Celia Harris

• Associate Professor in Cognitive Science, Western Sydney University

Associate Professor Harris is interested in memory - particularly the way that our internal cognitive processes interact with the external environment, including the people, objects, and devices around us.

She studies the way that people remember when prompted by different kinds of stimuli, and how they remember in conversation with others.

The aim of her research is to better understand the cognitive processes underlying successful retrieval of autobiographical memories in order to make remembering easier, especially for those who need memory support such as people who are older or people who are living with dementia.

Associate Professor Harris also studies what memory means to individuals and groups, and how we use our memories to shape our identity as well as to build and maintain relationships.
