 Winter, 2026, PSYCH 403 B07 Research on Enhancing Memory

(open to people from all departments/faculties/colleges)

Description: One of the most obvious goals of the study of human memory is to enhance it. There are many ideas on how to do this, but very little actual success. In this seminar-format course we will read, discuss and argue about published research on a diverse range of behavioural strategies. The goal is to understand the state of the art across all techniques, to form our own critical opinions about this work, and figure out together what needs to be done next, with primary focus on human episodic memory for arbitrary new information like randomly constructed lists.

Format: We will read articles and discuss them, led by students. A term project includes oral presentations and a final short paper proposing a compelling, novel experiment on this topic.

Pre-requisites: I am happy to waive formal pre-requisites if you have the pertinent pre-requisite knowledge:Substantial knowledge of experimental psychology of memory (such as PSYCO 350) and a good intuitive understanding of basic statistical tests, how to apply them and how to understand reports of those statistical tests. Simply having taken psychology courses previously is not a firm requirement. Note that for qualified students from other departments, Psychology course pre-requisites might be waived (consult the Instructor). Try out this self-quiz to assess your preparedness for this course or identify areas to read up on (if most of these are hard work, the course will be more challenging than necessary):

• Sketch a graph (fully labelled) of your favourite memory experimental result and explain how the plot supports the researchers' conclusions.
• Explain what a hypothesis is, and how it differs from a topic, an expectation or a research question.
• What does a t test actually test?
• When do you need to use an ANOVA?
• What is a Pearson correlation? What does it mean if a correlation is positive, zero or negative?
• What is a p value and how does it relate to false positives and false negatives?
