Changes in our feelings, or "affective surprise," may act as a learning signal that influences what we remember. Large magnitude deviations in experienced valence during encoding relate to better long-term associative memory.

Our lab is recruiting a PhD student this cycle! Apps for Emory are due in exactly 2 weeks & many of my awesome colleagues are also recruiting including @pf-hitchcock.bsky.social @vanessabrown.bsky.social @jaredmedina.bsky.social & more! More info: psychology.emory.edu/home/graduat...
This August, I successfully defended my PhD thesis at UMass Amherst. Thanks to all the incredible advisors, colleagues, and friends who supported me throughout the journey!
Very excited about my new role as a postdoc working with @aliocohen.bsky.social at Emory!
We find that simpler, single-rate models explain the behavioral mouse tracking data just as well as the more complex dual-rate model in gradual motor adaptation tasks with online feedback when participants are asked to move as fast as possible. #psychSciSky
Dual and Multi-rate models have been quite successful in explaining motor learning. We explore the cases when the dual-rate model is NOT needed.

Excited to share my paper with Rosie Cowell and David Huber on Visuomotor learning is out now in JEP:HPP! psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-...
Come see my poster [1-154] at #cosyne tonight at 8! I show how successor representation accurately predicts that we can learn statistical patterns even with short exposures!
