Recently, our undergrad RA Kyra Mathew, mentored by our grad student Shanti, presented her Biology 152 mentored research project. We’re so proud of her hard work and growth!

Last month, our senior lab members attended the 66th Annual Psychonomic Society Meeting in Denver, the largest conference for cognitive psychologists in the world! At the meeting, our postdoc Freya and graduate students Emma, Shanti, and Ezgi presented some of their latest findings. We are so proud!

Remembering how much of a joy it was to showcase some visual illusions during Science at the Square earlier this month! It's always a pleasure to showcase just how much our eyes automatically adapt throughout a single day, and just how strange the results can be!

Long-term intervention studies are critically necessary to study cognitive training interventions but are prohibitively ressource demanding. We released a paper on how to use Prolific to reduce the retrouve demands of running such studies. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We're happy to announce another paper authored by some LATL members, including first author Lauren Anthony! This paper dives into potential applications to use expectancy-value theory to motivate cognitive training/learning behaviors! The paper is linked here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

One of our graduate students, Emma Cunningham, has just published a paper in collaboration with Dr. Green and Dr. Bavelier assessing the current measures used for judging our planning abilities! The paper can be found below, for those interested in reading! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We would like to congratulate one of our graduate students, Ezgi Yuksel, for her recently published research with Dr. Shawn Green and Dr. Haley Vlach! You can read her work looking at how students test and modify their strategies for learning in the classroom here: www.mdpi.com/2076-328X/15...

We are pleased to announce that our very own postdoc, Dr. Joessel, was selected as a recipient for UW-Madison's 2025 Postdoc Excellence in Mentoring award! Freya's wisdom and experience has guided multiple junior members and their projects, all in just two short years! We're extremely proud of you!

Very proud to celebrate both Rainy Jin and Meghan Wokurka for their fantastic work on their senior theses in the Learning and Transfer Lab this year! We wish the absolute best for both of you as you start to make waves in the world of Psychology!

U of Wisconsin alumni & friends: today is "Day of the Badger"--a day to raise money to support our department & our students. If we reach 150 donors to the Dept of Psych, we unlock a big additional gift! Please support if you can! (any dollar amount, $5 is great!)
