New preprint!
"Non-commitment in mental imagery is distinct from perceptual inattention, and supports hierarchical scene construction"
(by Li, Hammond, & me)
link: doi.org/10.31234/osf...
-- the title's a bit of a mouthful, but the nice thing is that it's a pretty decent summary

Another super cool piece of work from one of my fav planning researchers!
🚨New preprint! WHEN should we plan toward a goal? Most research focuses on how and where to plan, but the timing of planning initiation has been overlooked. We show humans leverage a cognitive map - called model-based meta-control - to learn when to deploy a plan.

🌵Out now! Using an RL task that manipulates people's beliefs about agency, we show that exposure to & severity of early-life adversity is associated with lower learning rates & agency beliefs. w/ the brillant @thephelpslab.bsky.social, Kate McLaughlin, & Bryan Dong learnmem.cshlp.org/content/32/1...

Very excited to share this preprint! The project started with me rambling to Sam how I believe people keep uncertainty in mind and explore internally, and ended up with a halloween-themed experiment and a cool model :) It is a very rewarding experience and I have learned so much from Sam and Fred!
People use uncertainty to negotiate the explore-exploit trade-off in reinforcement learning. Do they do something similar during mental planning? This is what @haoxuefan.bsky.social, with me and @fredcallaway.bsky.social, has shown:
