Characterizing representational shaping of individual motor and object representations after sequence learning Open
Learning temporal regularities between pairs of events has been shown to shape neural representations in the medial temporal lobe, but it remains unclear whether representational changes generalize across memory domains. Here we used fMRI …

Semantic priming modulates the strength and direction of the Kanizsa illusion Open
Visual illusions are considered key examples for cognitive impenetrability, as they are held not to be affected by non-perceptual processes. We revisit this claim in five experiments (N = 1148; four preregistered) focused on the Kanizsa il…

Responsible Design, Integration, and Use of Generative AI in Mental Health Open
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) shows potential for personalized care, psychoeducation, and even crisis prediction in mental health, yet responsible use requires ethical consideration and deliberation and perhaps even governance…

The reach of reactivation: Effects of consciously triggered versus unconsciously triggered reactivation of associative memory Open
Consolidating memories for long-term storage depends on reactivation. Reactivation occurs both consciously, during wakefulness, and unconsciously, during wakefulness and sleep. While considerable work has examined conscious awake and uncon…

The reach of reactivation: Effects of consciously-triggered versus unconsciously-triggered reactivation of associative memory Open
Newly formed memories are not passively stored for future retrieval; rather, they are reactivated offline and thereby strengthened and transformed. However, reactivation is not a uniform process: it occurs throughout different states of co…

The effect of context on the acquisition of two separate motor sequences: the potential downside of segmentation Open
Context plays a crucial role in episodic memory encoding retrieval. However, its influence on implicit motor learning is less clear. Here, we tested whether contextual information would facilitate acquisition of two overlapping sequences. …

Oculomotor anticipation reveals a multitude of learning processes underlying the serial reaction time task Open
Sequence learning is the cognitive faculty enabling everyday skill acquisition. In the lab, it is typically measured in speed of response to sequential stimuli, whereby faster responses are taken to indicate improved anticipation. However,…

The Effect of Cognitive Load on Visual Statistical Learning Open
In times of limited resources or stress, not only behavior changes, but modes of memory and learning change as well. Under cognitive load, learning is biased towards a habitual "model-free" mode, rather than a goal-directed and more flexib…
