Schacter\, Harvard University\n\n With a h igh-level panel of leaders in science\, technology\, on-the-ground action\ , investment\, and policy\n\n Register & watch the webinar\n\n  \n\n Adaptive constructive processes play a functional role in cognition but can also p roduce distortions or errors as a consequence of doing so. According to th e constructive episodic simulation hypothesis\, simulation of future and o ther hypothetical experiences depends importantly on episodic retrieval pr ocesses that allow individuals to draw on the past in a manner that flexib ly extracts and re-combines elements of previous experiences\, but these p rocesses may also be responsible for specific kinds of memory errors. This talk will consider both cognitive and neural evidence from studies of epi sodic remembering\, memory distortion\, future imagining\, and divergent c reative thinking that reveal the operation of adaptive constructive proces ses and provide clues concerning their nature and function.\n\n About the s peaker\n\n Daniel L. Schacter is William R. Kenan\, Jr. Professor of Psycho logy at Harvard University. Schacter received his PhD from the University of Toronto in 1981. He remained there until joining the faculty at the Uni versity of Arizona in 1987\, and Harvard University in 1991. Schacter’s re search has explored the relation between explicit and implicit memory\, th e nature of memory distortions\, how individuals use memory to imagine fut ure events\, and the effects of aging on memory\, resulting in over 400 pu blications. Schacter has received numerous awards for his re- search\, inc luding the Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award from the American Psychological Association\, William James Fellow Award from the Associatio n for Psychological Science\, and Distinguished Career Contributions Award from the Cognitive Neuroscience Society. He has been elected to the Ameri can Academy of Arts and Sciences and National Academy of Sciences. Schacte r has authored several books\, including Searching for Memory (1996) and T he Seven Sins of Memory (2001)\, both named as New York Times Notable Book s of the Year\, and both winners of the American Psychological Association ’s William James Book Award. He recently completed an updated\, 20th anniv ersary edition of The Seven Sins of Memory.\n\n \n About the series\n\n The P recision Convergence series is launched to catalyze unique synergy between \, on the one hand\, novel partnerships across sciences\, sectors and juri sdictions around targeted domains of real-world solutions\, and on the oth er hand\, a next generation convergence of AI with advanced research compu ting and other data and digital architectures such as PSC’s Bridges-2\, an d supporting data sharing frameworks such as HuBMAP\, informing in a real time as possible the design\, deployment and monitoring of solutions for a daptive real-world behavior and context.\n\n The Precision Convergence Webi nar Series is co-hosted by The 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Centre for the Convergence of Health and Economics (MCCHE) at 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ and The Pittsburgh Supercomput ing Center\, a joint computational research center between Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh.\n \n \n\n DTSTART:20220119T160000Z DTEND:20220119T180000Z SUMMARY:Precision Convergence Webinar Series with Dr. Daniel L.
