The Faculty of Psychology, in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine at Gunadarma University, held an international seminar on “Human Cognition in the Digital Era: Memory, Digital Reading, and Immersive Learning,” featuring expert speakers from Université Bourgogne Europe and Universitas Gunadarma.
This event was held both offline at the Auditorium of Campus F8, Gunadarma University, and online via Zoom meeting on Tuesday, September 9, 2025. Seminar participants consisted of lecturers, students, and other participants from outside of Universitas Gunadarma.
An Overview of the International Seminar
The digital age has brought fundamental changes to the way humans think, learn, and interact. Therefore, these shifts and developments raise important questions about human cognition in its interaction with the latest technologies.
This seminar was held to present the latest research findings to enrich our understanding of how the brain adapts to the digital environment, while also highlighting the challenges and opportunities that exist.
The seminar featured three speakers. The first speaker is Professor Annie Vinter from Université Bourgogne Europe, with the topic of discussion being Memorizing object locations in adults: The role of adaptive-relevant information. On this occasion, Prof. Vinter discussed digital memory through tablets. Specifically, this research shows that in adult subjects, both living entities and entities that act as threats significantly improve memory location abilities in humans.
The second speaker was Professor Thierry Baccino from Université Bourgogne Europe, with the topic Reading on Digital Devices. On this occasion, Prof. Baccino explained the importance of perception, attention, and individual text comprehension to encourage re-evaluation of how the brain processes information in different formats.
The third speaker was drg. Rena Fuji Erin Setyawati, M. Med. Ed Universitas Gunadarma, who discussed Immersive Learning in Medical Education for Shaping Future Doctors. On this occasion, drg. Rena explained the importance of understanding and optimizing the interaction between humans and technology, particularly in education. The development of cutting-edge technology—in this case, extended reality (XR)—for education needs to consider not only its technical capabilities but also the cognitive characteristics and learning styles of the current generation. It is hoped that this seminar will increase understanding of the concept of human cognition and its relationship to the use of digital technology, particularly in relation to memory, digital reading, and immersive learning.
Universitas Gunadarma along with a number of other private universities and in collaboration with Lembaga Layanan Pendidikan Tinggi (LLDikti) Wilayah III enter into a Cooperation Agreement that states a commitment to the swift and comprehensive prevention and handling of violence in higher education institutions. This collaboration is expected to be an effort in creating a safe, comfortable, inclusive, and violence-free environment in higher education institutions.
This agreement ensured the uniformity in commitment, strategy, and standards for assisting victims of violence across all universities in the region of LLDIKTI III. This is also in line with Permendikbudristek Nomor 55 Tahun 2024 about Satuan Tugas Pencegahan dan Penanganan Kekerasan di lingkungan Perguruan Tinggi (Satgas PPKPT) (The task force aim to prevent and handle violence in higher education institutions) which explain that every university has a responsibility to provide protection, assistance, and recovery for victims of violence.
The private universities that are involved in this agreement is divided into three groups of areas that focus on protection, assistance, and recovery, namely health, psychology, and legal aid. Universitas Gunadarma itself is involved in one of the mentioned aspects, namely in the field of Psychology.

About FIBAA
FIBAA (Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation) is an accreditation agency with a mission to support transparency and quality in the education sector, particularly at the undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels. FIBAA focuses on academic evaluation and content-based evaluation of study programs, particularly those leading to bachelor’s and master’s degrees, as well as institutional accreditation of higher education institutions in Germany and internationally.
FIBAA accreditation provides detailed information and feedback with objective evidence regarding the quality of study programs by evaluating five main areas, namely study program objectives, standards and procedures for accepting new students, content, structure and didactic concepts of study programs, academic environment and framework standards, as well as quality assurance, quality development and documentation of this assurance. In these areas, FIBAA places special emphasis on internationality, alignment with current labor market needs, and economic relevance.
With this international accreditation status, hopefully the Psychology and Communication Study Programs will continue to grow and remain relevant, both nationally and internationally. Additionally, this evaluation process is expected to serve as a foundation for us all to maintain what is already good, improve what is lacking, and encourage the development of various potentials within our academic community to become even better.
