Nature Communications Psychology just posted a Research Highlight about our paper looking at the memorability of things, w/ @mkpsyx @martin_hebart @Chris_I_Baker : https://t.co/bMClOUWTcK

[Emma Megla @EmmaMegla]

How does what we see interact with what we remember? Delving into this topic, I wrote a chapter with @WilmaBainbridge covering memorability, caricatures, and more! Out soon in Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Neuroscience, but here's an early preprint! https://t.co/RBiK4CtZhb

@ScienceMagazine podcast interview with @WilmaBainbridge discussing our @ScienceAdvances paper with @martin_hebart & @Chris_I_Baker on the memorability of objects! Give it a listen!

[Wilma Bainbridge @WilmaBainbridge]

With the caveat that I have not yet listened to it - @ScienceMagazine covered our recent paper by @mkpsyx @martin_hebart and @Chris_I_Baker in their podcast yesterday! https://t.co/4WkCcC6eNn

[UChicago Social Sciences @UChicagoSSD]

What makes things memorable? Our latest research profile looks at a new study from Asst. Prof. @WilmaBainbridge published in @ScienceAdvances, which examines the features and properties of objects that affect our memories.

We also examine image typicality using convergent measures from behavior, representational similarity, and deep neural networks to show that memorability is not reducible to typicality / atypicality!

[Max Kramer @makramerdata]

Excited to announce that my first first-authored paper is out now in @ScienceAdvances https://t.co/SSfrGH4tB2 We collected 1 million+ memory ratings to show that semantic properties best explain what we remember. Major thanks to @WilmaBainbridge @martin_hebart @Chris_I_Baker

[Max Kramer @makramerdata]

We constructed a model that explained 38.52% of the variance in memorability across 20,000+ images, where we see that the overwhelming majority is captured by semantic features!

[Vlad Ayzenberg @vayzenberg90]

Super excited to share this opinion piece Marlene Behrmann and I have been working on for @TrendsCognSci!

Here we asked: Does the ventral visual pathway represent object shape? 🧵👇

Think you know your Pokémon? A new study uses the beloved “pocket monster” Pikachu, among other iconic images, to illustrate the Visual Mandela Effect—which demonstrates how popular iconography can elicit consistent false memories. https://t.co/qA7trwNSq6

[Deepa Prasad @deepasri_p]

Excited to announce that my first first-author paper with @WilmaBainbridge has been accepted at Psych Science! (preprint: https://t.co/akhU9raPhZ) We show that some icons elicit a shared & specific false memory across people, which we dub the Visual Mandela Effect! 1/7

How well can people learn what they will remember and forget? I’ll be presenting my findings with @WilmaBainbridge at my #VSS2022 poster 56.421 in the Pavilion from 2:45-6:45 today, stop by if you’re interested!

[Hannah Guo @Hannahguo115]

My #VSS2022 poster 53.427 w/ @WilmaBainbridge will be in Pavilion tmr morning 8:30 am-12:30 pm. I'll be talking about children’s development of visual memory patterns. Drop by if you’re interested!

[Emma Megla @EmmaMegla]

How do our visual memory representations get built up as we view an image? To find out, come check out my #VSS2022 poster today with @WilmaBainbridge where we use drawing to look at this question! 🖍 Poster #56.425 in the Pavilion from 2:45-6:45pm!

🌴 #BrainBridgeLab and BLRB repping @UChicagoPsych at #VSS2022!! @CRevsine @EmmaMegla @zzwziwei @Emily_E_Russell @bigearkk @artbytrent_ @mkpsyx @Hannahguo115

[Max Kramer @makramerdata]

Super excited for @VSSMtg this year! I'll be presenting my talk on Wednesday 5/18 in Talk room 1 on the determinants of object memorability w/@WilmaBainbridge @martin_hebart and @Chris_I_Baker! https://t.co/SllEg4vhNK

[Ziwei Zhang @zzwziwei]

I'm excited to be giving a talk @VSSMtg this Saturday at 9am in the Learning talk session (talk room 1)! I’ll present work with @monicarosenb on the impact of attention fluctuations on the learning of statistical regularities https://t.co/6iT3W5DSg0 #VSS2022

[Wilma Bainbridge @WilmaBainbridge]

The #BrainBridgeLab @UChicagoPsych is ready for Florida and #VSS2022!! Come visit our talks and posters throughout the week to learn all our latest on visual memory & memorability! 🌴@VSSMtg

[Max Kramer @makramerdata]

We also surprisingly demonstrate that memorability is not synonymous with typicality, as the relationship between memorability and typicality varied strongly across the object concepts in THINGS, with a slight tendency for more prototypical items being best remembered.

[Max Kramer @makramerdata]

🎉 New Preprint 🎉

I'm super excited that my first preprint is out on BioRxiv! We explore the features that determine what we remember and what we forget.

with @martin_hebart , @Chris_I_Baker , and @WilmaBainbridge

[Max Kramer @makramerdata]

We examine over 1 million memory ratings and demonstrate that semantic features exert a stronger influence on memorability than visual features.
