- New preprint from my postdoc with @tobiasuhauser.bsky.social at the MPC! TL;DR: there is a strong recency bias in information gathering and it is attenuated in people on the #OCD spectrum - a possible mechanism for #indecisiveness 🤔 Paper here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Thread below...
- super cool work from Niloufar!! 🙌
- now out in Decision! 🎉 awspntest.apa.org/manuscript/2...

- (2/3) The position (100% FTE, 2-2.5 years) is part of a project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and led by Dr. Yoann Stussi. The expected start date is March 1, 2026 (or to be agreed upon). Application deadline: November 30, 2025. Questions? contact Yoann (yoann.stussi@unige.ch)
- Reposted by Haoxue FanNew preprint! "Non-commitment in mental imagery is distinct from perceptual inattention, and supports hierarchical scene construction" (by Li, Hammond, & me) link: doi.org/10.31234/osf... -- the title's a bit of a mouthful, but the nice thing is that it's a pretty decent summary
- Thanks Hayley & Thanks SNE ♥️♥️♥️
- Such a fun conference, much gratitude towards the organizers!! <3
- Another super cool piece of work from one of my fav planning researchers!
- 🚨New preprint! WHEN should we plan toward a goal? Most research focuses on how and where to plan, but the timing of planning initiation has been overlooked. We show humans leverage a cognitive map - called model-based meta-control - to learn when to deploy a plan. 🧵(1/15) osf.io/preprints/ps...

- Reposted by Haoxue Fan🌵Out now! Using an RL task that manipulates people's beliefs about agency, we show that exposure to & severity of early-life adversity is associated with lower learning rates & agency beliefs. w/ the brillant @thephelpslab.bsky.social, Kate McLaughlin, & Bryan Dong learnmem.cshlp.org/content/32/1...
