have to say. After framing the general issues\, the talk will include the presenter’s experiences in two domains: climate change (beginning in the Carter administration) and pandemic disease (beginning with H5N1\, in the mid-2000s). The talk will conclude with reflections on what these engagements have done for society and for our science. \nAbout the Speaker\nBaruch Fischhoff is the Howard Heinz University Professor in the Department of Engineering and Public Policy and the Carnegie Mellon Institute for Security and Technology. He is a graduate of Wayne State University\, where he earned a B.S. in mathematics and psychology\, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, where he earned a Ph.D. in\, psychology. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine.

SUMMARY:2022 Anastasi Lecture: TIMSS\, PIRLS\, and Friends: Driving Innovation in International Educational Assessments
DESCRIPTION:International Large Scale Assessments (ILSAs) have been conducted since TIMSS 1995 started reporting trends in mathematics and science achievement of students around the world. In this presentation\, Matthias von Davier\, Ph.D.\, Monan Professor in Education at Boston College\, will describe current activities around TIMSS 2023\, setting the standard for fully digital assessments of student achievement with a focus on education\, not economics. The talk will introduce the assessments and discuss how they benefitted from a careful transition to computer-based assessment\, by implementing innovations that serve the needs of countries while reducing the burden of participation. \nvon Davier is the executive director at TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center. His research focuses on developing psychometric models for analyzing data from complex item and respondent samples and on integrating diagnostic procedures into these methods. \nA reception will follow the lecture. \nCan’t make it to the in-person lecture?

SUMMARY:2021 Anastasi Lecture: “(Predicting) Replication Outcomes”
DESCRIPTION:Professor Anna Dreber\, Stockholm School on Economics\, will deliver the 2021 Anastasi Lecture\, titled “(Predicting) Replication Outcomes.” \nhttps://fordham.zoom.us/j/88605480413?pwd=M3Y1R3I2TmNSZmViQnRqWTFsTDliQT09 \nWhich results can we “trust?” What share of results are replicated in different kinds of literature in the experimental social sciences? I will discuss several recent\, large replication projects\, mainly in psychology and economics\, in which my coauthors and I have redone experiments published in high-impact journals with new and larger samples to see whether the main result replicates. I will also discuss our studies on “wisdom-of-crowds” mechanisms\, such as prediction markets and forecasting surveys in which researchers attempt to predict these replication outcomes\, as well as new outcomes. While the replications are mainly on experiments\, there are reasons to believe that the problems are worse in nonexperimental work. I will also discuss ways to increase the reliability of scientific results.

SUMMARY:2019 Anastasi Lecture: 'The Bayesian Revolution\, And Why You Should Care"'
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: David Kaplan\, Ph.D. \nBayesian statistics has long been overlooked in the training of social and behavioral scientists. Bayesian statistics were considered controversial and\, until recently\, it was not feasible to conduct Bayesian statistical modeling because of its complexity and lack of software. \nRecently\, there has been great interest in the application of Bayesian methods\, due to the availability of powerful (and free) statistical software tools that now make it possible to estimate simple or complex models. This talk provides a conceptual introduction to Bayesian statistics with a focus on its advantages over conventional statistics\, particularly with respect to characterizing uncertainty and addressing the so-called “p-value problem.” \nDavid Kaplan\, Ph.D.\, is the Patricia Busk Professor of Quantitative Methods in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His research focuses on the development of Bayesian statistical methods for education research\, and is directed toward applications to large-scale cross-sectional and longitudinal survey designs. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Education\, a recipient of the Samuel J. Messick Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award from the APA Division 5\, a recipient of the Alexander Von Humboldt Research Prize\, and an honorary research fellow in the Department of Education at the University of Oxford.
