Abstract

Inter-individual differences in memory impairment and underlying neural integrity in aging are well known. I will discuss the malleable factors, including sleep quality, depressive symptomology, and social determinants of health (e.g., discrimination stress, religiosity) that serve as mediators and moderators of individual differences in memory impairment, decline, and neural underpinnings.

Abstract

Responsive caregiver-infant interactions are vital for child development, yet current understanding is constrained by the inability to manipulate infant behaviour. I will describe initial studies with an interactive digital simulation of a human child designed to overcome this barrier and highlight additional ways this tool could advance Developmental Science.
