Finally, on Tues., 05/20 at 2:45PM in Pavilion (that's right, the last freakin' night right before a giant party), I will present evidence showing that working memory biases are modulated by recent perceptual history beyond local stimulus properties

On Mon., 05/19 at 8:30AM in Banyan, Dyllan Simpson will argue that stimulus memorability is not intrinsic as commonly claimed, but instead emerges from the relational distinctiveness between items in the studied stimulus set

On Sun., 05/18 at 8:30AM in Banyan, Yang Wang will show us evidence that plotting full datasets in graphs can lead to more accurate interpretations of statistical averages by observers than plotting the averages themselves. CC: @sarahkerns.bsky.social @showmydata.org

Also on Sat., 05/17 at 2:30PM in Visual Memory: General (same session!), new Brady Lab grad student Chattarin "Pun" Poungtubtim will show us how memory adaptively combines item and gist-level information to maximize behavioral precision

On Sat., 05/17 at 2:30PM in Visual Memory: General, former undergrad Anxin Miao will tell us how to predict gist biases in memory APRIORI through independent measurements of memory biases at the level of items and ensembles. CC: @mmrobinson93.bsky.social

On Sat., 05/17 at 8:30AM in Banyan, our awesome undergrad Ben Johnson will tell us why expertise sometimes enhances memory but other times increases source memory confusions

On Sat., 05/17 at 8:30AM in Pavilion, @timbrady.bsky.social will challenge confidence assumptions of dual-process signal detection models & suggest that measuring recollection requires measuring context mem directly. CC: @violastoermer.bsky.social @yonghoonchung.bsky.social @jamalamal.bsky.social

I think this constantly. It’s even less clear for retroactive influences like memory biases. This space seems to exist between “interference” from sensory recruitment and unformalized references to “decision-making”. Seems like both groups should be seeking a common model for both phenomenon…

Trying to min/max your degree for employability will just potentially make you miserable and ruin what could have been one of the best times of your life, and there’s no guarantee it will even work. But otoh you should pick up some basic skills that will be useful while your mind is malleable.
