Computational psychiatry needs more developmentalists. If I were to bet, I'd say, there's a critical window of time where core beliefs (hyperpriors) form through learning early in life. These shape our world models that allow us to make sense of new data through the causal knowledge we've accrued.

Schulz et al. show that anhedonia in depression, as measured by a scale often equated
with loss of pleasure, reflects reduced anticipation of food rewards rather than impaired
enjoyment itself. Linkin...
Please give us cumulative effect size over time plots, hopefully also explaining how the model is improved gradually 🤞
I just gave a philosophy of science talk to our PhD students, asking for this from the field. Great to see part of this center stage in an intro text!
