Welcome back to Dr Lucas Castillo, who is starting an ESRC-funded postdoc with Prof. Adam Sanborn using statistical sampling algorithms as standard models of human perceptual and cognitive behaviour. Lucas recently gained his PhD in the department exploring why people are not able to act randomly.

Our lab has a list of papers that use statistical sampling algorithms like MCMC to explain human behaviour. Thanks to @lcastillo.bsky.social, you can select by behaviour or algorithm. If we've missed any, please let us know!

🚀 New paper out in Psychological Review! How does learning change across the lifespan? We propose that resource rationality—adapting belief updating to cognitive limitations—can explain age-related differences in learning. 📖

🚨 A new preprint is out! How does utility influence mental simulations of risky events? 🤔🎲 We tested this across 4 experiments & found that most people simulate probabilities accurately, but biases emerge in key conditions! If you want to learn more, keep reading!

New Preprint Out! 🚀🚀 Can people generate a random sequence if given enough time? Keep reading if - You make cognitive models with randomness in them - You like to explore the world, be creative, choose well - You want protection from clever agents exploiting patterns in your behavior.

In our new preprint, my co-authors and I explore how people’s probability judgments sometimes don’t add up the way they should, and how these violations can help us compare different models of how people make these judgments!
