Optimal Sequences for Learning: Mechanisms and Applications

Friday, May 22, 2020 · Virtual

Oral · Methodology

How can we optimize learning? The sequence in which we study new information drives both attentional and memory processes to impact generalized learning. Applying experimental and computational methods, four talks will break down the underlying mechanisms and new directions for studying learning and generalization.
