Karen Campbell @karampbell.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Hey #memory & #aging people, anyone feel like putting together a symposium for #ICOM2027 with me? or invite me to yours (I'm lazy;)? #neuroskyence #psychscisky #cognition 070
Karen Campbell @karampbell.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Thanks Alex. It's all down to @sarahehenderson.bsky.social's hard work and dedication to doing high-quality science. I just edit the papers. ;) 010
Karen Campbell @karampbell.bsky.social · 23/08/2026We've also learned an important lesson about applied work. Taking findings from classic memory paradigms (in this case, retrieval practice) & applying it to naturalistic stimuli doesn't always work. It's complicated and takes time to work out the kinks. Fingers crossed we get there in the end! 7/7 060
Karen Campbell @karampbell.bsky.social · 23/08/2026So yah, feels a bit weird to post a new paper while also questioning it. But I think we scientists need to be more honest about the limits of our findings. 6/7 240
Karen Campbell @karampbell.bsky.social · 23/08/2026We aren't giving up hope just yet and are digging into our massive pile of data to further understand what is going on. Are there things we can tweak to make this intervention more useful for those who need it most? 5/7 110
Karen Campbell @karampbell.bsky.social · 23/08/2026But event tagging doesn't work for everyone & more recently in the lab, it seems that it doesn't help those with worse cognitive health - the exact people we wanted to help! This may be because coming up with keywords requires attention and thus, disrupts encoding for those who can't muster it. 4/7 120
Karen Campbell @karampbell.bsky.social · 23/08/2026As you'll see in the paper, there is a lot of variability. It does boost memory for some old & young, and on average, it strengthens memory for within-event associations. 3/7 110
Karen Campbell @karampbell.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I wish I could say we found the "cure". That pausing a show so participants can generate keywords (i.e., tags) to summarize what they just saw improves memory for everyone. 2/7 110
Karen Campbell @karampbell.bsky.social · 23/08/2026New paper in JARMAC by @sarahehenderson.bsky.social on our new tagging intervention aimed at improving episodic #memory in older adults.

Karen Campbell @karampbell.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Arguably it wouldn't be fair use by ad agencies. But in an academic paper about memory? We are not competing with the BBC 🤣 110
Karen Campbell @karampbell.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Another fun story, we were recently told that we couldn't use screen grabs from Sherlock for copyright reasons. Fine, though I would argue it's fair use. Publisher suggested uploading the screenshots to AI to make cartoons for us. Sure, bc that's not a violation of the BBC'S IP?!? Fuck's sake 130
Karen Campbell @karampbell.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Instead of fixing the peer review system, by paying reviewers or awarding some sort of meaningful credit for peer review (e.g., you can't submit without reviewing), publishers are going to go this way. AI-fueled drivel in place of human decision making. 130
