Save the date for ICOM-7 (aka the Memory Olympics)

Very excited to share the first empirical paper from LEVANTE: we describe the LEVANTE core tasks, a set of nine open source tasks for measuring learning and development in kids ages 5-12 years. osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧵

I wrote a thing on episodic memory and systems consolidation. I hope you all enjoy it and/or find it interesting. A neural state space for episodic memories www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #neuroskyence #psychscisky #cognition 🧪

Excited to share the latest from the lab on the molecular mechanisms of silencing and un-silencing a hippocampal engram ensemble. Was fun using a variant of the EPSILON technique developed by Adam Cohen's lab. (1/2) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A deep dive with Libby Hills and Owen Henkel into why banning and blaming teens about their social media and smartphone use may backfire and, more importantly, prevent us from addressing the root causes of mental health problems among teens today.

The contingency of generalization on memory specificity depends on age and level of abstraction.

🧠 Meet @zoengo.bsky.social, Developmental Psychologist & Principal Investigator at the @mpib-berlin.bsky.social #LEVANTE site.  Here, she explains just how critical cross-disciplinary collaboration is to her research into memory growth. Learn more 🔗 jacobsfoundation.org/levante-welc...

@zoengo.bsky.social, former LIP colleague and now leader of the new Emmy Noether Group RAVEN, is part of the Learning Variability Network Exchange (LEVANTE). Congratulations! 👍 www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/awards/zoe-n...

🚨 We are hiring in Berlin 💫 Me, @zoengo.bsky.social @buchberger.bsky.social and the team are looking a motivated research assistant to contribute to our ongoing study on inference and generalization in 8-14 year olds. See attached advert for details. Feel free to reach out to me directly.

Our paper "Memory reactivation generates new, adaptive behaviours that reach beyond direct experience" is now out www.nature.com/articles/s41...! With Annie Rawson, Jill O’Reilly and Helen Barron at MRC BNDU @ndcnoxford.bsky.social 1/6

Now out in Psychological Review, with Andre Beukers, Maia Hamin, and Jon Cohen: our model of how episodic memory can support performance on the n-back task, "When working memory may just be working, not memory". Free version here: osf.io/preprints/ps... #psychscisky #neuroskyence

Striking case of a patient with medial temporal lobe amnesia. He performs at chance in laboratory recognition memory tests, but has nearly perfect recognition accuracy for a real-world experience, with the memories persisting for 15 months! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New paper by LIP colleagues @buchberger.bsky.social, @zoengo.bsky.social, Aaron Peikert, @brandmaier.bsky.social, & @markuswb.bsky.social out now! #Neuroskyence #PsychSciSky link.springer.com/article/10.3...

It was our pleasure to host @zoengo.bsky.social at our lab meeting last week. She gave a captivating talk on her new mapping review of memory development. Can't wait to see it all come out.

Going to SfN? Come hear my talk during what is sure to be an excellent nanosymposium on "Learning and Memory" Sunday morning 8-11am! WCC 150, NANO19  #SfN2023

Infantile amnesia is due to a reversible retrieval deficit in engram expression - work by my talented labmate Dr. Sarah Power www.science.org/doi/full/10....

🧠📊 We examined longitudinal stability of gray matter measures (cortical thickness, surface area, and volume) across brain regions in ABCD data, also comparing different parcellations. #neurometrics Preprint on OSF: osf.io/rxmn2/ work led by brilliant Sam Parsons

Happy to see our new work out in NatureAging, suggesting that dopaminergic and noradrenergic nuclei relate to different memory types in older adults. Great collaboration with @maramather.bsky.social @markuswb.bsky.social & others from @lipmpib.bsky.social and USC www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Hello Community! The Department of Psychology at San Diego State University invites applications for a developmental scientist at the Assistant Professor level whose research focuses on early attitudes/beliefs about marginalized groups within the context of social justice. #DevSci

Exciting findings on sleep filled delay and age differences in memory generalization from Zoe Ngo. Great kickoff to #ESCOP23

We are hiring!! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25521 TT assistant prof in the developmental science area, focus on ethnic and/or cultural influences on child development and/or the impact of structural racism on child development (broadly construed!) #devpsyc #psychscisky #neuroskyence
