What happens when you switch goals too quickly? A new study from @BerkeleyPsych Prof. @ShenhavLab + Researchers @GrahekIvan + Xiamin Leng finds doing so can hurt performance — even when the task stays the same. Learn more: bit.ly/3WisG9X

New preprint! Shifting demands of daily life require constant adjustments in how we allocate cognitive resources. Here we show that slower transitions between different cognitive strategies limit cognitive flexibility across the lifespan: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A thread:

Amitai Shenhav@amitaishenhav

I'm happy to now be able to share a talk I gave at @TEDxNewEngland last Fall! The talk is about our lab's work on what makes decisions costly, and how to make them less so. I discuss lessons for all kinds of decisions, including getting people to vote. youtube.com/watch?v=zeHg1r…

After scrolling Twitter, it will take you a while to get back into work mode. Why? In our new work (now out in Psych Rev) with @JasonLeng5, @smusslick, @amitaishenhav, we explore the costs of adjusting cognitive control to meet different goals: psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-44… A thread:
