I am pleased to share that "the bird study" is now accepted at Psychology and Aging! A great collaboration with visiting intern Kishen Senziani, @leabartsch.bsky.social & @edamizrak.bsky.social 😀 Check out the pre-print below and a short thread on the study design and main takeaways 🧵👇

Hey #memory folks, check out this new preprint by @joschadutli.bsky.social , @koberauer.bsky.social, and @leabartsch.bsky.social showing that elaboration benefits are likely driven by aiding in establishing efficient retrieval cues.

😎Check out this new paper by my brilliant phd student Ana Rodriguez! Together with @philippmusfeld.bsky.social we investigated how prior knowledge contributes to a serial recall #workingmemory task!

🚨 PostDoc Opening 🚨 The lab of Klaus Oberauer is looking for a new postdoc, starting end of this/beginning next year. Research focus is #cognition, #workingmemory, #methods and #computationalmodeling or anything in that direction. I cannot highlight ENOUGH how great it is to work in this lab 🥰🤓

PCI Psychology is here!! 🎉🥳 After over a year of hard work by so many people, we are thrilled to announce that we are open for submissions! Join us in making publishing more efficient, equitable, and open: psych.peercommunityin.org #PsychSciSky #scipub

It has been so exciting to see everything coming together for ESCOP 2025, which will be here before you know it! Are you aware that applications for family care grants and travel funding for PhD students is still available? Please have a look at this link and make sure to apply by 30th June!

“The gender-equality paradox entails that countries with more equality have larger gender differences in behavior. Positive associations between equality & gender differences disappear or reverse when accounting for cultural clusters of countries. The paradox appears to be a methodological artifact”

New Preprint with @edamizrak.bsky.social! Performance in immediate memory tasks reflects a flexible mixture of contributions of #workingmemory and LTM. Distraction disrupts WM, while PI impairs retrieval from LTM; when both are in play, performance depends on the relative reliability of each system

Abstract submission is now open for WMS2025 (Deadline: May 31st)! Working memory ECRs, we look forward to receiving your submissions!!! wmsymposium.org

📣 ESCoP Family Care Grants You can apply for the Family Care Grants for the upcoming conference! The grants aim to support attendees facing additional family care expenses arising from participation in the conference. Application deadline: 15 May 2025

⏳⏰🧠 Tic-toc, it’s research o’clock! In today’s lab meeting, our teammate Ruiheng Zhang shared her latest work on how free time affects working memory. With some early results already on the table, it seems future insights are just a matter of time… we’ll definitely be sticking around for seconds!🧠⏰⏳

Finally, Ven Popov's & my paper introducing the Bayesian Measurement Models (bmm: venpopov.github.io/bmm/) R package is published in Behavior Research Methods: rdcu.be/ehKtv In the paper we show how to use bmm for fitting mixture models for visual #workingmemory tasks.

Happy to share that this work is now (finally) published in JEP:HPP 🕺 psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

‼️And another one, examining strategic prioritization in #workingmemory

Did you ever wonder how much you can trust your Bayes Factor estimates? Klaus Oberauer, @frederikaust.com and I did and investigated variance, bias, and computational costs for estimating Bayes Factors via bridgesampling and the Savage-Dickey density ratio. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Very honored to have been awarded the ESCoP Early Career Publication Award! Very much looking forward to the next @escop.bsky.social meeting in Sheffield this year.

Ever wondered why only some memories 🧠 come easily? Our latest work (osf.io/preprints/ps...) led by S. Haridi, with @ericschulz.bsky.social, shows that targeted memory retrieval speeds up with precise semantic and temporal retrieval cues. Hence, crafting cues can give you instant access to memories⚡

I’ll be recruiting PhD students for next year. My research spans a range of domains, and I’m looking for highly motivated students with a strong interest in applying mathematical approaches (modeling and analysis) to understanding human cognition. warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/psyc...

I am so proud of the Psychometric Society having the courage to transition Psychometrika to Open Access. Practically all APCs are covered by TAs (see bit.ly/3NiAy6T) and for authors not covered will be waived! Support open science for everybody, send your best work to Psychometrika at bit.ly/4eXTvYp

OK, here is a very rough draft of a tutorial for #Bayesian #SEM using #brms for #rstats. It needs work, polish, has a lot of questions in it, and I need to add a references section. But, I think a lot of folk will find this useful, so.... jebyrnes.github.io/bayesian_sem... (use issues for comments!)

Few people have been as influential in my career as Jonathan Grainger. As a post-doc he gave me a lot of freedom to develop my own research, and he created an exceptionally positive atmosphere, always doing his rounds to see how everyone was doing and genuinely interested in the tiniest things. 🧵1/2

Mark's done an amazing service by compiling the different psychology-related starter packs in this thread:

Hi #psychometrics folks, I took a first shot at creating a feed collecting posts focussing on psychological measurement & methods related things. If you have suggestions, how to optimize the feed, please contact me with suggestions! bsky.app/profile/did:...

I want to draw attention to a special issue that Lila Davachi and I put together to memorialize our friend and colleague Sarah DuBrow. It’s full of papers inspired by her work and her being from a group of collaborators, friends, and fans! Thanks @bradpostle.bsky.social for helping make this happen.

On Saturday, November 23, @ruhibhanap.bsky.social will start with a talk in Cognition II at 2:10 - 2:30 PM and tell us how Working memory and long-term memory interact in guiding attention. With @leabartsch.bsky.social.

❤️ I am loving this thread on all the presentations from our lab ! Go check it out. and to all our lab members: have fun and enjoy your time! 😎 you are awesome 😎

For everyone interested in #workingmemory at #psynom24 check out the posters by the excellent grad students working with me! @chenyuli.bsky.social has a poster on removal in WM on Friday (6pm), and Isabel Courage's poster on Saturday (6pm) compares declarative & procedural representations in WM.

The ADAM lab will be at #opam and Psychonomics #psynom24! @olgakozlova.bsky.social has a talk on goal setting + WM, friend-of-the-lab @philippmusfeld.bsky.social has a poster on the effect of long-term learning on neural WM representations, and I have a talk on behavioral signatures LTM + WM!

Not super recent, but I still want to make some advertisement for this work of mine. Together with Klaus Oberauer, I combined experimental manipulations with psychometrics to investigate what processes the manual anti-saccade task meausures.

So sad to be missing #psynom24 🗽 this year, but my colleagues and grad students (ruhibhanap.bsky.social, joschadutli.bsky.social & Noah Rischert) present a lot of our research on elaboration, refreshing, working and long-term memory, so go check it out if you can ! #workingmemory

A great set of articles in Mem & Cog on the interaction between WM & LTM. Thanks to the Eds for pulling it together! My group has a couple in the collection, on visuospatial bootstrapping - link.springer.com/article/10.3... and value-directed prioritisation - link.springer.com/article/10.3...

I'm so excited to read this special issue on interactions of working & long-term memory! My article with @zhaochong.bsky.social and Ed Vogel is linked here, and I'll also be giving a talk on this paper at Psychonomics! #psynom24 link.springer.com/article/10.3...

The Special Issue on "the information exchange between working memory & long-term memory" at Memory & Cognition which I had the pleasure to Co-Edit with @keisukefukuda.bsky.social,@vmloaiza1.bsky.social and @edamizrak.bsky.social is out now! rdcu.be/d0GjA #workingmemory #cogSci #Psychology #psynom24
