PSYC 144: Miguel and Silvia Solorio Guest Lecture + Q&A
Psychology, Teaching & Talks, UC San DiegoThe following 2024 recording is from Miguel and Silvia Solorio’s visit to my PSYC 144 Memory & Amnesia class. The class is an upper-division undergraduate course open to all majors. As people outside of my class (including the Solorios) have asked to view this lecture, I wanted to post the link to the podcast recording from that day. The recording is audiovisual.
UCSD Psychology Undergraduate Study Resources
Psychology, Resources, Teaching & Talks, UC San DiegoStudying is a skill, and undergraduates often ask me for studying best-practices. There exists a few study resources for UCSD undergraduates taking classes within the Department of Psychology.
Cognitive Foundations: Memory in Context
Psychology, Resources, Teaching & Talks, UC San DiegoCognitive Foundations is an open-source, collaborative textbook edited by Dr. Celeste Pilegard. Last fall, she brought me onto her team as a subject matter expert in order to revamp “Chapter 6: Memory in Context” in preparation for the release of the second edition of the textbook. I did a lot of revising of the current material (nearly all of it overlapped with the material I taught in my PSYC 144 Memory & Amnesia course) and did a good amount of original writing as well.
Future Associate-In Position and SGTS Program Acceptance
Psychology, Teaching & Talks, UC San DiegoMy department nomination for the Summer Graduate Teaching Scholars (SGTS) Program was accepted, which means that I’m going to be taking on another Associate-In position this summer! The course I’ll be teaching during UCSD’s summer session II is PSYC 162 Psychology & Law. PSYC 162 is an upper-division undergraduate course that closely aligns with my research interests, and I’m choosing to teach it over Zoom in order to gain further experience teaching in different environments.

It will survey current research and theory concerning human memory and amnesia from both cognitive and neuropsychological perspectives. Topics covered will include short-term memory, encoding and retrieval processes, forgetting, memory distortion, implicit memory, drug effects on memory, amnesic syndromes, and the effects of aging on memory processes.
