How do we regroup and resume goal directed behaviors when distractions pull us away from our plans? In a snake game inspired memory task, we found people flexibly replan after distraction, but this flexibility was constrained, worked for only one item in memory. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Working memory constraints on replanning following distraction - Communications Psychology

Using a Snake-inspired working memory task, this study shows that people dynamically reprioritize memorized goals after distraction, demonstrating how working memory supports flexible planning in dyna...

new preprint! 🐍 In a dynamic Snake game inspired task, we show participants flexibly replan their behaviors after distraction, but this ability is constrained by memory load and distraction strength. EEG results coming soon👀 osf.io/preprints/ps...

Excited to share our chapter "Breaking the Tug-of-War: What Neuroeconomics Can Gain by Moving Past Competition-Only Models" with Yi-Hsin Su, Romy Frömer, and @ashenhav.bsky.social, now out in the new volume, "Neuroeconomics: Core Topics and Current Directions"! doi.org/10.1007/978-3-032-02925-6_10

Breaking the Tug-of-War: What Neuroeconomics Can Gain by Moving Past Competition-Only Models

Popular models of decision-making characterize choice dynamics as a tug-of-war process, where evidence for competing options accumulates until a threshold is reached. While these models capture severa...

Final paper of my PhD 🤗 www.nature.com/articles/s44... There is growing interest in how cognitive control may improve value-based decision making. However, we find that a recent paper overestimated the role of control in their task, leading to erroneous interpretations of dACC recordings.

Misspecified models create the appearance of adaptive control during value-based choice - Communications Psychology

In a new computational analysis of previous work, this study shows that a control-free mechanism better accounts for value-based decisions than an account that assumes top-down control invigorating th...
