A big conference done, a paper accepted in Cortex, and a new Labour government. Think it warrants a little celebration.

A systematic dissection of the analogue report methodology and comparison with "gold-standard" 2AFC. Key findings: motor noise is negligible; analogue report error is a robust measure of memory fidelity, but may underestimate perceptual precision doi.org/10.3758/s13428…

New paper available online in Memory and Cognition! We explored social offloading (i.e., the leveraging of other agents in the social world to facilitate cognitive performance) among adults using a novel visuospatial working memory task. Check it out here: link.springer.com/article/10.375…
