Check out Adi’s new paper! In our Key Moments Adventures, we previously found they’re kinda-sorta correlated with event boundaries. We wanted to know just how kinda-sorta, and importantly, we went to great lengths to equate the way the two constructs were measured. Read on 😎

I’m pleased to share that I’ve been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure. Lots of feelings that words can’t really do much to unpack, but to quote a probably obscure song I’m fond of: “I love you all, and thank you.” (The next line is “I can’t do this alone,” which is accurate.)

I would obviously prefer a resounding “no” in favor of sticking to our principles, but I suppose it is worth acknowledging that a university such as ours - located in a place subject to deeply conservative politics - is not in the easiest position one could imagine. In the end, I’ll take it.

Check out our new study by @atabk.bsky.social! He tweaked a word list memory task to have hidden rules at encoding, which shifted and created “event boundaries.” People recalled pre-boundary words more, and post-boundary words less. Other fun bits in the paper include a reinforcement learning model!

This is SUCH a cool study. Know that one effect event boundaries have on temporal order memory? The impairment they cause? Turns out that effect depends on the “events” being arbitrary. Things look very different when you test order memory for meaningfully-associated events.

Two months into the new US presidency, I’m struck by how quickly we collectively acquiesced to being told what was acceptable for universities to do and to study. Instant acceptance of thought policing from a culture that will tell anyone who listens (and those who would rather not) how free we are.
