this might be more a of Twitter-heyday-era throwback, but for folks coming to #SfN25 my lab has 2 awesome posters on Sat 1-5pm! In GG2 we look at the impact of contextual overlap on brain activity patterns & in HH5 we try to understand why overlapping information can sometimes help vs hurt learning

And, although OA overall recall less items and make more memory errors than YA, everyone shows similar patterns in their memory errors: (1) More sound-based than meaning-based memory errors and (2) More memory errors from the earliest study positions. Again, evidence for shared memory stores.

Halle Dimsdale-Zucker @halledz.bsky.social · 14/08/2025
But here, we find evidence for SHARED memory stores & CONTINUITY of processing w aging. Both YA & OA make meaning- and sound-based errors (“false memories”) from ALL list positions. This is exciting because it refutes the idea that the type of coding is tied to different underlying memory stores.

Halle Dimsdale-Zucker @halledz.bsky.social · 14/08/2025
Classically, we would predict that early list positions rely on long-term, meaning-based (semantic) codes whereas late list positions rely on short-term, sound-based (phonological) codes. And w/ aging, we would expect more robust preservation of semantic (vs phonological) codes

I'm not a big poster, but had to share how proud I am of my postdoc, Lauri Gurguryan, for submitting the FIRST paper from my lab 🎉 Here, we ask a classic ? Do short- and long-term memory rely on separate or shared underlying stores Checkout the preprint: bit.ly/3Hyyl83 #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

Semantic false memories are traditionally more frequent from early list positions and thought to arise from presumed long-term memory stores whereas phonological false memories traditionally are more ...

No that’s roughly right, @drlarisa.bsky.social - eg, paying URM undergrads (which I can, and have, used startup $ to do but doesn’t seem to be the norm for “research” dollars). Luckily we have some campus-level programs for the larger kinds of $ support & I’ve tried to use those existing programs

Halle Dimsdale-Zucker @halledz.bsky.social · 24/10/2023
I tried to do this & was essentially told no/your startup is not earmarked so you can use that for DEI if you want (but it’s not advised bc it’s research $). Any specific tips that you think made your negotiations on this successful???
