Social rejection hurts, but it also offers information we can learn from. Our latest work links the brain’s ‘social rejection’ network to learning, giving a computational account of neural responses to social rejection. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Happy to have presented our work from @USC_SLAC_lab at #SNE2024 which investigated learning computations guiding who people choose to connect with after rejection or acceptance
Looking forward to our symposium tomorrow at #APS24SF on "How Semantic Meaning Shapes and Is Shaped By Social Learning"! We'll explore how language facilitates social learning and develops through interaction, across self-concept, reinforcement learning, and emotion labels.
Our latest work out in @TrendsCognSci: Simplifying Social Learning — we consider how social expertise simplifies complex reinforcement learning.
Our latest work out in @TrendsCognSci: Simplifying Social Learning — we consider how social expertise simplifies complex reinforcement learning.
Implications of our latest work: 1) Social concepts make complex choices easier 2) The balance of model-based vs model-free learning may reflect conceptual ease of a model, rather than confusion re: instructions 3) RL looks different in familiar (vs novel) environments

We naturally size each other up, trying to figure out who we like, who's honest, who's competent. This week on the podcast, @leorhackel shares his work on how we learn about other people and the different impressions we end up forming of them.

Our new work bridges Fuzzy Trace Theory and social impressions: people form two kinds of impressions (relative or categorical), which can lead to very different patterns of social choice.

In work now in press, we find that people generalize reward associations from individuals to groups--and this influences their interaction choices even when past rewards no longer predict future outcomes. w/ Drew Kogon, @david_m_amodio, & @ProfWendyWood: hackellab.org/groups-jesp
Apply to join our lab as a lab manager/RA!
We review how social identity can help change norms, promote cooperation, downplaying partisanship, or leverage other identities to promote pro-climate change beliefs & behaviors. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Via @kim_doell @philipparnamets @EHarrisNYU @leorhackel @jayvanbavel
