Newsletter December 2022

Dear Members and Colleagues,

1-12-closecrop
The success of our recent kick-off in Schorfheide marks the beginning of the SFB's second funding period. For those of you who could not make it, there will be many more chances during project-specific, collaborative meetings to come. One of these is already March 20-21, 2023, when our 3rd annual Berlin-Bochum Memory Alliance Symposium will be held in Berlin. But before then, we look forward to seeing many of you in person at the SFB1315 lecture of Markus Werkle-Bergner on December 13 at 4 pm at BCCN.

On behalf of Matthew, Richard and the Steering Committee, as well as the SFB's Z team, we wish you peaceful and healthy holidays and all the very best for 2023.

Data is Not Neutral: Gender and Generalizability in Research Methodology

Dec 8, 2022 Ι 2–4 pm Ι Register by December 5, 2022 metis-online@hu-berlin.de

In this year’s METIS Lecture, Professor Kate Clancy and Professor Jenny Davis will offer case studies across several disciplines to show how gender and sex are entangled, and enrich scholarly study. They will then suggest several queer feminist interventions into problem definition, data collection, and data interpretation towards a broader recognition of how all data are relevant ...

Charting the ontogeny of memory specificity and generalization across childhood

Dec 13, 2022 | 16:00 CET | BCCN Lecture Hall Philippstraße 13 Haus 6, 10115 Berlin
Adaptive memories are formed in the face of a fundamental tension: extracting commonalities across experiences to generate novel inferences (i.e., generalization) while simultaneously forming separate representations of similar events (i.e., memory specificity). During childhood, this tension is amplified through the uneven progression of generalization and memory specificity. In particular, it is not well understood how children manage to consolidate both generalized and specific memories. Computational memory models suggest that specific experiences are initially encoded as hippocampus-dependent episodic memories and slowly become amenable to generalization through consolidation – typically facilitated by post-learning sleep...
