This was a great talk at Psychonomics, and Akira provides really useful insights on how to think about individual differences research in cognitive psychology!
At #psynom24 yesterday, I gave a 15-min presentation that some may label as a "midlife crisis" talk. I was delighted that so many people came! Thanks! A few people asked me for the slides, so I've made them available here (minus those "reflection" slides)👇

I want to draw attention to a special issue that Lila Davachi and I put together to memorialize our friend and colleague Sarah DuBrow. It’s full of papers inspired by her work and her being from a group of collaborators, friends, and fans! Thanks @bradpostle.bsky.social for helping make this happen.
