Time seems to speed up as we get older - is that partly due to events/neural states lasting longer?

Very happy to see this published! Registered report led by the fantastic Sophie Sowden-Carvalho (and with @thepsychologist.bsky.social & @brainapps.bsky.social) looking at effort-based prosocial decision-making in autistic and non-autistic adults. tinyurl.com/3upvukt2

Back @brocku.ca for a view days to work on a project related to our recent publication on how neural states change with age during naturalistic viewing: www.nature.com/articles/s42...

In our new study we look at eye movements during movie-watching and whether it relates to memory for the movie.

The brain represents the world around us as a series of neural states - stable patterns of activity that change as we move from one event to the next.

New paper by @selmalugtmeijer.bsky.social showing that neural states get longer as people age. #PsychSciSky

Current fatigue shapes future motivation.

Talking at the poster session about how momentarily fluctuations in fatigue influence willingness to exert effort for reward in the future.

Our new study shows that accelerated long-term forgetting occurs more often in stroke patients than in age-matched controls. After one week, 35% showed marked forgetting despite normal recall after 30 min. Important for neuropsychological diagnostics.
