Our new paper "Noisy memory generates value in changing environments" just got published in Adaptive Behavior! doi.org/10.1177/1059... tldr: we find that stochastic encoding of outcomes can perform better than perfect encoding (woot?), esp. if you have asymmetric encoding (for reward vs no reward)

we think this is a proposal for an alternative mechanism for phenomena that have been explained through e.g. asymmetric learning rates, and fits well with the (RL and working memory) literature, curious for feedback! work with @becketebs.bsky.social

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!) democrats-science.house.gov/sciencefirings

I am recruiting a 2 year postdoc! See elc-lab-ucsd.com/prospective-.... This is an NSF-funded collaboration between UCSD, Harvard, and Rutgers-Newark (co-PIs: @ebonawitz.bsky.social, @patrickshafto.bsky.social, Igor Bascandziev) examining cognitive mechanisms underlying children’s conceptual change.
