My blog post about generic memory has just been published on The Memory Palace:
How do we recall the memory of events that may happen repeatedly, such as our own birthday? Today at The Memory Palace, Katja Crone analyzes different types of memory, including what she terms "generic" memory, when it comes to frequent events.

My paper 'Memory traces and the (anti)causalist debate' has been published in Philosophical Psychology.
In it, I argue that the debate between causalism and simulationism is a debate about the functional profile of the episodic memory system (1/4)

“Traits” are central units of biological analysis—but how should they be individuated, and relative to which ontogenetic frame of reference? In my new paper, I argue that answering this isn’t easy—and matters more than it seems. 📃👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #HPBio #evosky #evodevo

Two nice things happened to me recently:

and @openshaw.bsky.social, who supervised my research. The members of my committee and the friends I made along the way were also crucial.
