'to treat peer review as a throughput problem is to misunderstand what is at stake. Review is not simply a production stage in the research pipeline; it is one of the few remaining spaces where the scientific community talks to itself.' 1/3

Grateful I get to work with amazing students every day 💫
Today my undergrad course surprised me with flowers as a late PhD congrats and a thank you for being their teacher this semester – truly touched and grateful 💐
Happy to see this project out – combining the best of both worlds of cognitive & educational research! 🎉
Credit also goes to @gessunimannheim.bsky.social for bringing Samuel Wissel & me together in the first place & encouraging us to think about combining our shared interest in metacognition.
❗New publication alert 🎉
"Instructed learning strategy use eliminates negative reactivity of immediate judgments of learning“ by @franziingendahl.bsky.social and @monikaundorf.bsky.social, just published in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review.

To kick off, we’re looking back at what shaped 2025 for the Applied Cognitive Psychology Lab! 📅✨
🌟 Highlights include:
📋 Multiple published papers

Overall, our findings indicate that learning strategies might be a proximal mechanism that can explain why making JOLs causes negative reactivity but not why making JOLs results in positive reactivity.

Across six experiments, we show that changes in learning strategies mediate negative effects of predicting one's own memory for unrelated word pairs but do not contribute to explaining positive effects for related word pairs.
Happy to see the second article of my dissertation "Changes in learning strategies contribute to negative reactivity of immediate judgments of learning", coauthored by Monika Undorf, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition 🎉

📊Your unpublished data is not written up yet? ➡️ we have a survey prepared for you: singuserb06d404a.fra1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
Thank you for helping us in providing a comprehensive & representative meta-analysis on immediate JOL reactivity!
If you have any unpublished work or work published after December 2023 that might fit these criteria, we would be very grateful if you would get in contact until 12th of May 2024 🗓️
📰You have a (un)published manuscript? ➡️ email it to franziska.schaefer1@tu-darmstadt.de
We are interested in any study fulfilling the following criteria:
✅ Random manipulation of providing immediate JOLs on item-level
✅ An intentional learning task followed by a memory test
✅ No additional tasks (e.g., restudy decisions) during the study phase
CALL FOR DATA🚨
For a meta-analysis on reactivity of immediate judgments of learning (JOLs), we are seeking unpublished data and manuscripts, and articles published after December 2023 on the effects of making immediate judgments of learning on memory performance.
I had the pleasure of presenting the first article of my PhD research at Psychonomics in San Francisco this weekend (@psychonomicsociety.bsky.social). Receiving a Graduate Conference Award for this research was the icing on the cake of my first in-person attendance at Psychonomics.
