New preprint led by awesome undergrad Abby Bonno! By probing temporal memory for individual items in a sequence, we uncover a 'representational space' of memories that reflects the structure of encoded experiences and provides insight into how different kinds of structure shape memory. osf.io/t5kyx
My lab (u.osu.edu/spal/) and Ken Fujita’s lab (u.osu.edu/fujita/) at OSU are hiring a joint lab manager (a full-time postgraduate researcher) to start this summer!
Come work in two incredibly fun labs in a thriving social psychology department.
Application and more information soon to come!
psych post-bacc jobs are scattered across wikis, twitter/bsky, and random lab sites. hard to find if you're not already in the field.
I started a slack to pool them in one place — a low-effort bulletin board, channels by subfield, updated live!

Can’t believe it’s been about a month since #SAS2026 already! Here are some of my highlights from this year’s conference.
Am grateful to get to share my work & have gotten selected for the Best New Ideas Poster Award! This year was a memorable one and I look forward to the future SAS Conferences!
So it turns out paying people a living wage doesn’t collapse the economy; it’s almost like the rich have been lying to us to maintain their power over our lives.
Happy to see this paper officially published in Cognitive Psychology! A nice collaboration with Yuxuan Zeng and David Osher at OSU. We find face-like holistic processing in non-face stimuli - and Configuration is the answer!

I wrote this article to explain in plain English what is happening with the proposed 2027 NSF budget & why so many social psychologists are alarmed.
THE GOOD NEWS: Congress has not finalized this yet. We have time to change Republican politicians’ minds.

Using this article to shamelessly promote my own work.
Dr. Marsh states that people with psychopathy show "pretty consistent differences in an area of the brain called the amygdala."
My own work shows otherwise.

📢 New Publication Alert at JoPaCS! Many studies use variability as a proxy for flexibility across domains. Using emotion regulation as an example, we show that variability decoupled from context can be harmful volatility. Variability ≠ Flexibility. 🧵 doi.org/10.1037/abn0...
New article from @cientificolatino.com !!!
On the struggles of first year grad students and how to support them 💜
We’re hiring a full-time Research Coordinator in the Preston Lab at UT Austin (start May/June 2026).

Happy to share some of the work done in our lab in this mega-thread of nine (!) papers/preprints (+1 sneak peek) from the last six months. Here goes (in no particular order)! **Please repost** and let me know if you need access to any of the PDFs! #sleeppeeps #sleep #neuroscience 1/12
🎓 Dr. Kristen Lindquist
The Robert K. and Dale J. Weary Endowed Chair in Social Psychology at Ohio State University. Her work has advanced constructionist models of emotion, and shown how affective experiences emerge from distributed brain networks interacting with cultural and social learning
More awards to recognize!! We want to recognize our best poster and flash talk winners, our winners for best paper of the year, and last but not least all our diversity award winners. Such great work going on at SAS! #sas2026
Come check out our symposium on emotional concordance and clinical implications, led by @veravine.bsky.social and @emmailyaz.bsky.social #SAS2026 I will talk about interoception and trust decision-making - work with Kristen Lindquist, @malloryjfeldman.bsky.social @adriennebonar.bsky.social
We only experience time moving forward. But memory can both predict what comes next and reconstruct what must have happened before.
In a new @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social preprint, we show how hippocampal development enables this flexible representation of time 🧵
So excited for the Rutgers Child Study Center to roll deep at the 2026 @affectscience.bsky.social conference later this week! Here's a guide on where to find us and when! Hope to see you there! 🤩 #SAS2026
Come check out the fun Friday morning AI empathy symposium led by @gregdepow.bsky.social & Leif Anderson @affectscience.bsky.social #SAS2026. I'll be talking about empathy choice for AI empathy work with @jdweng.bsky.social @minzlicht.bsky.social, and why recipient experiences matter for this debate
Looking forward to the interesting conversations to come at SAS 2026!
We're excited about SAS 2026! Mark your calendars to check out our lab's latest work.
Beginning with the Thursday preconferences, we have two lab members presenting at the Dev Precon and the Clinical Precon!
