This course provides students with a foundation in the science of memory. Riding a bike, recounting your high school graduation, and finding your keys are all expressions of memory. Memory’s feats, though impressive, are accompanied by glaring failures in many everyday situations (and amplified in extremes such as amnesia). This course provides an explanation of memory’s role in everyday situations and across professions (e.g., medicine, law, education), with an additional focus on how science is translated to the public.
