A huge thank-you to the @wmsymposium.bsky.social community. The questions, interpretations, and feedback we received in the summer were incredibly valuable and helped shape this project. So-so grateful for such an engaged and supportive community. ✨ n/n

💡The preprint's main take-home message: Even brief, task-relevant information we hold for a moment can reshape how and what we remember later, which constitutes a new pathway of interference in long-term memory. 3/n

Across two experiments we show that information held briefly in working memory can interfere with recently formed long-term memories. The interference is strong enough that people sometimes report the working-memory location instead of the long-term memory one. 2/n
