Computational cognitive models have been used extensively to formalize cognitive
processes. Model parameters offer a simple way to quantify individual differences in how …

Deterioration in motor control is a hallmark of aging, significantly contributing to a decline in
quality of life. More controversial is the question of whether and how aging impacts …

Humans use both model-free (or habitual) and model-based (or goal-directed) strategies in
sequential decision-making. Working memory (WM) is essential for the model-based …

The thesis investigates applications and extensions of reinforcement learning (RL)
algorithms to modeling human cognition, and focuses on development of new tools for fitting …

This dissertation investigates how age of drinking onset and biological sex influence the
affective and cognitive consequences that follow from a history of alcohol binge-drinking …

Cognitive aging represents the decline in cognitive abilities as a consequence of the aging
process, and it is characterized by the hypo-functionality of different cognitive domains such …

Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms have had tremendous success accounting for
reward-based learning across species, in both behavior and brain. In particular, simple …
