How does our prior knowledge impact how we learn new information? How do memories change over time? We use cognitive neuroscience methods to understand how the brain stores, organizes, and transforms ...

MAC lab interview day! Literally never been more excited to show off my lab swag @alexatompary.bsky.social @maclab.bsky.social

Excited for the MAC lab's debut at OPAM & Psychonomic! Please come find us today and tomorrow ⬇️

So happy to see this published! Lila and I looked at how memory representations of sequences became integrated over time through their shared predictive cues. We had fun thinking about the different aspects of systems consolidation that may play a role in this transformation

Exciting new study from @alexatompary.bsky.social and Lila Davachi: consolidation-related restructuring and integration doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

So proud of @weijiacao.bsky.social for spearheading this cool set of experiments. Weijia is applying to PhD programs this cycle so snap her up while you still can!

What semantic relationships have you been using to test how prior knowledge influences new memories? Turns out it matters! Thematic associations are more likely to boost memory but also generate false memories (relative to taxonomic ones). osf.io/preprints/ps...
