❗New Paper❗Is children's attention more like a spotlight that darts across time, or one that diffuses across many things at once? How might children's immature attention help their learning? Our Dev Sci Paper has answers! 🧵🎯 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41549519/

How do hippocampal pathways contribute to learning regularities and exceptions? To answer this, Melisa Gumus & @drmack.bsky.social use diffusion imaging to identify the endpoints of different hippocampal pathways, and then analyze functional activity within those "footprints". Super innovative!

New open access paper with @drmack.bsky.social! 🎉 The menstrual cycle has non-linear effects on pattern separation as measured by the mnemonic similarity task (MST). Perceived stress facilitates pattern separation performance independent of the menstrual cycle. t.ly/k6Pul

Curious about how individual differences in episodic memory traits relate to changes in memory performance over time? Come check out my poster on Sunday, 5-7pm, poster session C, board 66. #CNS2025

🎉 My first first-author paper is now published in PBR! @drmack.bsky.social and l used novel computational modeling & behavioral approaches to show how selective pattern differentiation and integration support learning and generalization of category exceptions! link.springer.com/article/10.3...

Real-world categories often contain exceptions that disobey the perceptual regularities followed by other members. Prominent psychological and neurobiological theories indicate that exception learning...
