David E. Schacter

David E. Schacter is a renowned psychologist and expert in memory research. He has extensively studied how humans encode, store, and retrieve memories, as well as common errors and distortions. His work explores the ways our brain's memory system can sometimes produce false or misleading recollections, and he investigates the differences between remembering and imagining. Schacter's insights help us understand both the strengths and vulnerabilities of human memory, contributing to fields like cognitive psychology and neuroscience, and informing practices in areas like eyewitness testimony and memory disorders.
