Remembering and forgetting: an introduction to context-dependent memory

This week we’ll talk about the science of memory and how contextual cues (the surrounding space in particular) can help or deter memory recall. A few points we’ll touch on: how information and events are stored and retrieved, the role of spatial navigation, why memory is volatile and unreliable, and ways to improve retention and learning. No need for prior knowledge, everyone is welcome!

Our speaker this time is Luiza Salantiu, a science and tech enthusiast with studies in Cognitive and Computer science.
