💥 Our new paper (with Lucas Molleman and Björn Lindström) is now out in @NatureHumBehav 🥳 nature.com/articles/s41562-0… 🧠 Here, we advance a novel RL account—the Social Feature Learning (SFL) model—that explains how people learn to learn from others! 🤝 🧵👇

Going beyond these experiments, we explore the implications of the SFL model for social learning under a variety of environmental contexts (such as spatial & environmental variability or dangerous environments, check out the full paper for these agent-based simulations and more)

🚨 New preprint out! 🚨 How do people make moral judgments as third parties? 👀 We show how two motivations—inequality aversion (fair = moral) ⚖️ and the common-is-moral heuristic (frequent = moral) 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧—interact to shape evaluations 🧵👇 📄 osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/na…

Together, these findings show that fairness concerns & conformity jointly but independently shape moral norms. Understanding their interplay can help explain the successes & failures of third-party judgments regulating prosociality in social systems

🌻 New paper out in @PNASNews! We employ a reinforcement learning approach to understand how societal stereotypes are internalised as personal prejudice. link: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24… @david_m_amodio's excellent explainer 🧵 below:
