  • Teens, AI and the science of risky decisions, with Valerie Reyna, PhD

    Teens, AI and the science of risky decisions, with Valerie Reyna, PhD
    Sep 24 2025
    You might think the best way to make decisions is to know all the facts. But psychologists’ research suggests that getting the “gist” – the core meaning behind the facts – is more important than focusing on every last detail. Valerie Reyna, PhD, talks about why gist matters; how it explains why teens make so many risky decisions; how understanding gist can help doctors communicate better with their patients; and why AI systems may be moving toward more gist-based reasoning.

And a world filled with tons of bad advice tik toks and fluff articles. this podcast is a shining beacon of actual knowledge. I've been an avid fan of psychology for 17 years and I wish something this good existed when I was a teenager.

The host does a great job of asking the questions you would want answers to. And they have such a wonderfully wide variety of guests that I've learned about things I didn't even know to ask questions about. If you are a fan of psychology, actual data, or just want to know more about why you do what you do, and how to proceed in the world and know everyone better. Then this is a must listen podcast!

I absolutely love this podcast and listen every week. They present the latest research on so many topics, from how to build successful teams to getting along with your siblings to leading a meaningful life and a million other topics explaining why we do the things we do. The best part is that every episode is based on actual science instead of most other podcasts that are just two people giving their personal opinions. Worth a listen! There’s definitely an episode about something you’ve wondered about in your life…

LOVE THIS PODCAST!!!!
