Think of the last time you learned something new. Did you learn from someone else? Could you have learned it on your own? In this preprint, we ask how humans learn in different environments—from getting full instructions to almost no instructions at all! psyarxiv.com/u5btm

1/ A century ago, Tolman showed that meaningful learning can occur even without apparent performance improvements. What is the neural basis of this distinction between learning something vs learning to perform? We tackle this in a new manuscript 🔥 🐭🔬📰 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

Have you ever wondered when a habit becomes a habit? Like when you were supposed to turn left to the grocery store but ended up turning right as if going to work? Check out our recent work w/@kishoreneuro @baselesspursuit @ziyizhu15 @Sun_Ruolan and twitter-less Zyan Wang in a 🧵

In an exciting new direction for the lab, we (circuits.jhu.edu) teamed up with Cindy Moss (batlab.johnshopkins.edu/) and Mel Wohlgemuth (arizonabatlab.com/) to bring two-photon imaging to the echolocating bat! Excited to share our preprint about this work (1/13)

Cool new work from @aaronwang_23 @tandom_lauren Damola Ongunlade @jorgemlg and @kishoreneuro! Had the pleasure of seeing this project unfold up close, excited to see it out in the wild

Excited to share this new work from the lab! Our first foray into human learning experiments. Read @aaronwang_23 tweeprint to learn more about how humans learn without instructions in a simple task (it may surprise you!) Just a few words about the team that made this happen (1/5)

Future work should explore how these variables interact in more complex, real-world scenarios where historically disadvantaged backgrounds, ambiguous feedback, and/or hidden curricula are at play.
