Time effects on working memory and long-term memory, are they similar or different? Our work with Alessandra Souza and Klaus Oberauer here.
Memory researchers have known this: If we leave more free time between one study item and the next, memory is better. This is true for WM and LTM - but is it so for the same reason? Probably not. If you want to know more, have a look at our new paper in JEP:General: psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

Our new paper on how free time improves working memory and long-term memory differently at JEP:General with Klaus Oberauer and Alessandra Souza: Our results challenge a single explanation of the free-time benefit for memory retention across short and long intervals.

I am pleased to share that "the bird study" is now accepted at Psychology and Aging! A great collaboration with visiting intern Kishen Senziani, @leabartsch.bsky.social & @edamizrak.bsky.social 😀 Check out the pre-print below and a short thread on the study design and main takeaways 🧵👇

New Preprint with @edamizrak.bsky.social! Performance in immediate memory tasks reflects a flexible mixture of contributions of #workingmemory and LTM. Distraction disrupts WM, while PI impairs retrieval from LTM; when both are in play, performance depends on the relative reliability of each system

Honey, we fixed Signal Detection Theory (SDT)! In this preprint, Constantin Meyer-Grant, David Kellen, Sam Harding, and I critically evaluate the (unequal-variance) Gaussian SDT model in recognition memory and pursue the Gumbel-min model as a principled alternative: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Extreme-Value Signal Detection Theory for RecognitionMemory: The Parametric Road Not Taken
Signal Detection Theory has long served as a cornerstone of psychological research, particularly in recognition memory. Yet its conventional application hinges almost exclusively on the Gaussian…

This one is interesting. The results contradict all existing explanations about the detrimental effect of distractors in complex span tasks and the use of free time to "counteract" this. Distractors impair items encoded before them, however, time does not help counteract this.
