Paul Tulving

Paul Tulving is a prominent Canadian psychologist known for his groundbreaking work in understanding human memory. He introduced key concepts such as "episodic memory," which refers to our ability to recall personal experiences and specific events, and "semantic memory," which involves general knowledge and facts. Tulving's research has significantly influenced how we think about memories, helping to distinguish between different types of memory processes. His insights have deepened our understanding of how we remember and the ways in which our memories shape our identity and experiences.
