Changes in our feelings, or "affective surprise," may act as a learning signal that influences what we remember. Large magnitude deviations in experienced valence during encoding relate to better long-term associative memory.
The Aging & Development training program at WashU has an opening for a postdoc!

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.
Hot off the presses! Our new chapter “Decision-Making in the Aging Brain: An Update of the Evidence Base for the “Affect-Integration-Motivation” Framework” in

Recently I (& @richardfbetzel.bsky.social et al.) asked how much does functional connectivity change (i.e., reconfigure) between rest and narrative movie-watching in young and older adults? And does that relate to how well people understood those narratives? Answers here: doi.org/10.1093/cerc...
I'm looking for a new Lab Manager to join me, my amazing incoming PhD students @isabellafavalos.bsky.social and @maceygrisso.bsky.social, and our fantastic undergraduate RAs in the Emotional Lives Lab at UC Riverside.
Sharing would be much appreciated!

May 16th is international Chartreuse day! Your assignment for tonight is to drink a Last Word, Bijou, or Naked & Famous cocktail. If you’d like to know WHY today we celebrate one of the oldest and most special spirits in the world, here’s me rambling about it back in 2020.
I spend a lot of time disparaging those who are failing us in this moment - but today I want to shine a light on all of those who are helping to make the threats to science and universities legible for other scientists and the public🧪 1/
I’m hiring! 👀 for a Lab Manager starting in June. Apply by May 2 for full consideration.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Remember what your partner said during a heated argument? Or the rush of getting your first job offer? Why do these emotionally arousing moments stick? Across 3 studies, and 3 arousal measures, we found that emotional arousal enhances memory encoding by promoting functional integration in the 🧠 1/🧵
