🚨New pre-print out from our lab!!🚨 "Developmental differences in exploration reveal underlying differences in structure inference" by @Nora_Pinephrine @rheza__b @cate_hartley @urrational Read here: osf.io/preprints/psya…

We are excited to share that our PI @cate_hartley will be presenting at The Science of Learning conference hosted by @learningandtheb next month (April 25-27) here in NYC! Check out the program and register for online or in-person attendance here: learningandthebrain.com/conference-533…

Please join us in congratulating #SANS2025 award winners! Mid-career award: Cate Hartley (@hartleylabnyu) Early-career award: Mark Thornton (@Mark_A_Thornton) Both awards will be presented at the Annual Meeting in Chicago (registration open)! socialaffectiveneuro.org/registration/

New pre-print out of our lab, "Children leverage predictive representations for flexible, value-guided choice," from former lab members @lice_zhang @katenuss and collaborators @nathanieldaw @ari_e_kahn! @cate_hartley osf.io/preprints/psya…

Join us Saturday, 8/10, for our final #APA2024 CEO's Spotlight session. APA CEO @ArthurCEvans will join @profgerhardt, Dr. Catherine Hartley of @hartleylabnyu, and @Byron_Powell to discuss their research efforts around critical societal issues. More info: at.apa.org/3499d5

Dr. Catherine Alexandra Hartley (@hartleylabnyu) is an Associate Prof. at @NYUPsych who examines learning, memory, and decision-making processes that shape behavior through neuroimaging, psychophysiology, computational modeling, genetics, and economic decision theories. (3/5)

New paper out from the lab! "Sensitivity to the Instrumental Value of Choice Increases Across Development" in Psych Science. @katenuss @perrilane @HanxiaoLu1 @szorowi1 @cate_hartley journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Former Hartley Lab grad student, Dr. Kate Nussenbaum, will be starting her own lab next year at BU!! 🎉🧠 If you're looking for a position as a lab manager or PhD student, check out her lab website below!

I’m excited to share a new, long-in-the-making, theoretical perspective piece, written with @cate_hartley in @NatRevPsych. Here, we explore how models of meta-learning may inform our understanding of the developmental process. rdcu.be/dE8nQ 🧵

Really proud of this one. First paper with my amazing post-doc mentor @cate_hartley. More in the thread. @hartleylabnyu @eraneldar

🗣️📢The Hartley Lab at NYU is hiring a full-time lab manager to start this summer!!🧑‍💻 If you're looking for research experience before grad school and are interested in cognitive development and/or reinforcement learning, get more details and apply here: apply.interfolio.com/142391

Do adolescents learn better from reward or punishment? New blog post in @PsychToday with @DrJoCutler and @RuthBPauli on our recent study nature.com/articles/s4146… featuring work by @sjblakemore @hartleylabnyu @arkadykonovalov and inspired by many others! psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/the-…

New preprint! Here, we examine how the specificity of learning computations adapts to the reward structure of the environment and influences memory across development. Read on for more details. 🧵⬇️ osf.io/preprints/psya… @hartleylabnyu @cate_hartley

The lab went on a hike at Breakneck Ridge two weeks ago! We got to enjoy the fall colors and views of the Hudson on an unseasonably warm day 🍁🍂🍃 (after an unexpectedly arduous climb 😅)

Very proud of second-year grad students @HanxiaoLu1 and @rheza__b for presenting work from their first year in the lab to the department today!! 🎉 Thanks to our RA @YvetteQMa for the photos 📷

That's a wrap on #CCN2023 @CogCompNeuro!!! The Hartley lab had a great time in Oxford presenting our work and enjoying the local sights and snacks 📊🌼🫖
