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.
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!
I am looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join my lab at Sabancı University in Istanbul for a 2-year TÜBİTAK-funded position, with possible extension.
Interested candidates can email me with a CV and a brief note about their research interests.
More details on gunselilab.com soon.
Huge congratulations to Nursima Ünver (@nunvera.bsky.social), who initiated this project during her Master's and continued to spearhead it after moving abroad for her PhD. Well done!
We initially expected distraction to reduce precision, helping explain mixed findings in the literature on distraction costs: some tasks may tap into precision more.
However, distraction selectively reduced accessibility. Thus, the source of mixed findings remains unclear.
Importantly, once disrupted, retrieval was not easily recovered.
After distraction, the same item was presented again at test, yet performance remained impaired, suggesting that retrieval is not easily re-established once interrupted.
