Check out our newly rebranded lab investigating how environments shape cognitive development and learning. We focus on abilities typically associated with the frontal lobes, aiming to understand how experience influences how we think, act, and learn. www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/departme...

How can we better support individuals living with #dyslexia? We spoke to @drrebeccagordon.bsky.social (@ioe.bsky.social) to find out. www.ucl.ac.uk/brain-scienc...

"We need awareness in the workplace so that support and reasonable adjustments can be made for dyslexic adults. In line with this, we need to remove any stigma there might be about disclosing a dyslexia diagnosis. We know that dyslexia is not related to intelligence yet, for some,
this myth persists."

50 years ago Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch propelled the term #workingmemory into the psychological lexicon, with a vision that still resonates today! This editorial with Mark Hurlstone, @amyatkinson.bsky.social , Satoru Saito and Robert Logie, reflects on that remarkable contribution in 1974.
