• Modeling human eye movements during immersive visual search

  bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) · 2022-12-01 · 7 citations

  preprintOpen access1st authorCorresponding

  Abstract The nature of eye movements during visual search has been widely studied in psychology and neuroscience. Virtual reality (VR) paradigms provide an opportunity to test whether computational models of search can predict naturalistic search behavior. However, existing ideal observer models are constrained by strong assumptions about the structure of the world, rendering them impractical for modeling the complexity of environments that can be studied in VR. To address these limitations, we…

• Name that state: How language affects human reinforcement learning

  2022-07-25 · 3 citations

  preprintOpen access1st authorCorresponding

  We describe two experiments designed to test whether the ease with which people can label features of the environment influences human reinforcement learning. The first experiment presents evidence that people are more efficient at learning to discern relevant features of a task when candidate features are easier to name. The second experiment shows that learning what action to take in a given state is easier when states have more readily nameable verbal labels, an effect that was especially pro…

• PMON81 A Case of Hypophysitis Associated With SARS-CoV2 Vaccination

  Journal of the Endocrine Society · 2022-11-01 · 1 citations

  articleOpen access

  Abstract Objective Although SARS-CoV2 vaccines have been developed with multiple novel technologies and rapidly disseminated worldwide, the full profile of adverse effects has not been known. Recently, there are sporadic but increasing reports of endocrinopathies in relation to SARS-CoV2 vaccination. Here, we report a rare case of hypophysitis with acute onset of diabetes insipidus after SARS-CoV2 vaccination. Case Report A 48-year-old female who had been in her usual state of health until she r…

• The roots of rationality

  PsyArXiv (OSF Preprints) · 2026-04-11

  preprintOpen access

  Functional accounts of mind, brain, and behavior have profoundly shaped thinking across many disciplines. Despite this common lens, the processes driving adaptive outcomes are often studied in isolation, leading to narrow and localized explanations. This paper brings together perspectives across fields by identifying six dynamics that enable agents to behave adaptively. These dynamics span multiple timescales and systems, including individual-level processes—thinking, learning, and development—a…
