Dynamic Interactions between Learning and Memory across the Lifespan

Friday, May 24, 2024 · San Francisco, CA

Oral · Developmental

Across the lifespan, attention, learning and memory processes support the use of past experiences to guide adaptive behavior. In this symposium, we present new work that highlights the dynamic nature of these processes, focusing on how attention, learning and memory interact and change from childhood to older adulthood.
