Research Showcase – Learning, Memory and the Ageing Brain
June 10 @ 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm
How do prior knowledge and new experiences shape the way we learn. And what happens to these processes as we age or develop dementia.
This livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work, methods, and ideas.
In this session, Dr Dorothy Tse will present her research on how prior knowledge and novelty influence learning and memory formation. Her work explores how these processes are affected by ageing and dementia, and how they relate to changes in brain function.
Dorothy develops behavioural paradigms that bridge animal and human research, supporting translational approaches to understanding memory. Alongside this, she works with community organisations and charities to co create projects that promote healthy ageing and brain health.
Dorothy is a Reader in Cognitive Neuroscience at Edge Hill University, specialising in learning, memory, and translational neuroscience.
Attendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion.
