Our attention waxes and wanes over time. How does this influence the way our memories are organized? Pupil size at encoding, an index of attention, predicts the temporal structure of subsequent memory Super proud of Manasi Jayakumar (she/her) for this work! 👀 osf.io/preprints/psya…


Glad that this paper is out Scientific Reports where we combined Bayesian nonparametrics & vector representations of context to learn shared & context-specific information; and we used the model to account for human data on schema learning and event cognition! nature.com/articles/s4159…







Does encoding the present compete with predicting the future? In 3 behavioral studies, we find that encoding and prediction are coupled, not competitive! Proud of Craig Poskanzer & Hannah Tarder-Stoll for leading this work w/ Raheema Javid & Edoardo Spolaore! osf.io/preprints/psya…




Now out in Nature Communications (lead: Xinming Xu)! How do conversations shape how (and what) people guess about the unknown past and future (e.g., in other people's lives)? Paper/code/data: nature.com/articles/s4146…
