-Overview-

The research in this lab seeks to investigate how memory changes and to investigate techniques for memory improvement.

As memory seems to get worse with age, our research focuses on what kind of information is well remembered versus poorly remembered. 

It also examines theories for why this differs in younger and older adults.
