Ron Fishman, an undergraduate research assistant working in the Complex Memory Lab, shared his recent work today at the annual Mind, Brain, & Behavior research symposium today. Together with his mentor, Ata Karagoz, Ron analyzed recall data from participants who watched an episode of the TV sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm. He used hand-scored recall data and machine learning techniques for characterizing how memories were being retrieved. They found that older and younger adults used a similar vocabulary size overall, but that younger adults used more similar words to one another than older adults in recalling the episode. Great job, Ron!
