John J. Wixted

John J. Wixted is a distinguished psychologist and neuroscientist known for his research on memory and learning. His work explores how the brain forms, maintains, and retrieves memories, particularly focusing on the processes underlying recognition memory and the distinction between familiarity and recollection. Wixted's studies help us understand how memories can be accurate or distorted and how different brain regions contribute to these processes. His research has important implications for understanding memory-related conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease, and contributes to developing better strategies for memory improvement and rehabilitation.
