Looking forward to presenting my work on exception learning at #VSS2024! Come see my poster in the morning of May 18 to discuss how prefrontal, hippocampal, and visual areas can distinctively support the learning of complex visual categories with exceptional items!

🎉 My first first-author paper is now published in PBR! @mmack and l used novel computational modeling & behavioral approaches to show how selective pattern differentiation and integration can support learning and generalization of category exceptions!

Brief category learning distorts the perceptual space of complex scenes! Our new paper is now in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review: link.springer.com/article/10….

Thanks to the contributions of an amazing group of field-leading authors, Mike Kahana and Anthony Wagner (@SUMemoryLab) are excited to announce that the Oxford Handbook of Human Memory is nearing publication! Chapters can be found at: memory.psych.upenn.edu/Oxfor…

Excited for @cogsci_soc #CogSci2022! I’ll be giving a talk tomorrow (July 28 / 3-4:40PM / Room 104B) on work w/ Carleigh Pace-Tonna, @mmack & @morganbarense. We explore how to leverage associations in memory during review to benefit later free recall. Would love to see you there!

Work w @Rob_Mok, "A multi-level account of hippocampal function from behaviour to neurons". How can high-level cognitive constructs like symbols, clusters, and so forth be implemented in neurons? That's a gap not addressed by model-based neuroscience. 1/8

Parallel contours are important for scene perception. Scenes are more clearly represented in PPA if they have more parallel contours. The parallelism signal seems to originate in V4. Meticulous work by @wilder_jd, @MortezaRezanej1 et al. out in @PLOSONE. journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

For a quick (and timely!) summary of this work, check out our Psychonomics talk today at 12PM EST as part of the session "(045-050) Neural Mechanisms of Memory and Cognition" #psynom21

Some work I did with @mmack and @megschlichting at @macklabuoft has officially been published! People learn better when rule-violating exceptions are presented later in learning (and so does a neural network model of the hippocampus 🧠) nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

Do different kinds of representations support the learning of generalized and specific knowledge? Check out my poster at #SfN2021 w/ @AnnaSchapiro where we use distortions in color memory to examine how such representations change with category learning youtube.com/watch?v=GUU7jgyh…

Our lab's first MRI study entirely conducted at @UofT is now published! Learning exceptions to category rules is related to white matter circuity of the hippocampus. In collab with @megschlichting, Melisa Gumus, and Teresa Zhu. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/shar…

Department of Psychology researchers have developed a new tool called a “scene wheel” to help understand how we perceive and remember visual experiences like crimes or accidents.
