I was an avid hiker, so I assumed that a marginal increase in my speed wouldn’t pose too much of a challenge. The bruises on my hands and legs served as stark reminders of my naiveté. However, despite the rocky start (pun intended), I gradually learned how to […] Continue Reading Mental Rotation content-entry.phpClearing lines and myths: Tetris does not improve mental rotation BY Daniel Pfaff | April 30, 2024 | No Comments Other Posts By Daniel Pfaff How old were you when you first played Tetris? The famous puzzle game of fitting together block shapes has been ubiquitous in arcades, tablets, and smartphones for decades, earning its place as one of the best-selling video games of all time. I had Tetris on my iPod Touch, but different versions of the game are […] Continue Reading Learning and Memory content-entry.phpGolden habits and clever methods BY Jonathan Caballero | April 23, 2024 | No Comments Other Posts By Jonathan Caballero Habits can be great for you, such as flossing consistently to preserve oral health, or they can rather be a problem, such as smoking, or something I struggle with from time to time: doomscrolling. I think part of the reason I sometimes get caught in the loop of scrolling endlessly is that I actually get […] Continue Reading Decision Making Judgement content-entry.phpMay the odds be ever in your favor! Probability and possibility in close counterfactuals BY Daniel Pfaff | April 9, 2024 | No Comments Other Posts By Daniel Pfaff My grandmother loved to play the odds, and she shared this love with her grandchildren. Every holiday season, she would distribute a slate of scratchers to her grandkids to try their luck. With a borrowed penny in hand, I’d scratch slowly, letting the suspense build after every revealed shape or letter until the eventual loss. […] Continue Reading Attention Change Detection content-entry.phpNow you don’t see me, and now you still don’t see me: Detecting movie skips using a flicker paradigm BY Melinh K. Lai | April 3, 2024 | No Comments Other Posts By Melinh K. Lai In the past I’ve been accused of various forms of laziness—not taking advantage of a beautiful day, whiling away my childhood, not studying for my next test, whiling away my adolescence, not writing my dissertation, whiling away my 20s, 30s, etc.—when really I’ve been hard at work watching TV and movies. That the optimal method […] Continue Reading Statistics and Methodology content-entry.phpPrioritizing inclusivity does not sacrifice reliability BY Hannah Mechtenberg | April 2, 2024 | No Comments Other Posts By Hannah Mechtenberg When I first dove into research at my current laboratory, I inherited a grab bag of R code snippets, shell scripts, tasks, paradigms, and measures. I’m sure I am not alone in this experience. Using existing tools and frameworks in research is common practice—it’s often more efficient and can yield better outcomes than building everything […] Continue Reading Embodied Cognition content-entry.phpWhen all things are equal, planning matters BY Heather Manitzas Hill | March 28, 2024 | No Comments Other Posts By Heather Manitzas Hill I had the pleasure of attending the annual meeting for the Psychonomic Society this year in the beautiful city of San Francisco where the early days of gay rights played out due to the actions and commitment of the courageous Harvey Milk, activist and politician for gay rights. With this context in mind, I experienced […] Continue Reading Aging Associative Learning Learning and Memory content-entry.phpDoes our memory always get worse as we age? New evidence suggests not necessarily BY Hannah Mechtenberg | February 13, 2024 | No Comments Other Posts By Hannah Mechtenberg I have played sports my whole life—swimming, tennis, basketball, track, cycling, fencing, soccer—you name it, I have probably tried it. Even though I loved working hard and competing, I still remember boys snidely remarking, Girls can’t play sports” or You run like such a girl!” I tried not to listen, but I would be lying if […] Continue Reading Eyewitness Identification Learning and Memory content-entry.phpDoes she remember differently than he? Gendered differences in eyewitness memory BY Daniel Pfaff | February 6, 2024 | 1 Comment Other Posts By Daniel Pfaff Have you ever found yourself struggling to remember your babysitter’s name from childhood? Or what about remembering if you ate a full meal before 8 PM? If you’re anything like me, some details are often discarded immediately from memory, but others are sometimes weirdly retained for years. Some days, I can remember the cool jacket […] Continue Reading Learning and Memory Prospective Memory content-entry.phpUnsweet memories and unclear visions BY Jonathan Caballero | January 31, 2024 | No Comments Other Posts By Jonathan Caballero Do you remember your prom? Do you remember your 16th birthday? Do you remember your first day of school? People usually have detailed memories of important autobiographical events. These events are usually represented in memory as being tied to a specific context and a specific moment in time. But, this specificity in recall is not […] Continue Reading 1 2 3 … 75 Next » Follow Us Search for: Search Categories Categories Select Category Aging Animal Learning & Cognition Annual Meeting Applied Cognition Artificial Intelligence Attention Automatic Processing Change Detection Divided Attention Features and Objects Selective Attention Visual Search Behavioral Changes Brain Injuries Categorization Cognitive Aging Cognitive Control Cognitive Development Collective Memory Conciousness Creativity Decision Making Models of Decision Making Digital Event Emotion and Cognition Experts and Expertise Explanations Face Recognition Happiness Implicit Processes Individual Differences Interview Judgement Language Processes Bilingualism Discourse Processes Evolution of Language Language Production/Writing Letter/Word Processing Meaning/Semantics Psycholinguistics Reading Speech Perception Learning and Memory Associative Learning Autobiographical Memory Cognition and Technology Cognitive Skill Acquisition Collaborative Memory Eyewitness Identification False Memory Human Learning and Instruction Implicit Memory Metamemory and Metacognition Models of Memory Prospective Memory Recall Recognition Working Memory Mental Rotation Music Cognition Numerical Cognition Physiological Measures Podcast Reasoning/ Problem Solving Reward and Motivation Scientific Practice Sensation and Perception Audition Embodied Cognition Motion Perception Motor control Multisensory Integration Perceptual Organization Picture Processing Psychophysics Touch, Taste and Smell Vision Society Matters Spatial Cognition Statistics and Methodology Uncategorized Meta-Data (Visible if Admin) Log in Entries feed Comments feed WordPress.org NULL 8735 W.
