New Paper out! My colleague Julia Pronoza used data from two of our previous studies to set up a computational model and gain insights into when prediction errors update existing memories vs create new ones. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

NEW PREPRINT Ukrainians are more positive about their collective future than Germans and Poles. They also see their personal future as more intertwined with their country's and feel more agency to be able to change their country's future.

The Memory Lab congratulates @mariusboeltzig.bsky.social to the successful defense of his PhD! Well done Dr. Boeltzig! 👨‍🎓 Marius did excellent research in the @schubotzlab.bsky.social on understanding how the size of prediction errors shapes episodic memory. 🧠 Make sure to check out his work!

After 3.5 years, I defended my PhD in Psychology, with my thesis "Learning From The Unexpected: How Prediction Error Size Shapes Episodic Memory". So grateful to colleagues, collaborators, and friends who were part of this journey!

Remembering and future thinking are related - but self-serving biases can influence their relationships. This is what our new paper shows in the context of political elections. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Just kicked off the Kyiv Winter School of Memory 2026 with over 70 participants of different universities in Ukraine. So rewarding to see this slightly crazy idea become a reality. Thanks to @linniplidot.bsky.social and Karine Malysheva (National University of Kyiv) for organising this with me.

New Paper Out! Why do some prediction errors (PEs) lead to changes in episodic memories and others do not? Our new research supports the idea that the size of the episodic PE plays a crucial role in shaping mnemonic and neural outcomes. These are the 4 most important results:
