Finally, @arimoccia.bsky.social presented her thorough investigation of how episodic structure does (or does not) help with object memory. Thanks to all the speakers and the PhD student chairs, and to @chloebrunskill.bsky.social and Arianna again! @yorkpsychology.bsky.social

Some cool preliminary research on ingroup bias and how multiple dimensions of identity influence these biases. Thanks @miweissflog.bsky.social!

Best title of the day goes to @jamiecockcroft.bsky.social - lovely presentation and figures and an honest account of accidental replication.

Tabea-Maria Haase then presented some really thought-provoking work on some maths heuristics in children - particularly the operational momentum effect, look it up if you’ve not heard about it!

@chloebrunskill.bsky.social presents in our shorter talk session on our memory for narratives - interesting to think about this other level of memory, rather than just items and episodes!

Wrapping up session 1 is @lewis-ball.bsky.social presenting cool work on the intersection between sleep, memory and social interaction - featuring cool Bayesian modelling of item and source memory.

Next up are funky brain pics: @dmwatson.bsky.social discussing how natural objects are represented in the brain.

First talk is by @emmacsullivan.bsky.social on the oft-discussed topic of sleep, smartphones and mental health. Nice to hear balanced evidence rather than just polarised opinions! (Example of polarised views in photo).

I only found out about this by accident when I couldn't access my preprint. I would like to strongly suggest 1) Notifying users about the switch (preferably in advance) 2) Explaining the switch on a preprint's webpage
