Abstract. Event segmentation is the cognitive process of dividing continuous experiences into meaningful units. Although working memory (WM) is believed to play an instrumental role in event segmentat...

Typical visual working memory tasks involve many trials of rapid presentations of simple stimuli to be remembered across short delays. This is rarely …

Over the past several years, I have had the opportunity to teach a national virtual workshop on R Programming for Psychology and Neuroscience. Supported by the National Science Foundation and hoste…

Abstract. Prediction error during memory reactivation is posited to be a key driver of memory updating. However, prediction error leads to varied memory ou

This registration for is to confirm your attendance at the virtual ReproducibiliTea conference "Spilling the ReproducibiliTea: A decade on and decades ahead", taking place online (Zoom) on September 2...

Using a Snake-inspired working memory task, this study shows that people dynamically reprioritize memorized goals after distraction, demonstrating how working memory supports flexible planning in dyna...

Humans constantly compare their visual memories with similar visual inputs to modify their behavior adaptively. However, basic and applied studies sug…

Flexible prioritization in working memory (WM) is supported by neural oscillations in frontal and sensory brain areas, but the roles of different oscillations remain poorly understood. Recordings in h...

Visual perception is imperfect. Fortunately, the environment contains an incredible amount of structure that observers can learn to exploit through ex…

Working memory (WM) is a capacity- and duration-limited system that enables the representation and processing of fleeting sensory phenomena. Human fMRI studies indicate that brain areas associated wit...

The removal of no-longer-relevant information from visual working memory (WM) is important for the functioning of WM, given its severe capacity limitation. Previously, with an “ABC-retrocuing” WM task...
