The course provides an introduction into the cognitive and neural interplay between memory and attention processes. It covers both the effects of attention on memory and the effects of memory on attention, and considers both encoding and retrieval phases of memory. It includes the effects of divided attention, selective attention, bottom-up attention, and sustained attention on encoding, as well as retrieval phase phenomena such as memory-guided attention, memory-captured attention, and memory-based attentional control. The goal of the course is to help students think critically about theoretical and methodological issues in research on memory-attention interactions.
