In our new @CommsPsychol review, we explore how humans adjust learning to different types of uncertainty, why biases arise, and what this reveals about learning and psychiatric conditions. 📖 Read more: nature.com/articles/s44271-0… With @NassarLab & @haukeren

Understanding learning through uncertainty and bias

Communications Psychology - Flexible learning requires humans to adjust their behaviour to uncertainty. While normative learning models explain many adaptive behaviours, systematic biases-arising...

Are we in a recession? Will there be another COVID surge in the fall? Will inflation keep getting worse? If you've heard pundits on the news, people you know (or yourself!) being wrong about these questions, read my post here about why that happens: medium.com/@lindaqhyu/the-an…

Why predictions fail

Are we in a recession? Will there be another COVID surge in the fall? Will inflation keep getting worse or get better?

In our new paper, we figure out how people predict (and outsmart) others' future choices: by learning their stable underlying motives and attending to strategic information in new settings. nature.com/articles/s41562-0… with @NassarLab, Wenning Deng, & @orielf -- full text below

New paper in @TrendsCognSci! Matt Nassar and I argue that the complex reward structure & uncertainties of the social world pose a challenge for modeling. To capture real social learning processes, computational models should embrace these complexities 1/ sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

(1/4) Ever wanted to run inference using a cognitive process model, but couldn't because its likelihood function was intractable? New work with @UniFersAlex, @lakshming92 and Tony Chen in @eLife demonstrates an efficient scheme for achieving this. elifesciences.org/articles/6…
