Stanford Memory Laboratory

The Stanford Memory Laboratory is a research facility at Stanford University that studies how people acquire, retain, and recall memories. Researchers explore the cognitive processes involved in memory, investigating factors that affect memory accuracy, such as attention, suggestions, and aging. The lab conducts experiments to better understand normal memory functioning and memory-related issues, with aims to develop methods for improving memory and addressing conditions like dementia. Their work combines psychology, neuroscience, and technology to deepen our understanding of human memory and to find practical ways to enhance cognitive health.
