I'm on the job market🚨
I’m a social psychologist building computational models to study social cognition, attitudes, polarization, and how people update beliefs.
Evidence accumulation models, Hierarchical Bayes, Agent-based models, NLP, etc.
Interested in formal theorizing!

I am thrilled to share a new paper w/ Amalia Bastos, out now in @science.org
We provide the first experimental evidence that a nonhuman animal can follow along a pretend scenario & track imaginary objects. Work w/ Kanzi, the bonobo, at Ape Initiative

It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class.
My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.

A natural explanation would be that monkeys wrongly assume that other agents share their own knowledge.
Royka et al. find that this is NOT the case...
