Assistant Professor
Director: Computation, Learning, & Development Lab
My research aims to understand developmental changes in value-guided learning, memory, and exploration from childhood to early adulthood. By combining novel behavioral tasks with fMRI and computational modeling, I address questions about how, across development, people adapt their learning processes to the demands of varied contexts. How do children, adolescents, and adults learn about the structure of the environment and then use that structured knowledge to guide subsequent learning and decision-making? How do ‘learning to learn’ processes shape behavior over multiple timescales of experience?
