Daniel Schacter - Teachers Make a Difference

The speaker reflects on the significant influence of two psychologists, Herb Crovitz and Endel Tulving, on their career. After graduating in 1974, they worked as a research assistant for Crovitz at Duke University, where they developed an interest in human memory. This interest led them to pursue graduate studies at the University of Toronto, a leading center for memory research, under the mentorship of Tulving. The speaker emphasizes the importance of asking interesting questions about memory and the impact of mentorship on their career path.
