New paper with @catehartley.bsky.social How does the reward structure of the environment influence the specificity with which children, adolescents, and adults learn and remember information? See preprint 🧵 and paper for our efforts to answer to this! #PsychSciSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Reinforcement learning increasingly relates to memory specificity from childhood to adulthood - Nature Communications

Making rewarding choices can require either generalization or individuation. Here, the authors show that across contexts, people adapt the specificity with which they represent and, increasingly acros...

New preprint 📝 - another fun collaboration with @arikahn.bsky.social, @licezhang.bsky.social, @nathanieldaw.bsky.social, @hartleylabnyu.bsky.social We ask: Why do children and adults often derive different representations of their environments from the same experiences? 🧠👶🔎 osf.io/preprints/ps...
