New publication with Ben Eppinger and @fbolenz! ✨ “Based on recent findings […], we propose that age-related impairments in complex goal-directed behavior result from an underlying deficit in the representation of state spaces of cognitive tasks.” journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Congrats @Nathali27501316 🎉
Proud that a paper I worked on with Sean Devine, Dr. @StefanEhrlich3 and Dr. Ben Eppinger has been published! In a nutshell, when surrounded by images of thin women, participants became significantly more likely to judge bodies as overweight. #bodyimage doi.org/10.1177%2F0956797622…

Should I be bothered to invest effort? 🤔 How do I know? Our work suggests that similar to (our efforts’) rewards 🏆, we we leverage and update past experiences about how much our efforts mattered 💪🏼. 📈 See 🧵👇🏼
How do people learn whether their cognitive efforts matter? Check out our new paper with @froemero1, @mpraterfahey, and @amitaishenhav: academic.oup.com/cercor/adva… A thread:
