Actually, look at learning research. Memory research can be very very distracting.
What I've learnt is that you *shouldn't* read neuroscience. You want the right level of abstraction. So: neuroscience is too low level, whereas brain function is often useful.

“The right level of abstraction” is *great* advice.
On my own I did find the chunking model via Barbara Oakley work. Which I believe u covered somewhere.
Any other examples of brain function research?

Apologies I meant examples of learning research and brain function research

Well, I'm currently interested in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, because emotion regulation is a superpower in an age of knowledge work. And I also want to do a *proper* summary of burnout research — there's a 2016 survey paper by Maslach, but I'm curious to see developments.

You probably have this in your pile of research papers to look at
On the off chance you don’t
I found this in my kindle highlights

Odd. That is NOT the predominant view that I am aware of. (Taste test: is it just one paper that’s quoted? Is it a meta analysis? If yes to the former and no to the latter, the author is probably wrong).

Apologies. I am still layman. So not sure what's a meta analysis. this is the paper lib-edpsy.alzahra.ac.ir/documents/1015 How do I tell whether it's a meta analysis?

and yes, the point abt depression and burnout being the same was from this one paper. This is the full blown page for better context. I still hunting for the citations from Malach and Kranz in the same page about burnout due to wrong fit.

A meta analysis is a study of studies. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta-anal
The cited paper is an individual study. Author asserts they are the same. I am quite certain Maslach does NOT think that burnout == clinical depression. She makes no mention in her 2016 survey paper.

Sorry if I sound annoying. I had myself tested before on the big5 and I score above average for being disagreeable. heh.
makes no mention in her 2016 survey paper != think they are different
Am I wrong?

Yeah that’s certainly possible. I’ll need to read more. My understanding is that Bianchi et all’s paper asserts that “burnout == depression”, so therefore why bother with a separate construct?
Maslach’s career is built around burnout as it’s own construct.
(Sorry for sounding terse btw, am trying to work inside Twitter’s word limits)

>career is built around burnout as own construct
so 🤔 out loud, what if Maslach didn't question possibility tt burnout, a legitimate cultural phenomenon, does not confer any medical benefit by being treated separately from depression?
Esp whn assumption benefits her career

Of cse, 🤔 out loud again, questioning the norm "burnout != depression" benefits Bianchi et al.
Occam's razor leans towards Bianchi.
