The programme featured a wide array of proffered poster presentations, previewed in 1-minute ‘lightning talk’ videos broadcast immediately before the morning and afternoon virtual poster sessions, in which delegates were able to interact with poster presenters. Through an online voting system, delegates indicated their favourite poster from each session, with Katerina receiving the Best Poster prize for the morning session on her poster Systematic review and meta-analysis of working memory updating training effects on task performance and neuroimaging measures in adults.
