Don't miss @jlineuro.bsky.social poster today at #CCN2026! Come learn how people's behavior during planning can reveal their self-efficacy beliefs. Really excited about this work with Jing & @markkho.bsky.social 🎉
Jing Li@jlineuro.bsky.social · last mo.Do people plan based on their true ability or what they think they can do? We built a computational model of self-efficacy in planning and a novel task 🧗 that measures self-efficacy from behavior. With @angelaradulescu.bsky.social and @markkho.bsky.social.
