@PSUCogAgingLab @Alexa__Becker and I wrote a review about one of my favorite things ever, Unitization!!
We took a look at the behavioral and neural underpinnings of unitization & its benefit to associative memory
Check out this super cool work here! link.springer.com/article/10…

The CANLAB at Penn State is hiring a full time Research Assistant. Work will involve learning individual differences analyses & multivariate fMRI analyses working on both our false memory and associative memory in aging projects. Please RT!

Do you like research on aging, false memories, cognitive training, and neural recruitment?
Of course you do, so you should check out our new preprint with @IndiraTurney, @ashsteinkrauss, @SHAARPlab, & @PSUCogAgingLab!🧠

Unitization is cool & so is this really cool paper we just had published 😀
We examined neural distinctiveness and reinstatement of inter and intra-item pairs in the MTL.
Check it out! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

I'm still on twitter hiatus, but I thought it's worth sharing this. A bit rant-y I'll admit, but hey it's an opinion piece. Thanks to @LindseyDrayton for inviting me & putting up with procrastination and bad drafts!
Charan Ranganath asks, “What are the neural and computational principles that give rise to episodic memory?”

With psych grad school application deadlines approaching, I wanted to share a Google Drive with a number of resources to help navigate the process. This also includes sample email templates to advisors and personal/diversity statements. drive.google.com/drive/folde…

On this day, 11 years ago, the 1st CANLAB paper was accepted for publication w/@CaitlinRBowman "True and phantom recollection: an fMRI investigation of similar and distinct neural correlates".
And today CABLAB has over 35 great research papers w/ so many grads and collaborators!
