I adore shepherding students through their first papers. We discuss academic norms for how to argue, write, and edit. Posting one big norm that newbies need to hear:
Knowing that Graham Hitch was a drummer in a rock band, I asked if their idea to call it the phonological loop was inspired by the use of tape loops in psychedelic rock in the 60s. Graham said no, but they did have liquid light shows for their gigs. “The hippies loved it!” Haha
Amazing dinner company and conversation with Allen Baddeley and Graham Hitch! Toasting the 50th Anniversary of their famous paper and Allen’s 90th birthday!
Great times celebrating the 50th anniversary of the publication of Baddeley and Hitch’s multi component model of working memory at the International Conference on Working Memory in Leeds. #icwm#icwm2024
Bob Logie wrote a poem for it 🥳 https://t.co/0R5sSI8G4l
Great preregistered Masters Thesis work by Chenlingxi Xu and collaboration with Postdoctoral Fellow Chang-Mao Chao. Big thanks to our participants, research assistants, and the National Science Foundation’s SBE CogNeuro program for funding this basic research! #NSFFunded

Yes! Dividing young adults’ attention while they’re trying to maintain to be remembered information causes them to behave like older adults in many ways!

Regular reminder. As an academic, student, postdoc, or professor, you accept less pay and more stress. It is only worth doing if what you do truly matters. Do that high-risk project. Because the boring project does not justify the downsides of academia. For the love of ideas.

How does the mind and brain retain and help us act on all of our intentions? Our paper on “autonomic prospective memory encoding” is out now. I’m grateful for the two PhD students who helped with this project! https://t.co/ctnm4CEHyT
