Check out @jonathannicholas.bsky.social 's new preprint measuring eye movements to infer individual memory retrievals during decision making, plus a cool RNN modelof that process. Can't express how excited I am about this new technique!

We make flexible choices in new situations by knitting together information from separate relevant memories.
But what governs which memories are retrieved and when?
In a new preprint, we captured how people build decision variables from different memories by tracking their gaze on a blank screen.
Flexible decision making depends on retrieving and recombining memories. Yet because this process unfolds covertly, its governing principles remain unknown. Here we use gaze reinstatement to uncover t...
