SUMMARY:Grace Hopper Distinguished Lecture: "How Memory Guides Value-Based Decisions" (Daphna Shohamy\, Columbia University)
DESCRIPTION:This distinguished lecture will be a hybrid event held in the Glandt Forum (Singh Center) and via Zoom. A light reception will follow the live lecture. \nZoom link \nPasscode: 704696 \n“How Memory Guides Value-Based Decisions” \nFrom robots to humans\, the ability to learn from experience turns a rigid response system into a flexible\, adaptive one. In the past several decades\, major advances have been made in understanding how humans and other animals learn from experience to make decisions. However\, most of this progress has focused on rather simple forms of stimulus-response learning\, such as automatic responses or habits. In this talk\, I will turn to consider how past experience guides more complex decisions\, such as those requiring flexible reasoning\, inference\, and deliberation. Across a range of behavioral contexts\, I will demonstrate a critical role for memory in such decisions and will discuss how multiple brain regions interact to support learning\, what this means for how memories are used\, and the consequences for how decisions are made. Uncovering the pervasive role of memory in decision-making challenges the way we think about what memory is for\, suggesting that memory’s primary purpose may be to guide future behavior and that storing a record of the past is just one way to do so. \nIn support of its educational mission of promoting the role of all engineers in society\, the School of Engineering and Applied Science presents the Grace Hopper Lecture Series. This series is intended to serve the dual purpose of recognizing successful women in engineering and of inspiring students to achieve at the highest level. Grace Hopper is a wonderful example of a visionary in her field who exhibited the type of pioneering spirit that is an inspiration to all of us. \nIn support of the accomplishments of women in engineering\, departments within the School invite a prominent speaker to campus for a visit that incorporates a public lecture\, various mini-talks and opportunities to interact with students and faculty. This series provides another avenue for recognition of distinguished leaders in engineering and presents role models that help remind all of us why we chose this profession.
