New paper out in cognition with @arikahn.bsky.social, @nathanieldaw.bsky.social, Cate Hartley, and @katenuss.bsky.social !!
We show that children 👶 use predictive representations (e.g. SR) to guide their choices, providing an account of how they can make flexible choices in a changing world

Children leverage predictive representations for flexible, value-guided choice
By harnessing a mental model of how the world works, learners can make flexible choices in changing environments. However, while children and adolesce…

Excited to see everyone at #RLDM2025!
I’ll be presenting a poster “Trial-by-trial landing of successor representations in human behavior” on Friday (Poster session 3, #52), work with @nathanieldaw.bsky.social and @danisbassett.bsky.social

New preprint 📝 - another fun collaboration with @arikahn.bsky.social, @licezhang.bsky.social, @nathanieldaw.bsky.social, @hartleylabnyu.bsky.social
We ask: Why do children and adults often derive different representations of their environments from the same experiences? 🧠👶🔎
