Six scholars w/ slightly diff perspectives on eyewitness identification evidence still found much to agree on & highlight suggestions for future research.

Why do some ideas spread widely, while others fail to catch on? Our new review paper on the PSYCHOLOGY OF VIRALITY is now out in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social (it was led by @steverathje.bsky.social) Read the full paper here: www.cell.com/trends/cogni...

Memory problems will change how you see the world...literally 👀 Across two new papers, we examined the eye movement patterns of younger adults, older adults, individuals with mild cognitive impairment, and amnesic cases. 1/5

It's that time of year when many start thinking about applying for PhDs. If you're applying for a UK PhD position, here is a blog post I wrote a while back that might be helpful #cognition #psychscisky #neuroskyence #psychjobs

Brilliant @thepaperbirds.bsky.social are creating '48 Thoughts Per Minute', an artistic look at what it's like inside your head. I chatted recently with the wonderful creative team about thoughts, beliefs & memory errors. See their convo starter @warwickpsych.bsky.social vimeo.com/1088018524?f...

Does “being authentic” mean always sticking to your “true self”? Pop culture suggests this but our identities constantly shift. Laura Visu-Petra (Babeș-Bolyai Uni) & PhD student Lexi Bulbuc (BBU & Uni of Warwick) explain how identity flexibility can be a gift and curse. @warwickpsych.bsky.social

🚨 Just published! Our case study on the ICTR reveals how cultural background shapes courtroom communication. Witnesses from non-WEIRD contexts often gave indirect responses, easily misinterpreted as unclear or evasive by legal professionals @anneliesvrede.bsky.social doi.org/10.1108/JCP-...

A very important paper led by the phenomenal @lucy-h-butler.bsky.social Say it with me: Corrections. Of. Scientific. Misinformation. Are. Effective. @lewan.bsky.social @profsanderlinden.bsky.social @lkfazio.bsky.social @tobyprike.bsky.social @brionyswire.bsky.social @emilyspearing.bsky.social

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

Ok, remember a few days ago when I said that my friends/colleagues are badass and to look forward to good stuff coming later this week... First up is @dannagal.bsky.social with this devastating, beautiful & deeply personal takedown of the MAHA movement. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/o...

The Teaching About Research in Memory & Cognition #sarmac2025 @officialsarmac.bsky.social was full of good examples of how to get students to engage E-portfolios puzzle boxes, using mobile phone tech learning to learn, to public science communication. Thanks for organising @drrobnash.bsky.social‬

Registered for SARMAC 2025 today! Three fascinating keynotes, two great workshops and some Irish-y social events to relax(??) at after hours 🇮🇪 @gillian-murphy.bsky.social & @ciaragreene.bsky.social are working so damn hard (on top of their wildly busy day jobs!) Legends! ❤️

In 2023 @gillian-murphy.bsky.social et al replicated the "lost in the shopping mall" false memory study. A robust replication that increased the original N fivefold.Critics say only 4% of Ss actually developed false memories. Even if that were true, 4% matters onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

If you haven't registered for this event yet (happening in just 2 weeks!) it only takes a second: click on the link, then scroll down to the the large "REGISTER HERE" :) there will be plenty of time for questions, and you can even send them in ahead of time! #PsychSciSky

A wonderfully kind gesture from a student today. The student has *no* idea how much I adore home baked goodies (and how much this affects my whole outlook on teaching at the end of term... at least today. Ha!). My kids won't even get a look at these babies! Nom nom! 🥰😋

Great set of people to work with. If you’re interested in addressing the problems with disinformation and the flow of unreliable information, this would be an amazing opportunity.

Come join us - and get to hang out with the fun folks! Fixed-term, Senior Teaching Associate position available (.8 FTE) #academicjobs #psychjobs #psychology hr-jobs.lancs.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx...
