Courtney Kurinec, Ph.D. will be presenting her seminar entitled “Exploring the effects of sleep deprivation on long‑term memory binding.” This talk will describe how impairments in decision making observed during sleep deprivation may be due to underlying issues with binding, or the ability to form new associations in memory, and will introduce a potential method for mitigating these memorial deficits. The presentation will be in person in the Spokane Academic Center room 347 and through Zoom on Thursday, June 16, 12–1 p.m.
Courtney Kurinec, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Psychology and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Translational Medicine and Physiology at Washington State University. She will be joining the Human Sleep and Cognition Laboratory of the Sleep and Performance Research Center as a Research Assistant Professor in summer 2022. Dr. Kurinec completed her Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology at Baylor University in 2019. Shortly after, she began working with the Human Sleep and Cognition Laboratory as part of her duties as a postdoctoral research fellow with the Affective and Cognitive Influences of Decisions Laboratory. Her research currently focuses on how sleep deprivation impacts components of cognition critical to memory and decision making.
We look forward to you joining us in person (SAC 347) or through Zoom!
