Inside the Memory Lab: Why We Forget and How We Remember | U of T PhD Candidate Matthew Dougherty

Ever wonder why you forget the oat milk at the grocery store, even though you were thinking about it all day?

In this episode of the Smart Growth Rocket Podcast, host Francesca Cadhit sits down with Matthew Dougherty, a PhD Candidate in Psychology (Perception, Cognition, & Cognitive Neuroscience) at the University of Toronto, to explore the fascinating (and sometimes frustrating) science of memory.

🎧 ▶ We dig into:

✅ What encoding and retrieval really mean (in plain English)

✅ Why some memories feel like time travel

✅ How memories get reorganized while we sleep

✅ What neuroscience tools like fMRI and EEG can tell us about how we remember

✅ Exploring research opportunities
Whether you're curious about the brain, interested in research opportunities, or just want to stop forgetting your grocery list, this episode is for you.
