CAREER: Testing mechanistic theories underlying stimulus memorability — NSF Award to University of Chicago (IL, $346,803)
While all humans have unique experiences and memories, surprisingly a lot of what is remembered is similar across people. For example, when seeing a group of people for the first time, some names and faces may easily stick in memory, while others fade away even after several meetings. Indeed, recent work has found that

| Abstract | While all humans have unique experiences and memories, surprisingly a lot of what is remembered is similar across people. For example, when seeing a group of people for the first time, some names and faces may easily stick in memory, while others fade away even after several meetings. Indeed, recent work has found that images, voices, and words have an inherent memorability—where some are more easily remembered than others, across people. This universality in memory means that one can make honed |
