In meiner letzten Statistik Vorlesung wurde ich heute ganz überraschend von den Studierenden und der Abteilung verabschiedet. Danke für die tolle gemeinsame Zeit! Ich nehme viele schöne Erinnerungen mit von der @unitrier.bsky.social.

Warm invitation to our career workshop: writing DFG applications (Erstantrag/Eigene Stelle/Sachbeihilfe) When: Friday, Feb 27th 2026, 11am–2pm Where: Zoom A registration by February 20th is required, more information were sent out via the DGPs' mailing list. (The workshop will be held in German.)

'to treat peer review as a throughput problem is to misunderstand what is at stake. Review is not simply a production stage in the research pipeline; it is one of the few remaining spaces where the scientific community talks to itself.' 1/3

An der UTN Nürnberg ist eine Stelle als Studienkoordinator*in für Kinder- und neurokognitive Forschung ausgeschrieben. Details hier: www.utn.de/karriere/ste... - ich starte ebenfalls dort ab April 🙂

New post: replicating Loftus and Palmer at scale. rolfzwaan.substack.com/p/memory-mis...

Happy to share that our shared first-author paper with @febedemeyer.bsky.social is now published open access in @jcgntn.bsky.social 🔗 bit.ly/4bt2D8Q We developed and administered an open-source cognitive control test battery with often used tasks (bit.ly/4ql9gyP) in 247 students. Key insights in 🧵

still one of the best explanations of principal component analysis (pca), explained at different levels from layman to the more math inclined stats.stackexchange.com/a/140579/132...

Just kicked off the Kyiv Winter School of Memory 2026 with over 70 participants of different universities in Ukraine. So rewarding to see this slightly crazy idea become a reality. Thanks to @linniplidot.bsky.social and Karine Malysheva (National University of Kyiv) for organising this with me.

Türchen 17/24 🧑🏻‍🍼 Heute stellen wir euch (ParenThesis) vor! Der Blog schafft Sichtbarkeit für die Probleme von Eltern in der Wissenschaft, stellt Lösungen vor und leistet damit einen hilfreichen Beitrag. #karriere #elterninderwissenschaft #parenthesis #blog #worklifebalance

New paper in Psych Review on a model of false recognition in Deese-Roediger-McDermott DRM task. Not just recognition responses, but also associated RTs! And not just the semantic task, but also the structural task - where words overlap in orthography/phonology! A thread!

Türchen 4/24 🧑‍🎄 Heute möchten wir euch auf unsere Projekte, Programme und Angebote insbesondere zur Nachwuchsförderung aufmerksam machen. Hier der Link 🔗 www.dgps.de/fachgruppen/... #nachwuchsförderung #dgps #psychologie #angebote #förderung

Looking forward to more inspiring sessions ahead! Next one on January 30th at noon, 12 pm, with Magdalena Abel, who will introduce her newly established chair at the UTN, the Technical University of Nuremberg. We hope many of you will join again.

✨ Heute stellen wir unsere Fachgruppe Allgemeine Psychologie vor! Sie erforscht Grundlagen wie Wahrnehmung, Denken & Gedächtnis ➡️ Fundament für viele psychologische Disziplinen. Die Fachgruppe ist auch auf Bluesky 👉 @dgps-fgal.bsky.social sky.social Mehr: dgps.de/fachgruppen/allgemeine-psychologie

🎉 Start unserer Vorstellungsreihe der DGPs-Fachgruppen! Den Anfang macht die FG Geschichte der Psychologie.

New paper published: Having free choice over what to learn improves memory, even in the presence of distraction. Across two experiments, free choice selectively enhanced recognition for relevant, but not irrelevant items. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

It can take weeks to write a grant proposal, so how would it feel to have a machine reject it in seconds? go.nature.com/42hLWrv

The Young Scientist Retreat is the perfect event to get to know fellow PhD students and postdocs working in biopsychology and related fields. I highly recommend it! 👐

Looking at Van Gogh’s Starry Night, we see not only its content (a French village beneath a night sky) but also its *style*. How does that work? How do we see style? In @nathumbehav.nature.com, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & I take an experimental approach to style perception! osf.io/preprints/ps...

After you fall asleep in the sleep lab, we can decide what you dream about — as Karen Konkoly showed in her PhD work and just published in this new paper: “Investigating dreams by strategically presenting sounds during REM sleep to reactivate waking experiences” authors.elsevier.com/c/1lWFU6TBG5...

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

If you haven't been looking recently at the Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science (oecs.mit.edu), here's your reminder that we are a free, open access resource for learning about the science of mind. Today we are launching our new Thematic Collections to organize our growing set of articles!

First post on Bluesky! Check out our new paper (w/ @abclab.bsky.social @brognition.bsky.social) in Nature Communications @natcomms.bsky.social (featured in Editors' Highlights🌟)! We investigated how attention operates differently within WM and LTM: www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/6)

Sharing a new paper from the lab. This paper, led by Sangyoon Ko, represents a merging of two longstanding research themes in the lab-- adult neurogenesis and systems consolidation. rdcu.be/el18q A short thread follows for those interested. 1/n

Episode II of how are durations stored in working memory: Besides replicating our previous findings, we find that alpha power reflects a universal signature of WM load and mediates recall precision, even for abstract information like duration www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🔽 co-authors below

Still time to apply! 🎉 (and to become a DGPA member, if you're not already)

How do we build more #retrievalpractice into our lessons? On the podcast, Dr. Pooja Agarwal (@retrievelearn.bsky.social), Dr. Janell Blunt, and Dr. Michelle Rivers share nine simple, easy, fun retrieval strategies that can be added to any lesson. www.cultofpedagogy.com/retrieval-in...

Congratulations to @linushof.bsky.social from our lab @tum.de for being the runner-up at this year’s #teap2025 poster competition! His research shows that people search adaptively in decisions from experience.
