Hot off the press! I had the opportunity to examine episodic memory and hippocampal connectivity in remote TBI over the last couple of semesters.
It was such a wonderful experience to work alongside these folks in the Hillary Lab 😀

[Cat Carpenter, M.S. @ccarpenter_15]

happy halloween from the CAN Lab! Perceptual and associative false memories were the scariest thing in lab today 👻 🎃 @lukedubec @Rebecca_Wagner0 @Alexa__Becker

[Cat Carpenter, M.S. @ccarpenter_15]

@IndiraTurney @NIH @NIHAging Congrats Indira!!

[Cat Carpenter, M.S. @ccarpenter_15]

speaking of unitization..
I had so much fun presenting our current research in a flash talk yesterday as a part of the Penn State Aging Research & Training Colloquium! Thank you to all of the organizers 😀 #agingresearch

[Cat Carpenter, M.S. @ccarpenter_15]

@PSUCogAgingLab @Alexa__Becker and I wrote a review about one of my favorite things ever, Unitization!!

We took a look at the behavioral and neural underpinnings of unitization & its benefit to associative memory

Check out this super cool work here! https://t.co/wH9WHnm6t9

is this me now?

[Stephanie E Suarez @geologiststephy]

Having to ask "weird barbie" for advice is the equivalent of having to ask the most senior grad student for department lore and how to navigate in said space.

[Ashley Steinkrauss @ashsteinkrauss]

Check out this new publication! We studied the neural distinctiveness and discriminability of unitized and non-unitized pairs in the MTL in older adults.

Thank you to @PSUCogAgingLab, @ccarpenter_15, and Amy Overman for their continued help and support.

long time no see twitter (now X?)

I'm excited to share a new (posted two months ago lol) preprint from me and @PSUCogAgingLab

We take a look at the neural pattern similarity of true and false schematic memories 😃

[Dr. Nancy Dennis @PSUCogAgingLab]

Beyond excited to congratulate @ccarpenter_15 on her T32 Graduate Fellowship, awarded from the Center for Healthy Aging @penn_state!! Cat will be working with me and @J9Kwapis to study aging & memory processes from both a biological and behavioral perspective. CONGRATS CAT!!

[Cat Carpenter, M.S. @ccarpenter_15]

@PSUCogAgingLab @penn_state @J9Kwapis Thank you Nancy!! ☺️

[Cat Carpenter, M.S. @ccarpenter_15]

Having a ball science-ing in San Fran 😎

Thank you to everyone who stopped by my poster and for giving great feedback! (And thanks @chamberlain_jdc for the candids)

The CANLAB at Penn State is hiring a full time Research Assistant. Work will involve learning individual differences analyses & multivariate fMRI analyses working on both our false memory and associative memory in aging projects. Please RT!

[Jordan Chamberlain @chamberlain_jdc]

Do you like research on aging, false memories, cognitive training, and neural recruitment?

Of course you do, so you should check out our new preprint with @IndiraTurney, @ashsteinkrauss, @SHAARPlab, & @PSUCogAgingLab!🧠

Unitization is cool & so is this really cool paper we just had published 😀

We examined neural distinctiveness and reinstatement of inter and intra-item pairs in the MTL.

Check it out! https://t.co/bvx8icNDjk

Last year I taught myself R with resources I primarily found via Twitter. I've been meaning to share some of the resources here, and I finally have a little time today. So here they are... 🧵

@j__tam @Psychonomic_Soc Congrats Joyce!!

[Penn State Psychology @PSUPsychology]

Penn State's Psychology PhD program (see https://t.co/wZjptLmF12) will be hosting a virtual “Info Night” to introduce our program to students considering pursuing graduate studies in psychology: Wednesday October 12th starting at 5pm EST. Register at https://t.co/lrc8hKXG1F

[Julie Cristello, PhD @julie_cristello]

With psych grad school application deadlines approaching, I wanted to share a Google Drive with a number of resources to help navigate the process. This also includes sample email templates to advisors and personal/diversity statements. https://t.co/3k3RZb5XDl

@natalie_schwob @PSUCogAgingLab @c_webb14 Thank you Nat!

[Cat Carpenter, M.S. @ccarpenter_15]

look mom! I'm a first-author 😎

Check out our new paper about contextual interference, aging and associative memory
