Just a few months after successfully defending his dissertation, Alex has accepted a full-time offer from Spotify as a Behavioral  Scientist! The Huettel Lab is very proud of Dr. Breslav for this outstanding achievement and we continue to wish him even more success in his future works. Congratulations once more!!

 

We are very proud to announce that Alex’s paper, ‘Shuffle the Decks: Children are Sensitive to Incidental Non-Random Structure in a Sequential Choice Task’, has been accepted to the top empirical journal – Psychological Science. The take-home message was that kids might look like they are making maladaptive decisions, but they instead may be sophisticated decision-makers trying to learn their world’s structure. 

Congratulations, Dr. Breslav! We look forward to more amazing projects from you!

We are excited to announce that Nikki’s paper, ‘Healthful choices depend on the latency and rate of the information accumulation’ at Nature Human Behaviour. You can access the paper here – Nature and also a blog post by Nikki can be found here – nature portfolio
