Time for personal updates: I successfully defended my PhD last week (huuuge thanks to my committee + labmates + community) and I’ll be joining @s-michelmann.bsky.social ‘s lab as a postdoc this summer. It has been six wonderful years here at UChi thanks to everyone :) See you all in NYC!

Many claim memory biases toward percepts reflect corruption in sensory signals. We challenge this view by showing that ppl adapt their integration rationally w/ experience. w/ @timbrady.bsky.social

Distributed and drifting signals for working memory load in human cortex Increasing working memory (WM) load incurs behavioral costs, and whether the neural constraints on behavioral costs are localized (i.e., emanating from the intraparietal sulcus) or distributed across ...

Item-based Parsing of Dynamic Scenes in a Combined Attentional Tracking and Working Memory Task Abstract. Human visual processing is limited—we can only track a few moving objects at a time and store a few items in visual working memory (WM). A shared mechanism that may underlie these performanc...

How does the visual system track moving objects while remembering the color of those objects? My latest research article (co-first with Piotr @styrkowiec.bsky.social) exploring this question using EEG is out in JoCN! @jocn.bsky.social #workingmemory #cognition #cogneuro #cogsci #neuro

Interestingly, midfrontal theta power could tell errors apart (Hit < Miss, FA < CR) regardless of whether images were learned before. Therefore, we proposed that our brain detects memory-based errors with ERN, and general recognition errors with midfrontal theta power. 3/3

First, error-related negativity (ERN) could tell whether our brain made a recognition error or not: but only for images that were learned (i.e. hits versus misses). It couldn't tell false alarms and correct rejections apart even though FAs were also errors. 2/3

🚨NEW paper alert at JEP:G: when we're making recognition memory decisions, are we aware of our recognition errors? The answer is YES (with two error detection systems for different purposes): (w/ Geoff Woodman & @keisukefukuda.bsky.social ) psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-... 1/3

Working memory and attentional control abilities predict individual differences in visual long-term memory tasks Working memory predicts cognitive abilities like fluid intelligence (gF) and source memory. This suggests these abilities depend on working memory and…

In Study 4, we generalized our findings from WM to AC with the inclusion of Square tasks (by Engle lab), change localization task and filtering change localization task (used in our lab). Click on this to see more: sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... 5/5

In Study 3, we kept the presentation time at 250ms but gave participants a longer ISI, and we observed that the WM-LTM relationship as we saw in Study 1. This suggested that WM matters to LTM if people get more time to form spatio-temporal binding (during ISI). 4/5

However, in Study 2, if we speed up the presentation rate of the recognition memory task (250ms/image), WM stopped predicting recognition memory differences. This suggests that WM affects the formation of spatio-temporal binding of items formed only with slower presentation rates. 3/5

In Study 1, we found that working memory correlated with simple recognition memory when the images were presented slowly (3 seconds per image). The correlation holds even we regressed out source memory differences, suggesting that WM generally predicts LTM abilities. 2/5

New paper out at Journal of Memory and Language! We knew that individual differences in working memory predict source memory, but did it predict simple item recognition memory (that relied on less attention resources than source memory)? Our answer is: YES! (with @edvogel.bsky.social ) 1/5

Tonight 5-7 PM I’ll be presenting my poster at CNS @cogneuronews.bsky.social C46: “Repetition learning produces stronger and faster recollection during recognition” Don’t miss it if you’re interested in EEG and visual long-term memory! #CNS2025

Remember what your partner said during a heated argument? Or the rush of getting your first job offer? Why do these emotionally arousing moments stick? Across 3 studies, and 3 arousal measures, we found that emotional arousal enhances memory encoding by promoting functional integration in the 🧠 1/🧵

Attention here! We found ind. diff. & fMRI evidence that sustained attention is more closely related to long term memory than to attentional control. With the best team @monicarosenb.bsky.social @edvogel.bsky.social @annacorriveau.bsky.social @jinke.bsky.social

Thank uuuuu Kirsten!!!

Across 5 experiments, we found that working memory and attentional control (WMAC) ability continued to predict long-term memory (LTM) performance even after participants showed significant learning. Huge thanks to my advisor Dr. Ed Vogel!

New paper out now in JEP:G.

"Individual differences in working memory and attentional control continue to predict memory performance despite extensive learning."
