What is the true range of mental imagery? https://t.co/7Qlnti0gho from @sampendu. I'd call myself an associator - I don't "see" faces when I think of them, they're not in my visual field, but I get a visual impression. It's not purely knowledge.

[Helgi Clayton McClure @HelgiYSJ]

@WithrowCPNewell @jes_hooper @PostdocVoice Yeah, in a UK context this would include post-92s, which are more likely to actively value diversity of background / experience and probably links outside academia. Though you may be applying to these already (just assuming from Exeter that you might be aiming for Russell Group)

Researchers - a family of an autistic child with language difficulties got in touch asking if we had any research projects they could take part in, but we don’t have any projects for autistic kids at the mo! If anyone has projects let me know and I’ll direct the fam to you.

We're hiring ! #PhD-position to study why some people tend to diminish positive emotions through dampening thoughts, like 'These positive feelings won’t last '. Dampening is implicated in various forms of psychopathology, particularly #depression.

@kaitlynmwerner PS apologies if less relevant to clinical programme. I had assumed PhD!

[Helgi Clayton McClure @HelgiYSJ]

@kaitlynmwerner Get into some relevant literature, without putting pressure on yourself to process/master/systematise too soon. Also take advice from anyone 1 or 2 years ahead in your topic area and/or institution. Also, never produce a Gantt chart! 😂

Could be a big time-saver, but also very interesting in terms of considering how private mental experiences may be articulated in language.

Just out in PLOS One: Compared to controls, those completing positive simulation training subsequently showed a stronger implicit expectation that negative events would not happen to them. @ysjpsych @HULLPSY @JulieLinJi @Blackwell_SE https://t.co/WNaqUVh19A
