Casey L. Roark

I’ll be considering applications for a PhD student to start in Fall 2025! I’ve been having a blast starting up the Exploration, Learning, and Mind Lab at @UofNH this fall, and I’m excited to grow our lab community. App review begins 1/15. Learn more: liquinlab.github.io

We also discuss some directions for future research, particularly in areas that don't align either single vs. multiple systems perspectives. Considering real-world categories and paradigms other than supervised learning will be necessary for a complete theory of learning.

Is learning supported by multiple distinct systems or just one system? We review evidence supporting both possibilities and challenges for both perspectives. Our conclusion -- the debate isn't resolved yet. We need more research that can account for patterns in the data.

A bit late, but my review paper with John Paul Minda, Priya Kalra, and Anthony Cruz is out now at Nature Reviews Psychology! We review the theoretical debate about the mechanisms supporting category learning and how it has evolved over the past 10 years.

We are likely to advertise a postdoc position in the next month or so. If you are interested in brains, speech, language, oscillations, computational modeling, multisensory integration, predictive perception, please reach out and I can tell you more. RTs appreciated.

Excited to publish for the first time in @ImagingNeurosci - our new findings from EEG and pupillometry highlighting parallel working memory systems for audition (& temporal order) and vision (& spatial location). led by Justin Fleming w/ @InMultisensory @BUHearing @SHBTHarvard

@elescht @mhamptonwray @jaybohland @bchandra_nu @michaelwdickey @CourtneyVenker @PittCSD Yay! Congrats, Dr. Lescht!

A reminder that review of applications for the PhD program at UNH Psychology will begin *January 15th*! I'm looking for students who are interested in perception (audition, vision), learning, and language. See roarklab.com/join-the-lab for more info! Please RT/share 🧠

@TinaLiuTong @Georgetown Yes, absolutely!

@CaseyRoark @Georgetown Thanks Casey. We can definitely start thinking about sending students to each other now♥️

I'm absolutely delighted to share that I'll be joining @Georgetown University Medical Center as an Asst Prof in Spring 2024 to lead the Vision, Imaging, & Plasticity (VIP) Lab. I'm recruiting founding VIP members (grad students, a postdoc, & RAs). Please RT & help spread the word! 🚀

@__zetetic__ @UofNH Thank you!!

@CaseyRoark @UofNH congrats, casey!!!

I’m recruiting PhD students in my Computation, Learning, and Representation lab in Psychology @UofNH to start Fall 2024! Info at roarklab.com and feel free to reach out if you’re interested in applying. Come study perception, language, and learning in beautiful NH!

@neeksww @UofNH Thanks, Neeraj!

@CaseyRoark @UofNH Wishing the best to CLEAR Lab!

@bchandra_nu Thanks, Bharath!!

Ahh! I am so excited to launch my dissertation study on Black women’s experiences in PhD programs! To be eligible, you must identify as a Black woman, be 18 years of age or older, and be currently enrolled in a PhD program (in any discipline)! #PhD #Dissertation

@DeonTBenton @NICHD_NIH Congrats, Deon!

@emilyliquin @UofNH Congrats, Emily! Very excited to have you here next year!

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be joining the @UofNH Psychology Department as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2024! My lab will study how people make new discoveries, especially by exploring, asking questions, and learning from others.

For those few stragglers who are still on here--I'm looking for a postdoc @UConnLABlab 2-year commitment preferred, projects on speech & brain. E-mail me with questions! Please share widely. jobs.hr.uconn.edu/en-us/job/4976…
