Saw a rainbow over Parker's piece today - an iconic Cambridge image

The opportunities and risks of using AI in assessment of Psychology degrees was debated, dissected, and brainstormed at an inspiring in-person workshop I convened at the British Psychological Society @bpsofficial.bsky.social on Friday, attended by heads of dept and teaching leads across 45 UK unis.

We are pleased to share our report, based on an 18-month research project, exploring the use of AI in assessment of UG psych degrees. It brings together empirical findings on human-AI alignment and reflections from academics, students, and professional services. www.cam.ac.uk/stories/ai-u...

For the next few days we'll be focussing on our amazing keynote speakers! First up, we have Prof Sue Gathercole. This is particularly fitting as Sue was one of the co-founders of ICOM. icom-memory.org

🧠 ICOM is back! The International Conference on Memory (ICOM7) returns 26–30 July 2027 in Glasgow, bringing together researchers from neuroscience, psychology, and beyond. 🔗 Learn more and sign-up for the newsletter here: icom-memory.org #ICOM7 #MemoryResearch #Neuroscience #Psychology

Please see this link for our advert for a fully-funded PhD studentship, "AI-Enhanced Assessment in Higher Education", led by Dr Alex Marcoci and myself, and related to our ai@cam project OpRaise. www.cam-dtp.ac.uk/students/cur...

What value could #AI offer in university assessment and marking? Find out how Dr Deborah Talmi, experimental psychologist at the @campsydept.bsky.social, is leading our AI-deas project to develop a new framework for the role of #AI in #studentevaluation. ➡️ ai.cam.ac.uk/blog/the-fut...

We have an open postdoc position with Rik Henson @rhens.bsky.social and Emily Holmes, at the Emotional Cognition Lab dtalmi.wixsite.com/emotional-co..., @uniofcam.bsky.social to conduct advanced memory modelling. Details here: www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50770/ Apply by 21.4!

Our special issue on the effect of emotion on temporal memory suggests that emotion often increases temporal-order memory, a result that is harder to reconcile with some dominant theories (e.g. the Dual Representation Account), and that it doesn't always serve as an event boundary.

Excited to kickstart this project, which will examine the value of human expertise in academic assessments in the age of AI. @campsydept.bsky.social and multidisciplinarty experts Marcoci, Walker, Fay @uniofcam.bsky.social, Tibon @notts-psych.bsky.social , Abo-Tabik, Benn @manmetuni.bsky.social

Fun xmas outing with my lovely lab - steep learning curve for some, and some hidden talent revealed!

New paper with first-author, newly minted Dr. Delgado-Sanchez, "Test–retest reliability of Bayesian estimations of the effects of stimulation, prior information and individual traits on pain perception" is finally out! doi.org/10.1002/ejp.... #compneuro
