Edward Tulving

Edward Tulving was a prominent Canadian psychologist known for his groundbreaking research on human memory. He introduced and distinguished between different types of memory, particularly emphasizing episodic memory (remembering personal experiences) and semantic memory (knowledge about facts and concepts). His work helped us understand how memories are formed, stored, and retrieved, contributing significantly to cognitive psychology. Tulving's research has influenced fields like education, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, shedding light on how we learn and remember information. His legacy continues to shape our understanding of memory and its complexities.
