DMG Lecture: ‘The Psychology of Memory’ by Professor Steve Joordens



Award-winning University of Toronto Professor Steve Joordens speaks to the themes of memory, recollection and nostalgia found in the Doris McCarthy Gallery exhibition ‘Melanie Rocan: Souvenir involontaire’ (November 7, 2012 – January 26, 2013).

A cognitive psychologist whose primary research interests focus on the interaction between conscious and unconscious memory processes, Joordens’ talk highlights the role that certain retrieval cues can play in terms of “involuntarily” resurrecting past memories, whether we like them or not!

Exhibition curated by Ann MacDonald and organized in partnership with the Kenderdine Art Gallery and Plug In ICA. Supported by the Toronto Arts Council, Manulife Financial and the Canada Council for the Arts.

  1. RADICAL BEHAVIORISM & COGNITIVE MENTALISM

    Nice lecture. Now your assignment for today, should you chose to accept it, is to watch the first half of this video (before he starts digging into the brain) and do a radical behavior analysis of the impressive data he's talking about, probably using our concepts such as rule-governed behavior, direct-acting behavioral contingencies, behavioral chaining, discriminative stimuli, etc. Successful completion or even a half-assed attempt and posted in the comment area is worth up to 5 cool points, exchangeable for love and respect, world wide.

  2. People who intend to put lectures up on YouTube must learn how to record without the horrible echo that dominates this lecture. This is insulting both to the lecturer and to the audience.
