Memory is fundamental to all aspects of learning and behavior. It helps remind us to pick up dinner and where we left our keys; it acts as a repository for driving skills and the meaning of a stop sign; it also can incite flashbacks to an earlier car crash. How does the brain—in humans and non-humans alike—support mnemonic processes that give rise to such adaptive functions? How do these capacities develop across the lifespan, what problems arise, and what can we do to improve our memories? To begin to answer these questions, we will evaluate theories and evidence from behavioral experiments, brain-imaging methods, and studies of patients with memory disorders. Along the way, we will consider ongoing debates in the field, such as the role of memory suppression and the malleability of our memories.

A Place to Think

Lab Mission

The Memory Dynamics Lab, part of the Psychology Program at Bard College, works to harness the mechanisms responsible for adaptively retrieving, consolidating, and forgetting memories through cognitive neuroscience (including the study of human brainwaves and behavior while awake and asleep). In doing so, we aim to distill and disseminate strategies designed to help learners capitalize on these mental operations, allowing them to better remember when/what they want to remember and forget when/what they want to forget.
