I wrote up something that's been in my head for a while: psychometric methods alone can't tell us what cognitive tasks and their indicators measure. Correlating indicators across tasks is circular when constructs are defined by those same correlations. osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧵1/3

Two traditions in action control research - BRAC and procedural WM - often talk past each other. This latest review from members of our lab and colleagues from the BRAC community connects them conceptually and computationally, showing how procedural WM can reproduce key BRAC effects.

Is WM a gateway to LTM? In this registered report we find that higher WM load rarely impairs LTM encoding - suggesting WM capacity is not a bottleneck for forming LTM traces. @as-souza.bsky.social @edamizrak.bsky.social @cognition-zurich.bsky.social psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-... [1/3]

The successful applicant will work with the head of the Cognitive Psychology Unit, Prof. Dr. Klaus
Oberauer, and the Cognitive Psychology team. The post involves research and teaching (one course
per semester).
Research at the Zurich Cognitive Psychology Unit focuses on capacity limits of cognition, in particular
working memory, long-term memory, and attention, which we investigate with experimental,
individual-differences and aging studies and computational modeling. For further information see:
https://www.psychology.uzh.ch/en/areas/nec/allgpsy.html
We offer:
- An attractive research environment with close collaboration within the team
- Excellent lab infrastructure

- experience with publishing in international journals
- programming skills
- experience with mathematical / computational modeling
Please send applications including your CV and motivation letter
no later than September 10, 2025
electronically as a single PDF to: Michaela Oestmann, michaela.oestmann@psychologie.uzh.ch

Haridi, with @ericschulz.bsky.social, shows that targeted memory retrieval speeds up with precise semantic and temporal retrieval cues. Hence, crafting cues can give you instant access to memories⚡
