In Honor Of...
Honoring scientists who have made important and lasting contributions to the behavioral and brain sciences.

Endel Tulving, PhD
Tanenbaum Chair, Cognitive Neuroscience
Rotman Research Institute of Baycrest, Toronto

Endel Tulving holds the Tanenbaum Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience at the Rotman Research Institute of Baycrest Centre in Toronto, and is the Clark Way Distinguished Visiting Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience at Washington University in St. Louis. Tulving received his PhD in experimental psychology from Harvard University in 1957, and was a faculty member at the University of Toronto for most of the subsequent 35 years.  He also served on the faculty at Yale University from 1970-1975.

For nearly half a century, Tulving’s seminal ideas and findings have had a major impact on psychological and neurobiological studies of human memory, including his research on the importance of retrieval processes during the 1960s, proposal of the encoding specificity principle and the distinction between episodic and semantic memory during the 1970s, and observations concerning the brain substrates of memory systems in the 1980s and 1990s. During the past decade, Tulving has played a leading role in the rapidly evolving field of brain imaging of memory processes.

Tulving’s work has been recognized by many awards and honors, including the Warren Medal from the Society of Experimental Psychologists (1982), Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the American Psychological Association (1983),  Killam Prize in Health Sciences (1994), Gairdner International Award (2005), and election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1986) and National Academy of Sciences (1988).
