In pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42637858/ we highlight "WM usage" as a memory property which is independent of "WM capacity", deserving its own theoretical and empirical study.

Stable tendencies in spontaneous working memory usage during flexible behaviour - PubMed
Unlike standard working memory (WM) tasks, real-world settings allow individuals to spontaneously adapt how much information to use from WM before resampling the environment. Here, we considered whether individuals exhibit distinct, trait-like tendencies in their spontaneous use of WM. Across three …

📢 New paper out in JoN [@sfnjournals.bsky.social]! With Larissa, Freek [@freekvanede.bsky.social], Kia [@brognition.bsky.social] and Sage [@dynacog-lab.bsky.social], we ask which and when WM contents get reselected after an interrupting external-attention task. 🧵 below (1|9) doi.org/10.1523/JNEU...

Neural Dynamics of Reselecting Visual and Motor Contents in Working Memory after External Interference
In everyday tasks, we must often shift our focus away from internal representations held in working memory to engage with perceptual events in the external world. Here, we investigated how our interna...

We are very sad that our visiting student and friend Michelle is leaving us this week 🥲 Michelle made clay versions of us all for our final lab meeting together (can you guess who is who ?!) We will miss her very much!!! Thank you for sharing the delights of power analysis with us Michelle🔌

Attention was paid and memories were made at the wonderful lab retreat in Oxford this week with @brognition.bsky.social and @dynacog-lab.bsky.social - serious punting, tasty BBQs, great conversations, and even better company 😀🧠

First post on Bluesky! Check out our new paper (w/ @abclab.bsky.social @brognition.bsky.social) in Nature Communications @natcomms.bsky.social (featured in Editors' Highlights🌟)! We investigated how attention operates differently within WM and LTM: www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/6)

Feature-temporal predictions dynamically modulate performance, feature-based attentional capture, and motor response activity during visual search
Recent research has investigated visual search in dynamic environments and considered how temporal predictions modulate behaviour over time. Spatiotemporal predictions have been shown to adaptively gu...

Newest from the lab out now! ☀️ We explored how long-term memory contributes to naturalistic memory-guided behaviour – not because we have to, but because we choose to. Find out more: www.cell.com/current-biol...

Long-term memory facilitates spontaneous memory usage through multiple pathways
Many natural behaviors require the flexible coordination of sampling sensory information from the external environment and the use of information from memory. Kumle et al. show that long-term memory s...

Forum article out now in Trends in Cognitive Science 🙂 We highlight 'sensorimnemonic decisions' as a key process that determines whether and when we use memory in coordination with sensory sampling to guide natural, free-flowing behaviour. www.cell.com/trends/cogni...
