Baycrest cognitive scientist Dr. Endel Tulving inducted into Canadian Medical Hall of Fame
Dr. Endel Tulving, a pre-eminent senior scientist with Baycrest’s Research Centre for Aging and the Brain, was officially inducted into The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame on Oct. 2, 2007.
Dr. Tulving, a cognitive psychologist and the Anne and Max Tanenbaum Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience at Baycrest and the University of Toronto, is internationally recognized for his landmark research to distinguish different types of human memory. His work has important implications for the study of normal memory as well as memory breakdown related to brain injury, brain diseases and normal aging.
“No single cognitive scientist has made a greater impact on the understanding of human memory than psychologist Dr. Endel Tulving,” said The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame in a press release announcing the 2007 inductees.
Dr. Tulving was one of five new medical heroes inducted into the Hall. The event was attended by more than 500 people from Canada’s biomedical and healthcare industries, along with dignitaries and academic leaders.
