PhD position available! Interested in thinking critically about determinants & definitions of mental health, long-term impacts of early-life experience, & fundamental mechanisms of decision-making? See aaron.bornstein.org/lab for details, and apply at apply.grad.uci.edu/apply/
Postdoc position focused on fMRI and the locus coeruleus in aging northeastern.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/careers/job/Bo…
In our new @PNASNews paper, across 21 experiments with 23,000+ participants, we identify a critical distortion that shapes decisions involving tradeoffs: we find that people systematically overweight quantified information in such decisions. Paper: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… 🧵
"...universities—institutions that deplore Trump in name—have shifted in recent years toward carrying out elements of his program in miniature, seemingly uncoerced." @gabrielwinant @DissentMag dissentmagazine.org/online_article…
We think that all memory is stored in the brain. But our study published today in @NatureComms shows that all cells—even kidney cells—can count, detect patterns, store memories, and do so similarly to brain cells. My first (co)corresponding author paper!🧵nature.com/articles/s4146…
A response to this (long) moment focused on the next election starts from a losing position. Working class-this includes you-power has never begun at the ballot box. The answer today is the same as it was yesterday. @natashalennard @theintercept theintercept.com/2024/11/06/tru…
It's unfortunate that this even needs to be said.
International Working Group suggests biomarker positive cognitively normal individuals should not be diagnosed as having Alzheimer disease and instead are at-risk. ja.ma/40qWcOg #CTAD24
This is *such* a good idea.
As part of an exciting new @UKRI_News interdisciplinary study of the vividness of memory, we are recruiting two post-doctoral researchers, one in cognitive neuroscience (jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/48823/) and one in intellectual and cultural history (jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/48767/). Please share!
"... the artificial intelligentsia is dragging us into an archaic future where intelligence is quantified, fixed, and ranked... We would do well to remember that IQ is, above all, a eugenic concept, concocted ... to justify the rules of the game." 🎯@ruha9
My latest on “The New Artificial Intelligentsia,” part of the Legacies of Eugenics series @LAReviewofBooks Thanks to all who read + share!
ASFP works!! Did you know 71% of ASFP applicants get accepted to at least one PhD program? Field averages (from APA) are below 12%. See more below and at ASFP.io/s/2023-Applica…
We asked previous applicants to share their experience getting feedback from ASFP. Check out this week's #TestimonialTuesday and find more info at asfp.io/applicants!
On almost every college campus, there is Black (& often LGBTQ) person chosen as the Palestine protest scapegoat. At UC Irvine, it’s Dr. Tiffany Willoughby-Herard. Of 10 defendants, her charges are most punitive. Please sign this letter of support. bit.ly/WilloughbyHera…
A woman who said she is a professor in the global studies dept was detained alongside UC Irvine students When asked if she was concerned about possibly jeopardizing her job, she responded, "What job do I have if the students don't have a future?"
1/ I've long wondered why executive function in childhood predicts life outcomes. Why does juggling information in mind, shifting between tasks, and controlling our impulses matter so much? I'm increasingly convinced that our early answers missed something fundamental.
I’m thrilled to see this out now, & couldn’t be happier that it landed in TiCS! I already wrote a 🧵on the positive case I’m making (below). I want to briefly elaborate on the negative case: why the status quo on goals & value is in need of a new account. From my conclusion:
Our paper on the Affective Gradient Hypothesis is now out on @TrendsCognSci! 🧠 ➡️sciencedirect.com/science/articl… For a short summary of how this theory originated and what it proposes, see this 🧵: twitter.com/amitaishenhav/…
New paper from @avmah44 and @golden_neurons: “Dopamine transients encode RPEs independent of learning rates.” Rats’ dynamic learning rates approximate Bayesian changepoint detection. DA does not reflect dynamic learning rates. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Does your psych research rely on average race comparisons? You might be reifying race! 😱 I show how & provide an alternative toolkit: combining variance analyses with race anti-realism This paper was an 8 year journey, slowly became what it needed to psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi…
#sfn2024 #sfn24 Visit @yifeichen2023 this afternoon at Poster O17!
Wed PM Poster O17: Do adverse experiences lead to uncertainty aversion? @yifeichen2023 (w @nora_pinephrine & Daniel Stout) shows that early-life-unpredictability, but not trauma exposure, affects how people plan under uncertainty in a structured foraging task #sfn2024 @SfNtweets
""Memory is a reconstructive, creative act: The “true” memory might be irretrievable, but the factitious image she creates in place of the “authentic” one is striking—and therein lies the distance between the voice and the author’s autobiography"" publicbooks.org/the-lover-40-a…
I loved thinking with so many great Durassians for @PublicBooks' roundtable on the occasion of The Lover's 40th anniversary. Thanks to our guest editor @aliceblackhurst! publicbooks.org/the-lover-40-a…
Tue AM Poster LBA176: How does multi-step planning change w memory capacity & experience? Emily Dinh (w @neuro_dz, Jerry Guo, @sharon_noh, @kwcooper) shows autoencoders can capture human planning diffs using dense/sparse & distributed/local representations #sfn2024 @SfNtweets
