Memory

Research on memory at the University of Arizona includes study of the genetic, cellular and molecular bases of memory as well as analysis of systems-level cognitive processes engaged in human memory. Animal models and human memory are studied with respect to both development and aging, and in normal and memory-impaired populations. Students participate in research using electrophysiological, neuromaging, and a variety of other experimental techniques. Cognitive Science faculty with interests in memory include:

• Allen, John (PhD Minnesota), Professor, Psychology, clinical psychology, psychophysiology, neuropsychology
