Wayne Wu

Wayne Wu, a Professor at the University of Pittsburgh and expert in attention, intention, and memory, shares insights on the complexities of agency. He discusses how attention is crucial for action and distinguishes between automaticity and control in our choices. Wayne reveals how intentions act as a form of memory, guiding coherent actions over time. He also tackles the phenomenon of choking under pressure, linking it to the balance between reflective control and automatic processes. His work invites listeners to rethink how we engage with intention and memory.
