Why are #older adults less prone to PTSD than younger adults? In our study, they felt just as distressed during a trauma film and had the same # intrusions — yet reported fewer #PTSD symptoms. The difference? Less #rumination. How we process events after they happen may matter most. bit.ly/4ka1XYi

I had a dream last night about my DECRA outcome. I think this is a clear sign for me to stop compulsively checking RMS and the ARC's LinkedIn page every 10 minutes... #DE26 #ARC And to be clear, the outcome in my dream was not good 😂 Fingers crossed the real life outcome is better!

I’ve never presented in a fancier room than this! It was great fun talking about a review we have been tirelessly working on as to how eyewitness researchers report on their coding schemes. Preliminary data suggests inconsistency and sometimes a lack of transparency. Paper and recommendations coming

Sarah A. Walker@sarahawalker.bsky.social · last yr.

Excited to see this systematic review getting presented at @officialsarmac.bsky.social by lead author @hayleycullen.bsky.social which talks about the importance of transparency & clarity in coding schemes of eyewitness memory research. Paper coming soon!

Many thanks to Corey Wolven from the New South Wales Police Force for inviting me to a screening of “Prima Facie”, a play written by Suzie Miller showing the harrowing journey of a sexual assault victim survivor as they navigate the legal process.

5 years since our first pilot, and 25,000 participants later, I'm super happy this work with Makaela Nartker, @chazfirestone.bsky.social and Howard Egeth on inattentional blindness is now out in eLife! A little 🧵 of what we found... 1/12 elifesciences.org/articles/100...

Sensitivity to visual features in inattentional blindness

As a group, inattentionally blind participants can successfully report the location, color, and shape of stimuli they deny noticing, and exhibit a systematic bias to report not noticing.

📢🚨My newest publication - and final publication from my PhD - came out today! With my PhD supervisors @celinevangolde.bsky.social and Helen Paterson, I conducted two mock juror studies to see if demonstrating IB and expert evidence can improve perceptions of witness inattentional blindness 🧵 /5

Our Psychology and Crime research lab - MacqPAC - is now on BlueSky. Please follow us for updates on our work 😊 @macqpac.bsky.social

One of my favourite things that happened this week is that one of my students, who spent 3 weeks over Easter at a dig at Vindolanda Roman Fort in Northumberland, sent me an email FULL of photos of all their small finds. So nice to be able to connect with students and see them living their best life

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

📣 new paper out in #JARMAC! We found that witnesses who experienced inattentional blindness for a crime were only less accurate and confident when asked cued recall questions. When asked a free recall question, they were just as acc and conf as noticers. psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...
