Check out our newly rebranded lab investigating how environments shape cognitive development and learning. We focus on abilities typically associated with the frontal lobes, aiming to understand how experience influences how we think, act, and learn. www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/departme...

Last night. Thank you, Santiago de Chile 🇨🇱 💕 @profandytolmie.bsky.social

Brilliant time in Chile with @profandytolmie.bsky.social at the MinSol Inaugural conference in Santiago.

This new Department for Education report, led by @cantalek.bsky.social and colleagues at @ioe.bsky.social provides an up-to-date understanding of the identification, support and collaborative practices for children with #SEND. Read their full findings here 👉

How can we better support individuals living with #dyslexia? We spoke to @drrebeccagordon.bsky.social (@ioe.bsky.social) to find out. www.ucl.ac.uk/brain-scienc...

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

Qiuyu Du, Andy Tolmie and I have a new paper out: The Role of Mind Wandering During Incubation in Divergent and Convergent Creative Thinking www.mdpi.com/2076-3425/15...

Here is a talk I did for Learnus on working memory, it’s development, environmental influences and why these matter in the classroom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kAb...

Interesting and relevant, @damcotto.bsky.social

🚨 New paper alert 🚨

80 years ago today, my grandmother left my 1-year-old mum with a neighbour and went and got drunk with my great auntie Ilene. Happy VE Day everyone!

New paper with @jmedrano.bsky.social. It’s the first experiment in a line of research testing working memory (our ability to hold and manipulate information for later use) theories in the context of math problem solving and learning. bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Quick trip to @uofcalifornia.bsky.social for a coffee and a chat with @damcotto.bsky.social 😊 ☕️ ☀️

If ever you can't sleep, title and abstract screening should do the trick.

QJEP special issue on the Baddeley/Hitch (1974) model is out 🥳 Happy to be included in this exciting collection with @drrebeccagordon.bsky.social. Please do check them all out 🙏🏾

UNESCO-ing it up with the UCL Psychology and CEN crowd

I made a starter pack to follow your favorite WomWoMs (Women of Working Memory) go.bsky.app/78fcoth You can ping me to be added!

I was interviewed by Learning Disability Today about our Shape Research, Change Lives project: www.learningdisabilitytoday.co.uk/topic/resear... To download our report: www.surrey.ac.uk/research-pro...

Looking forward to reading this article by @jntowse.bsky.social @amyatkinson.bsky.social Satoru Saito and Bob Logie #workingmemory #cogsci

This was a fun paper to write 🤓 Thankful for the opportunity to write with @drrebeccagordon.bsky.social and the reviewers who challenged us to make the paper what it is. Check it out!

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology celebrates the Baddeley & Hitch (1974) approach to working memory with a Special Issue, bringing contemporary ideas and data together with broader reflections on its impacts. More to come soon on the ensemble of papers.

50 years ago Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch propelled the term #workingmemory into the psychological lexicon, with a vision that still resonates today! This editorial with Mark Hurlstone, @amyatkinson.bsky.social , Satoru Saito and Robert Logie, reflects on that remarkable contribution in 1974.

Very proud of this paper that @damcotto.bsky.social and I have just published: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Check out my Veggie ID! You can create yours at sophie006liu.github.io/vegetal/

I have a great PhD project available via the GW4 BioMed2 Doctoral Training Partnership - on the impact of parental mental health on the neural substrate of early executive function development. Please share, and feel free to get in touch if you are interested. gw4biomed.ac.uk/the-impact-o...

Yesterday we launched the outcomes of our Nuffield funded MetaSENse project- looking at what interventions work for which SEND groups, and the barriers teachers face in accessing them. Here’s a link to the toolkit: www.educationalneuroscience.org.uk/metasense/

I was #1,542,600!

If you are a working memory, executive function or similar researcher and want to find others here, @jntowse.bsky.social has set up a starter pack! go.bsky.app/3HinJx9

Well, the cool kids have set up starter packs for lots of other topics so it’s surely about time we got this started :-) It is just a first attempt and no doubt will need revisions, apologies if you are not yet here - please let me know of additions or alterations, thanks! go.bsky.app/3HinJx9

“I’m built for this!”

Our QJEP paper has been accepted! "Revisiting Working Memory 50 Years after Baddeley and Hitch: A Review of Field-specific Conceptualizations, Use and Misuse, and Paths Forward for Studying Children" by @damcotto.bsky.social and me! Pre-print here: osf.io/har37 Can't wait for this to be out there!
