Kate Nussenbaum is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Boston University. Her research focuses on understanding the developmental changes in value-guided learning, memory, and exploration from childhood to early adulthood. By combining innovative behavioral tasks with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and computational modeling, she addresses critical questions about how individuals develop adaptive learning processes in response to varying contextual demands. Her work explores how children, adolescents, and adults learn about the structure of their environments and utilize this structured knowledge to enhance their subsequent learning and decision-making. Key research inquiries include the mechanisms of 'learning to learn' and how these processes shape behavior across different timescales of experience.
