🌵🏜️🌵 Out now in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social with @rbhui.bsky.social! If your advisor sends you an unclear email, do you interpret it as good or bad? 😏😱 In a new paper, we show how people make inferences about this type of ambiguous feedback during learning. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Ambiguity and confirmatory reward learning

We tend to interpret feedback in ways that confirm our pre-existing beliefs. Such confirmatory tendencies are often viewed as cognitive flaws, but mig…

Some nice coverage here of our study published in @biologicalpsych.bsky.social CNNI on structure learning and uncertainty in compulsivity 📃 Paper available here - www.biologicalpsychiatrycnni.org/article/S245...

Impaired Goal-Directed Planning in Transdiagnostic Compulsivity Is Explained by Uncertainty About Learned Task Structure

Diminished use of goal-directed (model-based) decision making is a hallmark of transdiagnostic compulsivity, promoting an overreliance on inflexible and habitual behaviors. However, the origin of this...
