Hadn’t found an important use for my first blue-sky “tweet”… but then all our training grants were taken. @tristansyates.bsky.social wrote what I’m feeling quite eloquently
Last year, I was overjoyed to receive an NIH NRSA fellowship to study toddler brains and caregiving effects on memory at Columbia. Last night, my grant was terminated.

Early caregiving consistency really matters! In a new paper, Petra Winnette and I find that foster care in the first year (compared with institutions) protects against development of behavioral problems in childhood. Importantly...

Behavioral problems, dissociative symptoms, and empathic behaviors in children adopted in infancy from institutional and foster care in the Czech Republic
This study examined if considerably different caregiving experiences in infancy influence socio–emotional development later in childhood. We included children aged 6–9 years who were, immediately a...

Excited to share this perspective with @yaelniv.bsky.social about how schemas might be learned and instantiated via reinforcement learning, latent cause inference, and dimensionality reduction, and what's the medial prefrontal cortex might be doing for all of these www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Schemas, reinforcement learning and the medial prefrontal cortex - Nature Reviews Neuroscience
A computational account of how schemas are learned through experience is lacking. In this Perspective, Bein and Niv synthesize schema theory and reinforcement learning research to derive computational...

Super exciting preprint alert, just for the holidays! Ever wonder why we ask questions? Over the past year, my stellar student @tuvalraz.bsky.social and I have been working on a comprehensive review on human question asking which can now be found at tinyurl.com/mrxfh2hs

Just read this interesting perspective and am still processing the empirical and theoretical meanings of it. I have a feeling this paper is going to make some noise...
A cheeky new paper that may challenge assumptions about emotion (hopefully, in a productive way).
“Arousal Might Not Be Anything to Get Excited About”
journals.sagepub.com/share/W6VFCD... asks: Is there really evidence for arousal, or is it just a placeholder for unexplained aspects of emotion?
