Turns out we learn from imagined experiences via an endogenous prediction error! Complementary behavioral, computational & neural evidence in this #preprint by awesome lab alumna @aroma_dabas, w/@rasmusbruckner & @HeidrunSchultz. doi.org/10.1101/2024.06.24.6… @MPI_CBS @CUPsychandNeuro

Excited to finally share the preprint of the major study of my PhD! 🥳 With @rasmusbruckner, @HeidrunSchultz and @rg_benoit , we investigated whether we can learn from imagined experiences much the same way that we learn from actual experiences. 1/5 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Learning from imagined experiences via an endogenous prediction error

Experiences shape preferences. This is particularly the case when they deviate from our expectations and thus elicit prediction errors. Here we show that prediction errors do not only occur in...

A Review in @NatRevPsych describes intentional and unintentional forgetting, highlights alignment across these traditionally siloed research areas, and explores the role of forgetting in certain clinical conditions. 🔒 go.nature.com/4cXEBQt
This is figure 3, which shows testing accounts of unintentional forgetting.

@HeidrunSchultz will show how prior knowledge represented in the PFC guides episodic retrieval, and @pauluspc will track how schematic representations of a social network emerge in the mPFC due to the immersion into a complex and new environment. 5/5
