Steven Lindsay

Early career

Lindsay graduated from Reed College in 1981 with a B.A in psychology^[1] ^[2] After a brief period working as a construction labourer in Anchorage, he began postgraduate study at Princeton in 1983, supervised by well-known memory researcher Marcia Johnson. In his dissertation he initially set out to investigate the impact of imagining contrary-to-truth hiding places on children’s memory for the actual spatial location of objects. He became interested in Johnson's ongoing work on reality monitoring, or the process of distinguishing between memories or information originating from external sources - physically expereinced events - and information originating from internal sources such as imagination and thought ^[3] events that are physically experienced and internal events that occur in the mind. it is that we can tell the difference between memories for concrete events (“walking the dog this morning”) vs imagined events (Imagining walking the dog this monrning) or inferences (“The dog is very quiet this afternoon, so I must have walked him this morning”), and in the broader issue fo source monitoring, or our ability to know where a given piece of knowledge or a memory came from. This is what his dissertation focused on (REF “Whence comes memory”).
