Memory Development Lab at YorkU

We have a new study open to families in Canada and the USA. It can be done online (via Zoom) and you would be helping us learn about child and adolescent memory - info we hope will be directly useful in legal/forensic settings. Kids have fun, you can listen to the fascinating things they say about their memories for parent-selected events, and help advance science at the same time. Families receive $30 e-gift card (and other thank yous). Go to childmemorystudy.com. Please share widely!

Our lab is recruiting for an online study with children 7, 8, 11 and 12 years old. Families receive a $10 e-gift card; open to families in Canada or USA only. Please share widely. For more info, please go to study website link:

Our lab is recruiting for a new online study for children. This study is being lead by our awesome graduate student Tida. Please consider participating and share widely! Study website link: https://t.co/2mSkFXajhH

New study from our lab officially out! We examined children's memory for "real-world" events. Thanks to all the wonderful families that volunteered to participate and thanks to the awesome Learning and Engagement Branch at the Toronto Zoo. Congrats to graduate student Lina on her first published study! Thanks

Time and our ability to remember ‘what happened when’ is critical for our daily functioning. In one line of work, our lab studies how children remember ‘what happened when’ and how this is related to brain development. So we are excited to share our new paper in the journal Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience.

Thanks to the awesome children and families that participated in this research! Without you this would not be possible.

Examining the development of memory for temporal context and its underlying neural processes using event-related potentials Time is a critical feature of episodic memory—memory for events from a specific time and place (Tulving, 1972). Previous research indicates that tempo…
