Research summary
AI-generated

Richard M. Shiffrin studies how human memory works, using mathematical and computational models to explain how people recognize, store, and retrieve information. His research spans recognition memory, short- and long-term memory processes, and visual search, and he has recently examined how tools like large language models affect scientific practice and understanding.
