A recent redesign of OSF by @cos.io led to widespread access failures. What began as a few broken download links became for me a total disappearance of eight years of DOI-registered work. What happened, how was it resolved, and what it reveals about trust and infrastructure in open science

The Cognition Lab @ University of Zurich is on Bluesky! Follow us for updates on new papers & preprints, conferences that lab members attend & other news around research on #workingmemory, #attention, and #longtermmemory.

3/3 My personal highlight of #ESCOP2025 was becoming this year‘s #WomWom research fairy! 🧚‍♂️ Thanks again to all my fellow #WomeninWorkingMemory. It means a lot ❤️

Hey #memory folks, check out this new preprint by @joschadutli.bsky.social , @koberauer.bsky.social, and @leabartsch.bsky.social showing that elaboration benefits are likely driven by aiding in establishing efficient retrieval cues.

It was an absolute pleasure and so much fun to teach this course at #ESCoP25! Huge thanks to my co-organizers, all the participants, and the ESCoP team for making it such a fantastic experience!

@sarahdanboeck.bsky.social @annesaulin.bsky.social @alinakoppold.bsky.social, Marie Mückstein and I are organizing this year's Young Scientist Retreat! Looking forward to meeting y'all. Secure your spot here: tinyurl.com/ycmyshra (Deadline: Sept 29, 4 pm CET) #ECR #YoungScientists #Networking

What can we learn about working memory by studying eye movements? We followed this question during an thought inspiring symposium at #ESCoP25 with great talks by Shlomit Yuval-Greenberg, @ruhibhanap.bsky.social, @joaovieiraadv.bsky.social, @genevievelawson.bsky.social, @candicemorey.bsky.social

Here is the paper that @mollyadelooze.bsky.social presented this morning at #escop2025 showing source amnesia for recently presented verbal information.

I can't quite believe it – I got a new NSF grant! 😲🤯 I'm incredibly grateful to the program officers & reviewers for their dedication and efforts to keep science going 🌟👏🏼 So, I'll be hiring! Looking for a postdoc to study competition in memory-guided attention. See flyer for details! 🎉

New preprint alert! 🤩 Together with Klaus Oberauer, I wrote a review article on how focused attention in #workingmemory affects long-term memory formation. osf.io/preprints/os...

New Preprint with @edamizrak.bsky.social! Performance in immediate memory tasks reflects a flexible mixture of contributions of #workingmemory and LTM. Distraction disrupts WM, while PI impairs retrieval from LTM; when both are in play, performance depends on the relative reliability of each system
