Happy publication day to first author @ewanmurray.bsky.social! A lot of hard work by Ewan went into this, so it is great to see if fully published.

Someone in my dept. made a data wrangling in Gorilla tutorial back in 2020, if that helps with any inspiration for the gorilla side of things: emljames.github.io/GorillaR/Gor...
I think Gorilla can combine all the questionnaires for you now, so maybe Big 5, demo Qs and a simple task like digit span would make different files you’d have to combine? There’s lots of open source tasks you could use for the example to set it up quick app.gorilla.sc/openmaterials
A couple of months ago they put out an option to have all the tasks go to a single file - which makes it a bit easier! But, still needs plenty of wrangling - I wouldn’t want to do it by hand
Maybe Qualtrics versus Gorilla would be a good comparison of wrangling data in a wide versus long format? Could show how to change between the two
Congrats!! 🎉
Me and Steven in front of a big NUS sign. Lush greenery, stereotypical of the campus, surround the sign.

A picture of the best ramen I ever had. Spent my evening googling best ramen in Singapore, I found this guy who goes round hundreds in Sg and Japan - he uses a machine to measure salt levels and “brix” which is a measure of the amount of dissolved solids in a liquid to test for quality.

Landed back in the UK. Definitely learnt a lot working with Steven Pan’s lab on our pretesting project. Also, managed to eat exceptionally well on a budget in the Hawker Centres too!
Thanks for sharing Jeremy!! Your lab website really nicely designed! Clicking “reinstate context” to get back to the top of the page is a great touch 😂
Congrats!!
No help sorry, but I hope you get some good suggestions! I’ve wanted to reimplement some of the classic models to get a better understanding, but never found any easy to access datasets - my few emails asking for data “available upon request” always read unanswered too 😅
Memory-sky: I'm going to be teaching a new (open!) grad course in the spring, where we read about and implement some memory models (and ideally for them to some small datasets). Looking for suggestions to include!
I could go "classic" (Hopfield nets, SAM, TCM, etc.), or "modern" with newer stuff 🤔
I had an old copy of the the brothers karamazov that had a few of kind of pages, I didn’t know what was going on. Couldn’t bring myself to cut them so I just read them at a really weird angle 😅
A black and white cat lies lazily in a sunbeam outside the NUS Psychology department
Having a great time on a EPS study visit to the National University of Singapore - this cat is permanently chilling outside the Psychology building - many signs saying not to feed him as he’s getting too chonky
Call for teachers to participate in online survey: My dissertation student is exploring the experiences of Additional Support Needs (ASN) teachers on using learning strategies in everyday classrooms. Survey takes 30 minutes and is anonymous.

I audited Mike’s Models & modelling in science & technology course it was really great!
I really enjoyed talking to all three! A lot of great work being done in your lab!
Psychonomics was awesome! Now just gotta fit two musicals into my final afternoon in NYC
It was great to meet you too! Your poster was really interesting!
A picture of me next to my poster entitled: more steps same effect spacing increases the retention of mathematics procedures of varying complexity
A picture of me explaining my poster
Had an amazing time presenting my poster at Psychonomics! A lot of interesting conversations!! I met so many people doing really great research

I’m afraid I’ll be no help unless you need someone to throw out phrases like”did you see that ludicrous display last night” and “the problem with Scotland is they always try to walk it in” m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sask...
I’d like to be added!
Really looking forward to attending Psychonomics for the first time next week! I’d love to talk to anyone interested the #spacing, #testing or #pretesting effects or more generally #memory and #learning at my poster!

@psychonomicsociety.bsky.social
Thanks!
Hi Jeff, I’d love to be added to the list!
Thanks!!
Submitted my first paper today and released it as a preprint! Murray, E., Goebel, S. M., & @aidanhorner.bsky.social (2024). More Steps, Same Effect: Spacing Increases the Retention of Mathematics Procedures of Varying Complexity. doi.org/10.31234/osf...
Great list! Linking your first and last two points, I found it useful to explicitly let students know that retrieval practice can (and should be) effortful. It might feel difficult, but the more effort you have to expend the more effective it will be in the long run.
Congrats!!
