Dr. Michelle Horhota<\/p><\/div>\n

Furman University psychology professor Michelle Horhota will address that subject when she opens the university\u2019s High Noon fall lecture series Wednesday, Sept. 30 at noon at the Upcountry History Museum-Furman.<\/p>\n

The lecture, \u201cMemory Fitness: Strategies for Improving Memory,\u201d is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

Dr. Horhota\u2019s talk is the first of seven consecutive lectures presented by Furman professors during the fall. All lectures are free and begin at noon on Wednesdays.<\/p>\n

Horhota\u2019s research focuses on the social judgments of older adults, and understanding the role of beliefs and stereotypes on memory performance.\u00a0 A graduate of the University of Toronto, she holds master\u2019s and doctoral degrees in Cognitive Aging from the Georgia Institute of Technology.<\/p>\n

In her High Noon lecture, she will discuss normative age-related memory change and share recent scientific research that suggests some practical strategies for minimizing memory declines.<\/p>\n
