New review paper with @timothyfbrady and @violastoermer now out in Current Directions in Psych Science! “Meaningfulness and Familiarity Expand Visual Working Memory Capacity” journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09…

New paper out with LaurenWilliams, @timothyfbrady, and @violastoermer in JEP: G "Limits of verbal labels in cognition: Category labels do not improve visual working memory performance for obfuscated objects" psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-34…

Today afternoon I’ll be presenting my poster at #vss2025 titled “Perceptual and conceptual contributions of the real-world object benefit in visual working memory: Is looking like an object good enough to enhance memory?”

Tomorrow morning I’ll be presenting my poster at #CNS2025 B10: “Increased neural delay activity for simple features when they are remembered as part of real-world objects” Come chat with me about how semantic associations may improve feature working memory! @CogNeuroNews

New paper out now in JEP:G. "Individual differences in working memory and attentional control continue to predict memory performance despite extensive learning." psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/xg…

Thankful each day for what I do & who I get to do it with!

Presenting my poster @OPAMconference today 11:30am: “Can you remember them better because they are familiar or because they look real? Testing the contribution of object-ness in visual working memory with novel objects” See you all there!
