Do maintenance and processing compete for a shared resource in working memory? In our new preprint, we use three experiments to show that they are more independent than commonly assumed. The observed trade-off arose mainly when processing required additional information to be encoded:

Is There a Trade-Off Between Processing and Maintenance of Information in Working Memory?: https://osf.io/cd4jv

More specifically, increasing processing demand alone did not impair memory. Memory declined primarily when processing introduced a changing reference object that had to be encoded. Meanwhile, increasing memory load did not progressively reduce processing accuracy or slow response times.

How to best estimate Bayes factors for standard hypothesis tests? We compared bridge sampling and the Savage-Dickey density ratio. The latter does a good job in most constellations typical for experiments in cognitive psychology.

link.springer.comReliability, bias, and computational cost of estimating the Bayes factor using bridge sampling and the Savage–Dickey density ratio - Behavior Research MethodsBayes factors often require numerical estimation because closed-form solutions are unavailable. In six simulation studies, we explored the reliability, bias, and computational cost of two easy-to-use ...

Tired of relying on accuracy & RT to study individual differences? Cognitive models go beyond task performance to estimate the cognitive processes driving behavior. We bring cognitive models to individual-differences research — with practical guidance on study design and data analysis.

🚨New paper🚨 I’m exited to share that our (@joschadutli.bsky.social, K. Oberauer, @leabartsch.bsky.social) work on the link between grouping of information in #workingmemory and the formation of chunks in #longtermmeory has just been published in Cognition! 🥳 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Happy to share a new preprint with @joschadutli.bsky.social, K. Oberauer, and @leabartsch.bsky.social! We investigated the flexibility of chunk formation in (partially) repeated sequences and show how chunk formation in #longtermmemory can be driven by how information is structured in #workingmemory
