We are pleased to announce @krzysztofcipora.bsky.social has joined MCLL as our new co-leader!
After 4 years at the University of Tübingen and 5 years at @lborodme.bsky.social, he returns to Jagiellonian University to lead the lab with @mateuszhohol.bsky.social. Welcome to the team!

Our members M. Obidziński & N. Bażela will present tomorrow on long-term memory in math cognition at an online seminar for @lborodme.bsky.social. Join us!

Great news! Member of our lab, Julia Klimecka, has been admitted (from the 1st position in the Psychology program!) to the Doctoral School in the Social Sciences of the Jagiellonian University. Congratulations and all the best!

Greetings from Sheffield!👋🧠 We’re at the #ESCOP2025 24th Biennial Conference of the European Society for Cognitive Psychology. Excited to share several of our team’s studies—check them out on our website 👉 mcll.edu.pl/activities/c...

We just got back from #MCLS2025, where we presented our research on numerical processing in mathematicians and on associations between long-term memory and math skills. Many fantastic talks and conversations with colleagues from around the world @mcls-official.bsky.social @mclstrainee.bsky.social

This weekend, our team gave three talks at the Mathematical Cognition conference in Toruń. We’re returning with a best poster award, a special mention, and plenty of inspiration from great discussions with researchers and practitioners. Thanks to everyone for the insights!

Think you're good at picking random numbers? 🎲
Our "random" choices are shaped by hidden patterns - like favoring small numbers, leaning left on a mental number line, and even being influenced by how we move our bodies in space or how we read.

Did you know being good at school math doesn’t mean you can use it in real life? 🧮

Market-working kids solve complex math daily but struggle with school tasks—while students ace tests but can’t apply math practically!

Bridging this gap is key. Stay for more! 🤓

🔢 Numbers tell two stories: the literal (quantity) and the deeper meaning (context).

📈 A 1% increase might seem small—unless it’s the leap from no risk to some risk.

Numeracy & fuzzy-trace theory reveal why both exact and intuitive reasoning matter.

👉 Stay tuned for more!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Ending 2024 with great news! 🤩

1️⃣ A paper by Kinga Wołoszyn et al. has been published in Emotion! 💟
Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

2️⃣ P. Szymanek & M. van Elk's commentary is out in RBB! 🧠
OA paper: doi.org/10.1080/2153...

See you in 2025! 💜

We’re always excited to contribute to bridging research and educational practice! 🎓

Nina Bażela recently joined a seminar on diagnosing dyscalculia, sharing insights on a diagnostic tool for assessing math abilities that she's developing as part of the project at the Educational Research Institute.
