📣I'm hiring a lab coordinator for my new lab at UCSD CogSci. This is a great position if you're interested in gaining research experience before applying to graduate school. Apply by May 2, flexible start late summer start date (~Sep 1). Details below! employment.ucsd.edu/laboratory-coo…

🚨Job Alert 🚨 The Mind in Development Lab at Smith College (P.I. Me!) is hiring a new lab manager! Our lab focuses on how early life experience shapes neural and cognitive function in young children. Apply by May 6th. More info here: tinyurl.com/4ytv4drm. Please retweet!

If you're at APS Association for Psychological Science tomorrow (Fri.), you may be interested in our 10:30 symposium: 'Dynamic interactions between learning and memory across the lifespan.' 🧠👦🧓🔄 with Alexandra (Lexi) Decker Nina Rouhani Sharon Noh development, aging, modeling, real-world behavior & more!

New preprint! How should we think about cognitive representations of goals? We argue that thinking about goals as a type of symbolic cognitive program makes a lot sense -- and perform behavioral and computational work to support this idea: 1/n exps.gureckislab.org/guydav/goal_pr…

New preprint! Super excited to share this work with marjorie and todd gureckis. We ask: how do people efficiently generate questions to resolve uncertainty, especially when the space of possible questions is large? Thread below, preprint here: osf.io/preprints/psya…

Our paper (co-led with perri, phd) on developmental changes in the valuation of agentic choice is now out in Association for Psychological Science! journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117… Lots more details in the preprint thread + the published version now includes a full replication sample ✅

Thrilled to share this paper on my work in David_Clewett's lab! We provide evidence of a way to weaken negative memories without directly retrieving them: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jWyG_Ebvv8X2 Thanks to my amazing mentor Dave & collaborators Amna, Camille, Ringo Huang, & kierkekardashian!

Interested in applying computational approaches to understand developmental changes in learning? I’ll be at #CCN2024 this week and would love to talk to anyone who may be interested in joining my new BU lab next summer as a PhD student or lab manager. Please reach out!

Excited to share a new project! 🎉🎉 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… How do we navigate between brain states when we switch tasks? Are dynamics driven by control, or passive decay of the prev task? To answer, we compare high-dim linear dynamical systems fit to EEG and RNNs🌀 ⏬

🚨New work on the influence of early-life adversity on agency & reinforcement learning! w/ Phelps Lab, Kate McLaughlin, & Bryan Dong (1/2)

Preprint for "Consolidation of Sequential Planning" with Evan Russek and Neil Burgess. We demonstrate the neural representations supporting sequential planning and the effect of memory consolidation upon them: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…. As talk, see also: youtube.com/watch?v=0QcNtz…
