Btesh V, Bramley N, Speekenbrink M, Lagnado D
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn . 2025 Feb; PMID: 39992784
In this study, we investigated human causal learning in a continuous time and space setting. We find participants to be capable active causal structure learners, and with the help of...

Rasanan A, Evans N, Fontanesi L, Manning C, Huang-Pollock C, Matzke D, et al.
Trends Cogn Sci . 2024 Aug; 28(9):857-870. PMID: 39138030
While decision theories have evolved over the past five decades, their focus has largely been on choices among a limited number of discrete options, even though many real-world situations have...

Topf S, Speekenbrink M
J Exp Psychol Appl . 2023 Jan; 29(2):189-206. PMID: 36603123
Recycling behavior can recover valuable materials and mitigate green house gas emissions from landfills and incinerators. The potential positive impact of individuals' recycling behavior depends on others also making an...

Wu C, Schulz E, Pleskac T, Speekenbrink M
Sci Rep . 2022 Mar; 12(1):4122. PMID: 35260717
How does time pressure influence exploration and decision-making? We investigated this question with several four-armed bandit tasks manipulating (within subjects) expected reward, uncertainty, and time pressure (limited vs. unlimited). With...

Tickle H, Tsetsos K, Speekenbrink M, Summerfield C
Psychol Rev . 2021 Sep; 130(1):1-22. PMID: 34570524
When making decisions, animals must trade off the benefits of information harvesting against the opportunity cost of prolonged deliberation. Deciding when to stop accumulating information and commit to a choice...

Stojic H, Schulz E, Analytis P, Speekenbrink M
J Exp Psychol Gen . 2020 Mar; 149(10):1878-1907. PMID: 32191080
How do people decide whether to try out novel options as opposed to tried-and-tested ones? We argue that they infer a novel option's reward from contextual information learned from functional...

Stojic H, Orquin J, Dayan P, Dolan R, Speekenbrink M
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2020 Jan; 117(6):3291-3300. PMID: 31980535
Uncertainty plays a critical role in reinforcement learning and decision making. However, exactly how it influences behavior remains unclear. Multiarmed-bandit tasks offer an ideal test bed, since computational tools such...

Fuhrmann D, Casey C, Speekenbrink M, Blakemore S
Dev Cogn Neurosci . 2019 Nov; 40:100718. PMID: 31733525
Adolescence has been proposed to be a sensitive period of social development, during which the social environment has a heightened effect on brain and behaviour. As such, negative social experiences,...

Wellcome Open Res . 2019 Oct; 4:91. PMID: 31289755
75% of all mental health problems have their onset before the end of adolescence. Therefore, adolescence may be a particularly sensitive time period for preventing mental health problems. Affective control,...
