Today in Nature, we show how a standard neural net, optimized for compositional skills, can mimic human systematic generalization (SG) in a head-to-head comparison. This is the capstone of a 5 year effort with Marco Baroni to make progress on SG. (1/8) nature.com/articles/s4158…

Can people associate cause and effect events that occur hours apart? New work by Yiweng Zhang Ben Rottman says they can, even after almost a full day. Post by Melinh K. Lai wp.me/p8IxYp-2u6

The Department of Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications for three full-time faculty positions at the level of Teaching Assistant Professor in Psychology. cfopitt.taleo.net/careersection/…

Can highly recommend working in this wonderful dept! Teaching faculty are valued and have their own area to provide a professional home and support within the broader dept. You should apply!

Check out this R Shiny App designed to explore causality and multiple regression: pitt.shinyapps.io/Rottman_Causal… This tool helps you understand possible relationships between variables, including noise, confusion, alternative effects, mediation, and interaction/moderation. A very nice

New paper out now in PNAS with Vishnu Murty & Ben Rottman! We found that the benefits of the spacing effect on item and associative memory depend on the variability in the mnemonic content and the timescale of the spacing intervals pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Super interesting paper out from our lab head by Emily Cowan in collaboration with Ben Rottman and twitterless Yiwen Zhang. There are some cool takes on temporal scale, spacing, and variability.

Thrilled to have had the opportunity to write about our recent @PNAS paper for Scientific American Scientific American! with Vishnu Murty Ben Rottman and Yiwen Zhang scientificamerican.com/article/the-be…
