Signy Sheldon is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at McGill University, specializing in cognitive and behavioral neuroscience. Her research focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms of episodic memory, including how the hippocampus and related structures support memory retrieval, imagination, and problem-solving. She also explores how aging and individual differences influence memory processes.
Sheldon uses behavioral experiments, neuroimaging (fMRI), and patient studies to investigate memory's role in non-mnemonic functions like creativity and decision-making. Her work highlights the interplay between memory and broader cognitive abilities, such as schema formation and context processing.
She leads the Sheldon Memory Lab, which employs multidisciplinary approaches to study memory's neural underpinnings. Though no specific awards are listed, her extensive publications reflect her contributions to memory science. No advising or grant details are provided in the text.
Research interests span episodic memory, cognitive aging, neuroimaging, and the application of NLP to memory narratives. Her lab's work often addresses translational questions, such as using memory reconstruction to address clinical issues like social anxiety.
