Can a friend make knock-knock jokes funnier but stand-up less fun? 😁
Our new Psychological Science paper shows that sharing doesn’t always boost enjoyment. Yet seeing a friend amplified happy facial expressions, which, in turn, may have shaped enjoyment.

I haven't been around for a while. I'm back to share a big first: the first 1st author paper from my first PhD student, Abi Wyllie.
Definitely a first worth celebrating.
So here's a summary, if you're interested in familiarity, memory, and attention.

🚨 Excited to share our new paper in JEP: General w/ Tamar Alkalai & Dominique Lamy! 🚨
We examined sequential effects from the visual search, task-switching, and action-control literatures within a single paradigm.
We report two key findings: 🧵 1/4
ALT https://doi.org/10.1037/xge0001942
is largely task-independent.
We also provide novel evidence for task preparation and task inertia in task switching.
Together, these findings highlight the value of examining phenomena from different literatures within a single paradigm.

I’m presenting our research on how gaze is biased toward previous target locations in naturalistic scenes today at #VSS2026. Poster 36.450 in the Pavilion from 2:45 – 6:45 pm - join me if you want to chat!

New paper out in Affective Science!! 🎉
A musician who plays better also listens better. We found the same for faces - we show that deliberate facial mimicry is a measurable skill that predicts emotion recognition, even when measured in separate tasks.

🚨 🚨 🚨
Some irrelevant features of a previous target guide attention during search, but others don't. Are they not encoded, or do they not guide attention?
In our new paper (with @NitzM98 & Dominique Lamy), we show that features that didn't guide attention, were...

still bound to previous responses, suggesting they were encoded.

🚨Proud to share our new paper in JEP:LMC (w/ Dominique Lamy)🚨
Attention is strongly biased towards recently selected locations, but while current theories assume this bias is inflexible, we show that it is actually flexible, but proactive.
A🧵:

These results suggest that we need to modify the current view of the bias towards the previous target location.
Crucially, it suggests that this bias isn't maladaptive in dynamic environments, as long as we know what we are about to do next.

Very proud that our new chapter (w/ Aniruddha Ramgir & Dominique Lamy) on priority maps is out!
Many view this concept as fundamental in explaining how we attend. However, we argue that several critical questions remain unanswered.
1/3
The key questions we address:
1) How are the different factors that influence priority maps organized?
2) How do priority maps evolve dynamically over time?
3) How does temporal attention integrate with spatial priority?
We also review how this concept has emerged
