Devitt Memory and Aging Lab

The Memory and Aging Lab examines the links between the future and the past. We look at how we use memory to imagine future events, and in turn how imagination alters memory. We also explore how healthy aging influences our ability to remember past events and imagine novel scenarios.

To explore these questions, we use cognitive/behavioural methods, neuropsychological testing, and neuroimaging. 

Ultimately, by understanding how memory and imagination interact, we can develop ways of identifying memory errors, and preserving and enhancing memory accuracy and well-being across the lifespan.
