Out now in NHB (finally!), a review of visual working memory from a computational perspective, with Wei Ji Ma Tim Brady and Sebastian Schneegans. nature.com/articles/s4156…

New paper out from the lab! "Sensitivity to the Instrumental Value of Choice Increases Across Development" in Psych Science. Kate Nussenbaum perri, phd Hanxiao Lu @szorowi1 Catherine Hartley journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Belated repost. It has been a great pleasure working with Paul, Tim, and Sebastian on this. Consider it an update to the 2014 paper "Changing concepts of working memory". Some of the changing concepts have now settled.

Lab's first paper on procrastination, by Pei Yuan Zhang. Sixteen years after I told Read Montague in my job interview that I wanted to study the topic (and he didn't laugh at me). nature.com/articles/s4159…

Why do couples look alike? 👩‍❤️‍👨 Back in 1987, researchers (Bob Zajonc, Paula Niedenthal et al) suggested that couples who live together grow to look alike over time. But, as the literature evolved, other researchers have cast doubt on the "facial convergence" hypothesis: THREAD🧵

It's good to be back! Here are some sketches from #CogSci2024:

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!

Very excited to share a new preprint where we disentangle the component processes of planning affected after damage to mPFC. With Sanjay Manohar basvanopheusden Wei Ji Ma Jan Ili Ma Patricia Lockwood John P Grogan (1/6) osf.io/preprints/psya…

My former PhD student @Peiyuan9 was profiled in The Transmitter for her documentary "The opposite of dying" (internationally recognized at Sheffield DocFest), which she made while doing a PhD on the cognitive mechanisms of procrastination. thetransmitter.org/craft-and-care…

Congratulations to Pei Yuan Zhang for the 2024 Best Dissertation Award from Neuroeconomics !! The first paper from her thesis is out (nature.com/articles/s4159…) but stay tuned for more.
