Interested in ecology and climate change? Younger and older adults intend these concepts differently. For older adults, they are more concrete than for younger ones. Thank you @ileniafalcinelli.bsky.social @chiarafini.bsky.social @claudiamazzuca.bsky.social project age.it @ballabrome.bsky.social

Interesting multidisciplinary conference on aging. We presented tuo posters: a. conversations on concrete and abstract concepts of younger and older adults; b. how younger and older adults represent ecological concepts.

Great presentation, excellent experimental work, outstanding supervisors, and a great committee! Thank you for inviting me. And yes, you should be proud! I believe that all people working on abstract concepts and semantic memory will benefit from this work. 👏

Which is the sound of thought? A lot of fun discussions at the ESCOP symposium on inner speech. I presented a talk together with @chiaradelivio.bsky.social, Angelo Mattia Gervasi, and @cfernyhough.bsky.social, on inner speech as both an inner (cognitive) and social tool. @ballabrome.bsky.social

Very proud of the PhD defense of @ileniafalcinelli.bsky.social. Her dissertation focuses on ecological concepts (e.g., pollution), with various tasks, in older and younger adults. This work shows how studies on abstract concepts can help improve pro-environmental behaviors. @ballabrome.bsky.social
