Episode 9 - Jon Crystal

Jon thinking about thinking Jonathon Crystal is a professor of psychology and director of the program in neuroscience at Indiana University, Bloomington, IN. Jon received his BSc in psychology at the University of Toronto in 1992 where he worked in Sara Shettleworth's lab. He also spent a lot of time working with Ken Cheng as an undergrad. He then went on to grad school at Brown where he worked with Russ Church, receiving an Sc.M. in 1994 and a Ph.D. in 1997. Jon's lab focuses on the development of animal models of memory. His laboratory documented that rats may be used to model what-where-when memory and source memory. He has also developed a number of innovative techniques for evaluating cognition in rats, including prospective memory, retrieval practice, and metacognition. The objective of the work in Jon's lab is to develop models of the types of memory that are impaired in human diseases. Jon and I go way back, and we talked about all kinds of stuff including a bunch of his recent work on topics like source memory , practice effects on memory , prospective memory , episodic memory in rats , and just science in general.
