Excited to share our new paper on how distraction affects memory retrieval.
Using a continuous report paradigm, we show that distraction reduces whether memories are accessed but not how precisely they are represented.

New paper out in JEP:General, led by uber-productive grad student Ricardo Morales Torres: We use behavior and RNNs to show that object semantics protect visual working memory against visual interference but increase susceptibility to semantic interference

New review/theory paper out in PBR with Julie Bugg, Chris Nuno, and Changrun Huang. We muse about the "puzzle of profitless pre-cues" - why is it so hard to get people to engage proactive control from trial-to-trial? We hope it stimulates more research!

New paper from the lab now out online. Changrun Huang asked whether people use informative pre-cues to up-regulate cognitive control in the spatial Stroop task. Surprisingly, they do not, and we rule out some possible reasons for this:

This work is now out! Check out our paper on generalizable brain network model of surprise. Grateful for @monicarosenb for being the most supportive mentor!
23 Dec 2024
In this Article, @zzwziwei and @monicarosenb build a model that predicts surprise from brain network dynamics revealing similarities across distinct contexts (task learning, basketball watching, and cartoon viewing). @UChicagoPsych @UChicago_Brains

NYT tweeted this to its 55 million followers and it has under 500 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “John Kelly, Donald Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, said Trump met the definition of a fascist and would try to govern like a dictator if elected”

Our new work on the inhibitory control of LANGUAGE is now available at JEP:General. This is a wonderful collab between Kristi Hendrickson (also my wife) and my labs, first-authored by a former undergrad who joined us after our #FirstGen workshop. 🧵 below psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-…
