Trial-by-Trial Behavioral Adaptation in a Restless Bandit Task

August 2026 · Completed

A reproducible mixed-effects analysis of trial-by-trial behavioral adaptation in a four-arm restless bandit task using openly available behavioral data.

Research Question

Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling of Visual Working Memory Precision

July 2026 · Completed

A reproducible hierarchical Bayesian analysis of visual working memory precision using circular behavioral data from an openly available continuous-report dataset.

Research Question

How does memory load influence visual working memory precision, and can hierarchical Bayesian models characterize individual differences and memory-load effects in continuous-report performance?

Stroop Interference: A Behavioral and Computational Analysis

June 2026 · Completed

A reproducible behavioral and computational analysis of cognitive interference in the Stroop task using open behavioral data.

Research Question

How does cognitive interference influence reaction time and accuracy during Stroop task performance, and to what extent can a simple computational model reproduce the observed interference pattern?
