May 26, 1927 - September 11, 2023
A Canadian icon and major international figure in experimental psychology, Tulving’s theories have provided the foundation for the whole field of memory research. By revealing multiple kinds of memory, Dr. Tulving caused a paradigm shift in memory research that remains widely accepted to this day. His work has not rested on theoretical shelves but has led to an increased understanding of neurological disorders such as stroke and Alzheimer’s disease.
May his name forever bloom in the garden of history, as his extraordinary contributions to the field unfurl like vibrant petals, capturing the hearts and minds of generations to come.
