The Role of Memory in Temporal Discounting A widely observed phenomenon in intertemporal choice is temporal discounting; people prefer to have rewards sooner rather than later, even if the delayed rewards are larger. Despite the universality o...

So excited that this textbook, edited by @dfareri.bsky.social @dvsmith.bsky.social & @thepsychologist.bsky.social is out now! And so happy to have been invited to contribute. Here’s my chapter on the role of memory, esp. semantic memory, in temporal discounting: link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

We are hiring a research specialist, to start this summer! This position would be a great fit for individuals looking to get more experience in computational and cognitive neuroscience research before applying to graduate school. #neurojobs Apply here: research-princeton.icims.com/jobs/21503/r...

Cool results! Congrats, Holly!

Thanks, Ahmet, and congrats to you as well! (I saw you on the list!)

Hi, thank you for your interest! I just want to clarify that the links are posted there by Psychology Today, and I am not a trained counselor or therapist. But I hope that you’re able to find some helpful resources on the site or elsewhere.

(2/2) Previous research on this topic was inconclusive & this finding (despite being null) tells us more about the nature of both delay discounting & OCD. I am so grateful that I had this chance to work with the Global OCD study team! Check out the full paper here: doi.org/10.1177/2167...

People With OCD Do Not Overvalue Immediate Rewards A new study finds that people with OCD, despite feeling compelled to perform rituals in response to their obsessions, are just as willing to delay gratification as everyone else.

(1/2) I collaborated w/ a global research team (in Brazil, India, Netherlands, South Africa & USA) who collected data from >250 ppl w/ unmedicated OCD & >250 healthy ppl, and the jury is in: people w/ OCD show normal delay discounting. Check out my blog post about the paper: tinyurl.com/OCDdiscblog

I want to draw attention to a special issue that Lila Davachi and I put together to memorialize our friend and colleague Sarah DuBrow. It’s full of papers inspired by her work and her being from a group of collaborators, friends, and fans! Thanks @bradpostle.bsky.social for helping make this happen.

Hi Uma! Cool idea - can you add me, too? Thanks! 🙂
