DESCRIPTION:\nWhen and Where: \nWednesday, October 09, 2024 12:15 pm to 1
 :30 pm \n 560A \n Sidney Smith Hall \n 100 St. George Street \n\nSpeakers 
 \nErik Wing, Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest \n\nDescription: \nHow
  does our accumulated knowledge and experience shape the way we perceive,
  learn, and remember? My research explores this question through the lens
  of expertise, focusing on the architecture of cognitive and neural repre
 sentations. In this talk, I will discuss: 1) work with expert birdwatcher
 s, examining how concept abstraction influences different aspects of memo
 ry 2) new approaches to quantifying variation in conceptual knowledge by c
 onnecting cognitive measures with ecological data in a large online study 
 3) neuroimaging research examining how expertise changes brain microstruct
 ure and alters the trajectory of new learning, allowing for the rapid inc
 orporation of new concepts into existing cortical networks. I hope to high
 light the power of real-world expertise in addressing fundamental neurocog
 nitive questions, demonstrate how citizen science can play a role in psyc
 hological research, and suggest ways that prior knowledge might support m
 emory function throughout the lifespan.  \n100 St. George Street \n\nCateg
