Speak, Memory
This roundtable will examine how advances in memory research can deepen our understanding of the role memory plays in normal development and in shaping lived experience, while also informing efforts to address memory impairment in an aging population. It will further consider how dialogue between scientific researchers and practitioners of memory can foster mutual insights into the mechanisms, limits, and cultivation of memory across contexts.
