I am delighted that I’ll be joining Boston University’s dept. of psychological and brain sciences as an assistant professor in July 2025!

I’ll be recruiting Ph.D. students and hiring a lab manager to start alongside me — see here for more info: https://t.co/xLG8p0cZaT

This study is one of the first to examine free recall of a factually verifiable, naturalistic experience in children, accounting for verbal skills, event cognition, and prompted memory. We suggest all of these cognitive factors relate to and support recall memory development. 7/7

🚨 New pre-print on free recall of naturalistic events in young children! 🚨 🧒📺🐒

With co-authors Obinnaya Onwukanjo, @ingrids_brain, @NoraNewcombe.

[Susan Benear @SusanLBenear]

In a hierarchical analysis, we found that event cognition and verbal skills each accounted for significant variance in free recall level of detail for children, suggesting these abilities are crucial to successfully recalling memories as a verbal narrative without cues 🗣️🎙️📖 6/7

[Kate Nussenbaum @katenuss]

New preprint! Here, we examine how the specificity of learning computations adapts to the reward structure of the environment and influences memory across development.

Read on for more details. 🧵⬇️
