I am delighted to report that SIDIC, the Symposium for Individual Differences in Cognition, will return in 2025 as a Psychonomics affiliate meeting, & Akira Miyake will deliver the Keynote address. Submissions will open 6/15-8/1; please consider joining us! Info: caliberlab.wixsite.com/sidic2025

🚀Postdoc position @unimarburg.bsky.social in the project: "Bridging the Gap Between Verbal Psychological Theories & Formal Statistical Modeling with Large Language Models" (funded by @volkswagenstiftung.de) 📅Start: 01.10.2025 | ⏳4 years 🔗 Apply now: uni-marburg.de/jhbCen 🔄 Thanks for sharing!

Excellent comment by Oliver Wilhelm, Jasmin Thelen & Florian Schmiedek on a recent paper by Burgoyne et al. (2024) in PB&R: link.springer.com/article/10.3...

@psych.peercommunityin.org is getting ready to launch! This is going to be a major advance for open and transparent psychological science via preprint peer review. Looking for more RECOMMENDERS-- similar role to an AE at traditional journals. Please consider it and share news about the psych PCI!

Excited to share this new preprint of a project I did with Klaus Oberauer 🕺 osf.io/preprints/ps... In this study, we investigated the origin of the retro-cue benefit and observed that performance benefits because the cue protects against memory decay and test-display interference 😎 #workingmemory

Dear WM ECRs across the globe, please consider joining the BEST ONLINE conference ever!

Can removing info from working memory reduce interference or free up capacity? Our new study finds that removal boosts memory by freeing resources—not by reducing interference. chenyuli.bsky.social @gidon-frischkorn.bsky.social koberauer.bsky.social 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Honey, we fixed Signal Detection Theory (SDT)! In this preprint, Constantin Meyer-Grant, David Kellen, Sam Harding, and I critically evaluate the (unequal-variance) Gaussian SDT model in recognition memory and pursue the Gumbel-min model as a principled alternative: doi.org/10.31234/osf... 🧵

The PCI Psychology website is live! psych.peercommunityin.org We're working hard to be ready for launch (planned May 2025) but there's plenty you can do in the meantime to help it along. Go check it out! #psychscisky #scipub

I am looking forward to expanding the scope of my professorship by combining cognitive and statistical modeling with LLMs😊 There will be two job openings for postdoc positions soon - one starting in September 2025 and another one a year later.

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.

time and again

Registration for #ESCOP2025 in Sheffield, UK, opens today at 10 am BST! 📣 The first 50 ECRs (PhD students & postdocs) registering for either of the two 2-day workshops can secure 🤩free accommodation🤩 for the entire ESCOP programme! @escop.bsky.social @sheffielduni.bsky.social @vmloaiza1.bsky.social

The last day to join the team of WMS2025 organizer (July 8-11t)! If you are a postdoc who are passionate about WM research and empowering WM ECRs, don't forget to fill in a very short application (docs.google.com/forms/d/1dfC...) by the end of TODAY (March 16th, last time zone on earth)!

Exciting new work by @chenyuli.bsky.social on the processes involved in complex span performance. Focusing in particular on filtering and removal that are assumed to reduce performance impairments due to processing in complex span task. #workingmemory #cognitivepsycology #bayesianmodelling

We recently updated our preprint that explains how to deal with unidentifiability constraints when measuring participants' decision-making cognition as well as introducing new methods to measure participants' decision-making cognition from brain+behavioral data osf.io/preprints/ps...

It took us some time, but Ven Popov & I finally submitted a revision of our "Tutorial for Estimating Bayesian hierarchical mixture models for visual working memory tasks" osf.io/preprints/ps... In it, we also introduce the Bayesian Measurement Models (bmm) R package: venpopov.github.io/bmm/

Now published in Educational and Psychological Measurement: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I made a starter pack to follow your favorite WomWoMs (Women of Working Memory) go.bsky.app/78fcoth You can ping me to be added!

No one tells you how sweet it is to see your students shine during their 1st conference 🤩 #psynom24 was awesome & now we gotta get these 3 papers on SRL & desirable difficulties out into the world! So lucky to work with @arichmond10.bsky.social @xinranwendywang.bsky.social @serenaluo.bsky.social

Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Frequentist: *takes a deep breath* The probability that the cup is half full given the observed volume of water (or more extreme volumes) is larger than 5% so I cannot reject the null hypothesis that the cup is half full.

There are lots of good talks on the theme “interactions of WM and LTM” in the generically named “Cognition II” session today! Join us at 1:30 pm! #psynom24

With the prices of publishing "Gold Open Access" these days maybe we should rename it "Platinum Exclusive PDF on the internet"

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:...

So much amazing work presented today & tomorrow @ #psynom24 by: Noah Rischert, @sjiang.bsky.social, (obviously) Klaus Oberauer, @chenyuli.bsky.social, @philippmusfeld.bsky.social, @ruhibhanap.bsky.social (x2), Isabel Courage, @joschadutli.bsky.social, and @carohautekiet.bsky.social

It’s happening! 🍳CowanFest Thurs, Nov 21, 9am-4pm Lyceum Complex (next to registration) Nelson Cowan’s keynote at 6:30pm @ncowan51.bsky.social @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social

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!

Make sure to check out these interesting talks & posters at #psynow24
