The lab explores why people make memory errors by examining individual differences in memory.
AboutAbout the lab
Why people misremember
The Sugimori Lab is a cognitive psychology lab that investigates how human memory comes to change.
Memories of whether we did something ourselves, and of where we saw or heard something, are not as accurate as we think.
How easily such memory errors occur varies greatly from person to person, and the lab uses experiments to clarify the mechanisms and the differences.
The lab also studies cognitive functions other than memory, such as the analysis of facial expressions.
Key terms

NewsLab news

Consumer Behavior Theory Explained from a Psychological Perspective (Sososha), to which Associate Professor Sugimori contributed chapters, has been published
ResearchResearch themes
The lab uses experiments to investigate the mechanisms of memory errors that occur in daily life and individual differences in how easily they occur. By understanding the quirks of human cognition, it aims to contribute to understanding ourselves and others.
*Illustrative imageMemory errors and individual differences
The lab takes up memory errors that can happen to anyone in daily life and investigates their mechanisms through experiments. Because the way memory errors occur differs greatly from person to person, the lab treats those differences themselves as an object of study.
*Illustrative imageHow we separate reality from imagination
Did I actually do it, or did I only think I did? The lab investigates how people distinguish actual experiences from things they have imagined. It deals with the phenomenon in which the stronger a person's ability to imagine something, the more likely they are to believe they actually did it.
*Illustrative imageCapturing mental states from facial expressions
The lab analyzes the movements of facial expressions and examines their relationship to mental states, such as depressive tendencies. It combines evaluations of the impressions people receive with methods for automatically analyzing facial expressions.
