Looking forward to presenting my work on exception learning at #VSS2024! Come see my poster in the morning of May 18 to discuss how prefrontal, hippocampal, and visual areas can distinctively support the learning of complex visual categories with exceptional items!

🎉 My first first-author paper is now published in PBR! @mmack and l used novel computational modeling & behavioral approaches to show how selective pattern differentiation and integration can support learning and generalization of category exceptions! link.springer.com/article/10.375…

Thanks to the contributions of an amazing group of field-leading authors, Mike Kahana and Anthony Wagner (@SUMemoryLab) are excited to announce that the Oxford Handbook of Human Memory is nearing publication! Chapters can be found at: memory.psych.upenn.edu/Oxford_Handboo…

Excited for @cogsci_soc #CogSci2022! I’ll be giving a talk tomorrow (July 28 / 3-4:40PM / Room 104B) on work w/ Carleigh Pace-Tonna, @mmack & @morganbarense. We explore how to leverage associations in memory during review to benefit later free recall. Would love to see you there!

Work w @Rob_Mok, "A multi-level account of hippocampal function from behaviour to neurons". How can high-level cognitive constructs like symbols, clusters, and so forth be implemented in neurons? That's a gap not addressed by model-based neuroscience. 1/8 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

For a quick (and timely!) summary of this work, check out our Psychonomics talk today at 12PM EST as part of the session "(045-050) Neural Mechanisms of Memory and Cognition" #psynom21

Some work I did with @mmack and @megschlichting at @macklabuoft has officially been published! People learn better when rule-violating exceptions are presented later in learning (and so does a neural network model of the hippocampus 🧠) nature.com/articles/s4159…

Do different kinds of representations support the learning of generalized and specific knowledge? Check out my poster at #SfN2021 w/ @AnnaSchapiro where we use distortions in color memory to examine how such representations change with category learning youtube.com/watch?v=GUU7jg…
