From one piece Putting Together the Puzzle of Adaptive Constructive Memory: Q&A with Daniel Schacter (Cognitive Neuroscience Society) 2 beliefs, in the piece's order there

Memory research is broadening to how memory shapes future thinking, problem solving, decision making and creativity, and the trend is likely to continue

creativity

Their words

In my own lab and in the field more generally, I think that we are seeing a focus on memory not just as a means of retrieving past experiences and stored knowledge, but also an increasing interest in how various forms of memory impact a range of cognitive and affective functions, including future thinking, scene construction, problem solving, decision making, emotion regulation, and creativity. I think that this broadens considerably the domain of memory research, and is a trend that I expect to continue in the future.

Flexibly recombining past experiences should help in imagining the future, because the future rarely repeats the past exactly

Their words

This kind of flexible retrieval and recombination should be adaptive for purposes of thinking about the future because the future is rarely an exact repetition of the past – we want to be able to simulate novel upcoming events in light of our past experiences.

Amid the focus on reproducibility and rigor, surprise and excitement still count as key elements of a career in psychological science

metascience

Their words

In these times of justified focus on important issues related to reproducibility, rigor, and open science, we would do well to remember that surprise and excitement still count as key elements of a career in psychological science.

Over a long career it is important to try to treat failures and rejections as teaching signals

Their words

Those experiences are rarely pleasant, and can be demoralizing, but to sustain over the long-term I think it is important to try to view them as sources of teaching signals.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
