    • Awake, Offline Processing during Associative Learning 

      Bursley, James K.; Nestor, Adrian; Tarr, Michael J.; Creswell, J. David (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Offline processing has been shown to strengthen memory traces and enhance learning in the absence of conscious rehearsal or awareness. Here we evaluate whether a brief, two-minute offline processing period can boost ...
    • Failure of Working Memory Training to Enhance Cognition or Intelligence 

      Thompson, Todd W.; Waskom, Michael L.; Garel, Keri-Lee Alyson; Cardenas-Iniguez, Carlos; Reynolds, Gretchen O.; Winter, Rebecca; Chang, Patricia; Pollard, Kiersten; Lala, Nupur; Alvarez, George Angelo; Gabrieli, John D.E. (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      Fluid intelligence is important for successful functioning in the modern world, but much evidence suggests that fluid intelligence is largely immutable after childhood. Recently, however, researchers have reported gains ...
    • Modeling the Role of Networks and Individual Differences in Inter-Group Violence 

      Isakov, Alexander; Holcomb, Amelia; Glowacki, Luke; Christakis, Nicholas A. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      There is significant heterogeneity within and between populations in their propensity to engage in conflict. Most research has neglected the role of within-group effects in social networks in contributing to between-group ...
    • Plans, Habits, and Theory of Mind 

      Gershman, Samuel J.; Gerstenberg, Tobias; Baker, Chris L.; Cushman, Fiery A. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Human success and even survival depends on our ability to predict what others will do by guessing what they are thinking. If I accelerate, will he yield? If I propose, will she accept? If I confess, will they forgive? ...
    • Recency, Consistent Learning, and Nash Equilibrium 

      Fudenberg, Drew; Levine, David K. (National Academy of Sciences, 2014)
      We examine the long-term implication of two models of learning with recency bias: recursive weights and limited memory. We show that both models generate similar beliefs and that both have a weighted universal consistency ...
    • Shorter Lines Facilitate Reading in Those Who Struggle 

      Schneps, Matthew H.; Thomson, Jenny M.; Sonnert, Gerhard; Pomplun, Marc; Chen, Chen; Heffner-Wong, Amanda (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      People with dyslexia, who ordinarily struggle to read, sometimes remark that reading is easier when e-readers are used. Here, we used eye tracking to observe high school students with dyslexia as they read using these ...
    • When Does Model-Based Control Pay Off? 

      Kool, Wouter; Cushman, Fiery A.; Gershman, Samuel J. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Many accounts of decision making and reinforcement learning posit the existence of two distinct systems that control choice: a fast, automatic system and a slow, deliberative system. Recent research formalizes this distinction ...
