Greetings from Lepin-le Lac, where we went together for research focus-work (and team-building). 👩‍💻 The writing was on fire (and so was the weather), but we could cool down in the evening with the fresh country air and a dip in the lake, a welcome reward. ☀️⛵🌅💦🌴🌳

Are item &order memory separate or intertwined? Thanks @johannahein.bsky.social for positioning this dilemma for us in lab meeting, along with early findings from tasks with reduced item- or order load. We can see why you’re torn between the 2 positions &hope your research can help sort things out!

Ever wondered why only some memories 🧠 come easily? Our latest work (osf.io/preprints/ps...) led by S. 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⚡
