A comprehensive study of cognitive control in healthy aging - Communications Medicine De Pue et al. administer a cognitive control test battery measuring inhibition, updating, shifting, and proactive and reactive control in young and older adults. While some cognitive control functions decline with age, others are spared or even improve, highlighting the importance of distinguishing multiple cognitive control functions.

New open access paper in @jcgntn.bsky.social: bit.ly/4bt2D8Q! We developed and validated an open-source cognitive control test battery (bit.ly/4ql9gyP), using a transparent, open science approach. We worked on this for 6 (!!) years, with many lab members, so I'm thrilled to see this published.

Being able to celebrate these achievements with my amazing team and close collaborators last week in Denver was simply wonderful. I look forward to my continued involvement in the Society as Past Chair in 2026. 3/3

It has been an amazing 6 years, where I learned so much and felt so appreciated. I also feel I was able to contribute to several changes and developments in the Society and the field of cognitive psychology, sometimes in difficult times. 2/3

Last week was a very special week in my career, and my life. During the annual meeting of the @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social in Denver #psynom25, I received the Governing Board Chair Service Award. I have been a member of the Board for 6 years now, and was the Chair of the board this year. 1/3
