Representational Momentum Transcends Motion Dillon Plunkett & Jorge Morales (2025) Psychological Science

When we see something that's moving, our memories about it end up projected forward in time: We remember it further along than it was. In a new paper in 𝘗𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, out today and led by @dillonplunkett.bsky.social, we demonstrate that this happens even when there is 𝙣𝙤 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙤𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧.🧵

There's no rationale, no theory, no evidence that connects chasing replicability to actual scientific progress or discovery. We're looking for ways to bypass the laborious scientific process of exploration. It's a pity that we waste our increasingly limited research resources on futile searches.

We are currently inviting submissions of papers (talks and posters)!

Notre Dame has three *open-rank* faculty positions in the Institute for Educational Initiatives. These positions are part of a strategic initiative to build on our excellence in educational research and action--both within education and across associated disciplines. Details in thread.

(with caveat that I don't know what you're subtweeting) I sometimes wonder if these kinds of takes, which have been around for as long as there have been teachers and students, are due to the fact that most people can't remember what it was like to not know as much as they know now.

If I've done my sums right, the book is available to pre-order on Tuesday, and Tuesday is also the final day of Routledge's 'Black Friday' sale which means everything is 25% off. So if anyone was thinking about pre-ordering, Tuesday might be a good day for it.

My Visual Attention in Crisis paper has finally appeared, along with 30 commentaries and response. I argue that it’s time to rethink attention from the ground up, and suggest key phenomena and possible directions. Requires access, alas. doi.org/10.1017/S014...

New paper from @tashaunalb.bsky.social, Roger Strong, and me! We find that the ability to split attention between non-contiguous locations develops quite late - between 6 and 8 years of age! Now out in APP. #visionscience #psychscisky #devpsych link.springer.com/epdf/10.3758...

One of the many things I love about TNG is that they made sure to hire an actually deaf actor to play a deaf character.

if you’ve had Szechuan peppercorns do you experience them more as
a) tingly (like a vibration) or
b) numbing (like super weak lidocaine)
~And~ are you colorblind

suggested opening line: "You can't spell Aristotle without AI."

We're working on it in my lab! :)

YouTube video by 10 Seconds To Air How to Build a Healthy Relationship With Your Kids with Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar

I had a fantastic conversation recently with the 10 Seconds to Air podcast.
