用上真无线耳机第三天，刚才学单词被声波震得左耳痒痒，随手一扒拉习惯性等着左耳耳机被耳机线拽着自然下垂，结果它啪嗒一下掉桌子底下了。

New 2-year research position available!

Are you a post-doc in working memory looking to develop your career?

Amy Atkinson is recruiting a Senior Research Associate for a new ESRC project, “Working memory and its relation to outcomes in the real world”. It's a unique opportunity to examine the relationship between working memory and a range of real-world outcomes in data from thousands of participants.

Working Memory Symposium

The schedule and program (nb. nothing to do with me directly - just broadcasting this message on a topic close to my heart) is now live at

https://wmsymposium.org/program!

"We have 69 wonderful talks by early-career scientists on their current working memory projects, lined up over what will be a fun-filled four days – see you soon!"

Call for psychology papers! Please Boost!

Exciting special issue information about #WorkingMemory now official! @qjep in 2024 will be celebrating and reflecting on *50 years* of research exploring the Baddeley & Hitch framework!

So come bring your latest innovative WM research data to the party!

Deadline for letters of intent: 15 September 2023
(planning a Registered Report? Then get in touch sooner to to start the ball rolling)

Very excited that my first paper with Alessandra Souza and Klaus Oberauer is now published in @PNASNews

We investigated the mechanisms underlying repetition learning as a model system for the interaction between #workingMemory and #longTermMemory. By using a Bayesian hierarchical mixture modeling approach to model learning curves on the individual level, we reveal misconceptions in current theories which resulted from aggregating data over individuals.

The question was answered, and what Sue’s research has revealed about working memory, ADHD and Autism is certainly thought-provoking

I felt disappointed, though, after hearing radical views from this morning’s panel of neurodivergent educators (Pete Wharmby, @ferrous and Elliot Spaeth), that her proposed interventions were basically more of the same trying to fit struggling children into a system that wasn’t built for them 😕

#education #neurodiversity #WorkingMemory #ADHD #Autism #itakom

Sue has shown summary data showing that both Maths and English scores in English National Curriculum level 2 testing correlate with working memory capacity

Not clear whether these summary data apply across different neurotypes

Now going on to relate this to ADHD though (in relation to children’s struggles with working memory in the classroom) – so perhaps my question will be answered

The final keynote of #itakom has just started

Sue Gathercole is talking about ‘The transdiagnostic future of neurodiversity research’, beginning with a worked example of working memory

Online phase-corrected #tACS enables one to both up- and down-regulate brain #oscillations within a short period; using such a system, this study shows that parietal #alpha oscillations have causal effects on #WorkingMemory retention #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/415aSAy

We developed a mouse-tracking approach to quantify internal representations from behavior at millisecond temporal resolution.

Measuring the *dynamic trajectory* during object reconstruction, we studied mental search over representational space.

Hookmark with link-friendly software is an antidote to limitations of human #workingmemory. Those who understand this will want at least to assess my claim. Reading the rationale of the Manifesto for Ubiquitous #Linking may help: https://linkingmanifesto.org/motivation/

More generally, the software combo extends what Prof. Merlin Donald called short-term control, and intermediate governance, which are two of 3 major forms of human #consciousness he identified. I trust you will enjoy the boost 😉

Interesting that first it says WMC can be improved, but when prompted is also able to describe limits of the training literature.

#introduction
I am a postdoc at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, working with Tim Buschman and my brilliant lab mates on transformational geometry in the brain. We ask what are various classes of transformations brains utilize to compute for different tasks, in different contexts and with different objectives. Our main tools consist of linear algebra, differential geometry and group theory. 📐

Hi! I'm a cog psychologist at the Uni of Sheffield, UK, investigating individual differences in cog abilities and how they change (or even improve?!) through experience, using methods from experimental and differential cog psy, & sometimes cog neuro and comp modelling.

A major current project in our lab is a multi-site processing speed training study across the adult life-span using drift-diffusion modelling, so stay tuned!
