In the Psychology Department at the University of Arizona, the Human Memory Lab aims to understand how the brain forms and retrieves memories, and how memory works with other aspects of cognition.

We are trying to uncover how memory and cognition change 1) in typical, healthy older age, 2) in response to age-related diseases, and 3) as a result of brain injuries.

We want to improve assessment of cognitive issues and we aspire to create interventions to protect cognition.
