Our new event-tagging approach may improve memory performance in older adults. However, cognitive aging is idiosyncratic, and likewise, memory interventions are not one-size-fits-all. We’re continuing to investigate who can benefit from this approach and why, with the goal of extending its reach.

New paper in JARMAC by @sarahehenderson.bsky.social on our new tagging intervention aimed at improving episodic #memory in older adults. And a little story about our foray into applied work. 🧵👇🏻 Bottom line: guys, it's hard. #PsychSciSky doi.org/10.1037/mac0...

If you're at #CSBBCS, come hear me talk about @sarahehenderson.bsky.social's work on event tagging - a novel intervention aimed at improving event memory in older adults. 🌞 9am, HNE room 37 🌞

Great science and great friends at CNS. I shared new work from my postdoc @audreyduarte.bsky.social We find that depressive symptoms are linked to greater neural evidence of proactive interference at encoding which predicts subsequent errors at retrieval. This effect seems to be exacerbated by age.

Exciting new preprint! We use concepts from event cognition to inform a promising new intervention to improve older adults' episodic memory.

New preprint by @sarahehenderson.bsky.social. The *real* blood, sweat, and tears of her PhD - trying to develop an intervention to improve episodic memory in older adults under naturalistic conditions. "Event tagging" is simple, but holds real promise. #PsychSciSky #memory doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Opportunity to move to Canada. 🍁 The Lifespan Institute @brocku.ca is looking to hire a Canada Excellence Research Chair In Healthy Development Across the Lifespan. More info in the job ad (salary negotiable). brocku.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/brocku_caree....

Thrilled to share this work now published in Cerebral Cortex! doi.org/10.1093/cerc... We apply Greedy State Boundary Search in EEG to identify neural state boundaries and show that the degree of shift, but not their temporal synchrony, predicts memory performance in both older and younger adults.

Neural state changes during movie watching relate to episodic memory in younger and older adults

New preprint by @sarahehenderson.bsky.social with Linda Geerligs using EEG to look at age differences in neural state changes during movie watching and their relationship to memory for the movie #psychscisky osf.io/preprints/ps...

Interested in what you can do with your Cognitive #PsychSciSky PhD besides #AcademicSky? Wondering how to make the transition? Come to our joint virtual panel hosted by @sparksociety.bsky.social & @wicsc-trainee.bsky.social on June 5th, 2025, 12-1:30 PM EDT. FREE to register: shorturl.at/5vWjR

New paper out with @karampbell.bsky.social and Caitlin Mahy! We tested whether associative memory improvements in children aged 8-12 were related to the development of associative binding or attentional control. We had children complete an implicit and explicit associative memory task.

Home is Canada 🇨🇦 Thankful to be voting today.

Excited to share this collaboration! Come chat event cognition and aging bright and early on Sunday!
