We are currently seeking young male participants aged 18 to 28 for an online study on decision-making related to body image.
If you are interested in participating, please email the lab.
We are seeking young adults aged 18 to 28 for a study of decision-making in changing environments.
This is an online study where participants will play games with rewards and maps that change over time.
We would like to see how these sorts of changes are processed by young adults, and how they affect decision-making.
If you are interested in participating, please email the lab.
Multilevel models are statistical models of parameters that vary at more than one level. Sean hosted a free workshop about conducting them in R!
Check out Sean's workshop repository for more information.
A tutorial in collaboration with CUPA designed to show undergraduates and graduate students in psychology how to conduct simple behavioral and cognitive experiments using the jsPsych library.
Check the tutorial repository for all the code and material.

Alexa has been making waves in the local news scene.
On local Montréal news station CJAD, she spoke about how we need to make technology more accessible to senior citizens. Listen to the show!
Alexa has also written an article on the same subject for the Montréal Gazette.

Organised by Ben Eppinger, Julia Rodriguez Buritica, Dietsje Jolles, & Wouter van den Bos, the aim of this symposium was to lay out the different perspectives on science of learning research in education and developmental cognitive neuroscience and to crystalize challenges and gaps in both fields where an interdisciplinary exchange would be helpful.
