Really pleased to share that the final study from Dr Jessica Cherry’s PhD has just been published in Applied Cognitive Psychology!

A huge well done to Jessica for leading such thoughtful and methodologically challenging work!

I've really enjoyed @pepsmccrea.bsky.social 's recent 'Evidence Snacks' series on attention snacks.pepsmccrea.com and also nice to see the link in this week's snack about this interesting recent study on mindwandering in the classroom onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

New paper online now in JECP! We investigate the link between episodic future thinking and children's decision making and consider the cognitive characteristics which may help children to benefit from EFT cues.

New in the BJDP!
We examined links between #MindWandering and mood in children and found:
- Lower mood is linked to more frequent MW, echoing adolescent/adult patterns
- It also predicts past-oriented MW
- Worry may link to future-focused thoughts

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science.

Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics".

Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about".

We need to sound the alarm.
