Happy publication day to first author @ewanmurray.bsky.social! A lot of hard work by Ewan went into this, so it is great to see if fully published. A Meta-analytic Review of the Effectiveness of Spacing and Retrieval Practice for Mathematics Learning #cognition #psychscisky #neuroskyence

Do you want to get your school involved in #research? Perhaps you want to get hands on with the latest evidence & contribute to new developments on a particular topic? We'd love to chat about your interests! You can let us know here, or reach out to us directly :) sunray.york.ac.uk/join-the-net...

Hello world! 👋 We are the School & University Network for Research Across Yorkshire. We provide opportunities for schools and researchers to work together on understanding child development. Please do say hello, and find out more about joining the network here sunray.york.ac.uk

Landed back in the UK. Definitely learnt a lot working with Steven Pan’s lab on our pretesting project. Also, managed to eat exceptionally well on a budget in the Hawker Centres too!

Memory-sky: I'm going to be teaching a new (open!) grad course in the spring, where we read about and implement some memory models (and ideally for them to some small datasets). Looking for suggestions to include! I could go "classic" (Hopfield nets, SAM, TCM, etc.), or "modern" with newer stuff 🤔

Having a great time on a EPS study visit to the National University of Singapore - this cat is permanently chilling outside the Psychology building - many signs saying not to feed him as he’s getting too chonky

Call for teachers to participate in online survey: My dissertation student is exploring the experiences of Additional Support Needs (ASN) teachers on using learning strategies in everyday classrooms. Survey takes 30 minutes and is anonymous. uofg.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_.... Thanks. #edusky

Psychonomics was awesome! Now just gotta fit two musicals into my final afternoon in NYC

Had an amazing time presenting my poster at Psychonomics! A lot of interesting conversations!! I met so many people doing really great research #psynom24 #spacingeffect

Really looking forward to attending Psychonomics for the first time next week! I’d love to talk to anyone interested the #spacing, #testing or #pretesting effects or more generally #memory and #learning at my poster! #Psynom24 @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social

Submitted my first paper today and released it as a preprint! Murray, E., Goebel, S. M., & @aidanhorner.bsky.social (2024). More Steps, Same Effect: Spacing Increases the Retention of Mathematics Procedures of Varying Complexity. doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Maths undergrad into teacher training to teach Maths. Taught for a while then switched to a masters Psychology in Education (conversion course) and now a PhD in Psychology looking at spaced retrieval practice

Gotta love some bread and soup - a healthy 20 cloves of Garlic in the soup with more for the bread

Can highly recommend Aidan’s lab! A great environment to do a PhD!

Great lab, great supervisor (Aidan) and using lots of techniques from behavioural experiments to computational modelling to understand memory… join us!!

Fully funded PhD position to work with me & @jamiecockcroft.bsky.social on the Leverhulme funded project: Boosting long-term memory via environmental structure in virtual reality Funding covers PhD stipend and UK fees. Please email me with a cover letter and CV. #neuroskyence #psychscisky

Official launch of our prejudice modeling competition. -We give you some data, you build a model, and we test it on new data -$2k for winning teams, and authorship for all Sign up and more info here: hehmanlab.org/competition Would appreciate sharing widely! #SocialPsyc #PrejudiceResearch

interviewer: and under goals I see you put down "be Giles from Buffy the vampire slayer"? me: yes interviewer: so, like, a librarian? me (adjusting fake glasses): oh dear, it seems you, uh, misunderstand

Exciting day of memory talks at the Greatest Yorkshire Memory Meeting (GYMM), this year held in Newcastle. First up the amazing @amyatkinson.bsky.social! #psychscisky #neuroskyence #cognition

New pub with @pcarvalho.bsky.social and Faria Sana in Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences, "No Simple Solutions to Complex Problems: Cognitive Science Principles Can Guide but Not Prescribe Educational Decisions" (1/2) journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #psycscisky #edusky

Great talk from @akiraoc.bsky.social yesterday on jamais vu, winning the Ig Nobel award, and who does(n't) enter the psychological "canon". He even has a book out about the latter topic, so get buying and reading! #psychscisky #neuroskyence #cognition

famous moments in psychology / cog-sci as lego sets, a thread. 1. Pavlov's dogs.

A photo with me next to Ebbinghaus' desk, which I saw while at the Würzburg International Autumn School for Lasting Learning seems a great first post here #psychscisky #cogpsyc
