Biography

Karen Campbell is a Professor and Canada Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience at Brock University. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. Her research focuses on neurocognitive aging, particularly how attention and memory are affected by aging. Campbell's work seeks to understand the interactions between memory systems and attention controls, and how these contribute to cognitive declines associated with age. Rather than using artificial task demands that limit attentional control, her research explores the neural processes behind memory and attention to discover more holistic insights into cognitive aging. Her unique approach aims to shift the focus from simply measuring declines to understanding the underlying mechanisms and interactions that contribute to age-differentiated memory performance.
