Now out in JoCN, a model-based fMRI study into adaptive cognitive flexibility, lead by the excellent Anthony Sali

New paper out! Awesome grad student Ricardo Morales-Torres shows that task sets incorporate information about how much attention a task requires. Beyond stimulus–response rules: Task sets incorporate information about performance difficulty. psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-56…

New paper alert! We probed the generalizabilty of one-shot stimulus-control learning. Upshot: one-shot associations between objects and control states generalize over different object viewpoints and exemplars, but not to other object category members. link.springer.com/article/10.375…

Super excited to share that our paper has just been accepted by the Journal of Neuroscience! 🍻 If you're curious about how contextual changes affects memory reactivations, be sure to check out our preprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Cognitive and Psychological Sciences at Brown is searching for two hires at the Assistant or Associate level! Research area is Open but should address one of three themes: AI and the Mind, Collective Cognition, or Mental & Brain Health See🧵. To apply: apply.interfolio.com/151973

A fun project with Eren Günseli and his gang, now out in J Neuro: Effects of Context Changes on Memory Reactivation jneurosci.org/content/44/36/…

Interested in cognitive stability and flexibility? Alright then: Raphael Geddert and I investigate contextual factors determining whether stability and flexibility tradeoff. Free read link: rdcu.be/dTvTI link.springer.com/article/10.375…

For fans of *Cognitive Controversies* -> my comments on others’ comments on my opinion! TLDR: I propose to unyoke the constructs of cognitive stability and flexibility; others disagree; we argue politely... Free read links: rdcu.be/dTxqb rdcu.be/dTxql

I've been recommending this review by Tobias Egner to many: nature.com/articles/s4415…. It's a great overview on task control research, summarizing several interesting insights! However, w/ Gesine Dreisbach and Sebastian Musslick, we disagreed with one conclusion: nature.com/articles/s4415… (1/7)

The Boston University department of Psychological and Brain Sciences has openings for two assistant professor positions in human cognitive neuroscience this year! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28478

Foiled again, FFS…

Our new work on the inhibitory control of LANGUAGE is now available at JEP:General. This is a wonderful collab between Kristi Hendrickson (also my wife) and my labs, first-authored by a former undergrad who joined us after our #FirstGen workshop. 🧵 below psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-37…

NYT tweeted this to its 55 million followers and it has under 500 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “John Kelly, Donald Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, said Trump met the definition of a fascist and would try to govern like a dictator if elected”

This work is now out! Check out our paper on generalizable brain network model of surprise. Grateful for Monica Rosenberg for being the most supportive mentor!

Up in the gods at Cameron tonight - sweet! Go Duke…

We are currently seeking nominations for a new Editor-in-Chief at Psychonomic Society journal, AP&P, whether it be you or a colleague you'd like to nominate! For details, see our announcement at psychonomic.org/page/2025apped…

Since the hotel bar is closed, you may as well check out some posters! #CNS2025: find our excellent grad student Jim Zhang at poster A91, "Neural correlates of concurrent demands on cognitive stability and flexibility".

New paper, fronted by Raphael Geddert and Seth Madlon-Kay, in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review: "Modeling of control over task switching and cross-task interference supports a two-dimensional model of cognitive stability and flexibility". Free read link: rdcu.be/epatc
