Saito Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A cognitive psychology lab that uses experiments to investigate memory, language, and the control of mental processes.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring memory, language, and control of the mind.
From the standpoint of cognitive psychology, the Saito Lab studies memory, language, and the mechanisms that control mental processes.
Every Monday afternoon, the lab holds the MDM (Memory Discussion Meeting), where members present research and review the literature, and discuss the functions and mechanisms of cognition and memory broadly.
The lab has carried out joint research not only with universities in Japan but also with researchers abroad, including at the University of Cambridge and the University of Geneva, and graduate students and postdoctoral researchers have built their skills through these opportunities.
Graduate students are admitted through the Educational Cognitive Psychology Division. Applicants are expected to be students who have written, or plan to write, psychology research using quantitative data (including a graduation thesis).
