Have you ever tried to predict the grade you would receive on an exam? If so, how did you do it? The answer is through metacognition. We discuss strategies students can employ to improve metacognitive accuracy and subsequent memory performance. Read more⬇️ psychologyinaction.org/psychology-in-…

Recent article coving some of my work with older adults!

🚨 New paper out in Metacognition and Learning! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

New paper out! We examined age differences in the effects of interference on value-based memory. Proactive and retroactive interference seem to be largely responsible for age-related deficits in selective memory for important information. Link to article: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

🚨 New paper in Psych and Aging! We examined how younger and older adults learn foreign vocabulary words of varying importance psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-44…

🚨 New paper out in Applied Cognitive Psychology! I show why offloading decisions should depend on the reliability of the external store, memory abilities, and the variability of the value of to-be-remembered information onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ac…

New paper in Memory! We looked at the effect of video speed on mind-wandering and test performance in younger and older adults tandfonline.com/eprint/UFQQAWH…

🚨New paper in Psych and Aging! We looked at age-related differences in memory when offloading important information psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-71…

Value-directed remembering researchers: value structure influences measures of memory selectivity! Read more here ⬇️ tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

🚨New paper in JEPLMC with @shawnschwartz_! We show how value-directed remembering involves both strategic encoding and retrieval operations but that attentional resources during retrieval may be less influential in strategic selective memory. Read more ⬇️ psycnet.apa.org/buy/2023-80942…

🚨 New paper out in Memory! Contrary to some recent findings, I provide evidence that survival processing does not interact with directed forgetting tandfonline.com/eprint/ZPD5NCD…

🚨New paper out! We found that the framing of learning goals can impact metacognitive decisions and subsequent memory in both younger and older adults. Check out our findings here ⬇️tandfonline.com/eprint/IYJCME5…

📢 New paper on memory for advertisements! We tested subjects' memory for a cognitive enhancement product efficacy claim: "clinically proven" vs. "clinically studied." Subjects showed a bias towards remembering it as having been "proven" to be effective onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ac…

📢 New paper! We examined how learners perceive the importance of information in different font sizes and how beliefs about font size influence selective memory. Read more here: link.springer.com/article/10.375…

New paper out! 🧠📚 We explored how younger and older adults differ in their strategic and automatic processing of valuable information, revealing that younger adults generally exhibit stronger automatic effects of value on memory. 🔗 Read more: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

🧠 New paper on how age impacts memory encoding and retrieval strategies! Discover how older adults harness strategic processing in various contexts. Full study here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

New paper on the reactive effects of judgments of learning (JOLs) across different age groups! 🧠📚 Check it out here: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

New paper in Educational Psychology Review where we further examine the effect of playback speed on the comprehension of audio and audio-visual content! Check it out: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Alexis Torres has written an excellent review, now published in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews on "The Role of the LC-NE System in Attention: From Cells, to Systems, to Sensory-Motor Control" (w/ me and Gene Brewer). check it out! doi.org/10.1016/j.neub…
