 We are happy to announce that our recent study, Study choices and inference in an acquired equivalence task, has been accepted for publication in the journal Cognition. In this study, we examined how healthy young adults behaved when given the chance to make choices about what information to re-study after an initial learning phase. What's more, the study materials were a little unusual because there were relationships between items that participants could infer. We wondered whether participants would detect the relationships among study items and try to confirm them during the study phase. The results were not what we were expecting!
Here is a link to the full paper, and look out for a video summary of the findings in the coming months! The CABI Lab volunteered with UWM's Make a Difference Day, helping area seniors clean up leaves in their yards and prepare for the winter. It was cold but the raking kept us warm!
CABI lab members Sophia and Dilara (now a PhD student at Colorado State with Dr. Carol Seger) presented their work this last weekend at the meeting for the Upper Midwest Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience. UWM professor Neal Morton also represented our Neuroscience PhD program in the grad school panel. Great work all!
Lab director, Dr. Caitlin Bowman, recently returned from a trip to Montreal, QC where she presented to the Memory Disorders Research Society about the lab's work on using memory to make inferences in older age. It was a great conference full of memory experts from around the world. The croissants were great too!
You can hear more about the project Cait presented about here. PhD student Kana Kimura recently taught a course through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute on healthy aging. She got this teaching opportunity through the new OLLI Scholars program. Look out for more courses taught by UWM students throughout the coming year. Congrats to Kana!
 We have created a Youtube channel to keep you updated on the progress of our research. It's pretty sparse at the moment, but we plan to create new videos whenever we have a new paper published with the results of that study. Subscribe if you'd like to be notified of those updates!
The CABI Lab took part in the 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer's Disease here in Milwaukee. It was a beautiful day, and it was great to be out with our neighbors to raise awareness about this disease. Thanks to Cara Charles for organizing on behalf of our lab and the Student Gerontology Association at UWM! For more information about the Alzheimer's Association visit alz.org.
