Nick told us about his broad and exhilarating research program. From incisive work on the development of familiar and unfamiliar face processing, to computer models with topographic representations of visual categories. Don't miss it!
Such a pleasure to host Juliana Trach in our lab meeting. She presented her uniquely innovative work on the neural basis of reinforcement learning in infancy, as well as her superbly designed research on hierarchical representations in motor learning. Watch that space!
Hearing about @shannonmklotz.bsky.social research was so exciting! I have long wondered how we would need to change salience models to make them predict infant gaze, and I think her research has cracked it! Don't miss it!
It was such a treat to host Lauren Smith from UCSD. Her research program is incredible: using fNIRS, naturalistic behavior, and clinical populations to gain insight into joint attention during infancy. I'm excited to see all of her work come out.
The traditional view of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) is that it is a "declarative memory system": necessary for long-term episodic memory but not other domains of cognition. Is that really true? A thread of how there is no such thing as a dedicated "episodic memory system"
Stanford started a pre-doc program and several faculty in psych (incl. myself) are recruiting: iriss.stanford.edu/predoccicl.stanford.edu Please share 🙏
Interested in learning and cognitive control in infants? Apply to our funded RA position! This Stanford program will be especially helpful to those excluded from the traditional pipeline to grad school Project: iriss.stanford.edu/predoctoral-...careersearch.stanford.edu/jobs/iriss-p...
It was our pleasure to host @zoengo.bsky.social at our lab meeting last week. She gave a captivating talk on her new mapping review of memory development. Can't wait to see it all come out.
