 Abstract: Most studies exploring cognitive ability across the lifespan col
 lapse across individual differences and contexts. At this moment\, one may
  find older adults perform worse than younger adults. However\, human cogn
 ition is not a timeless singularity. It is dynamic and responds to both co
 ntext and experience and the complex interplay of the two. Exploring these
  factors promises to reveal the rich spectrum of human ability across the 
 lifespan and challenges what we think of as 'normal' performance and aging
 . My research program uses behavioral and neuroimaging techniques in conce
 rt with multivariate analyses to explore how context and experience alter 
 evoked brain and behavioral responses. A particular focus of my program is
  the spectrum of ability in aging\, a poignant topic given North America's
  current demographics. Our population is aging\, and more of us will need 
 to know how to interpret a neuropsychological test\, whether for a parent\
 , a spouse\, or ourselves. My research program underscores the need to acc
 ommodate environmental factors such as time of day\, and experiential fact
 ors leading to cognitive reserve\, such as second-language use. Across two
  parallel lines of research\, I ask how experiences and changes in context
  modify age differences in cognitive control\, and what this means for how
  we define typical cognitive performance.\n\nBio:Dr. John Anderson is an A
 ssistant Professor in the Department of Cognitive Science and cross-appoin
 ted to the Department of Psychology at Carleton University and a Canada Re
 search Chair (Tier II) in Cognition and Wellness. Dr. Anderson is the Prin
 cipal Investigator of the Cognition and Neuroscience of Aging Lab. Dr. And
 erson also holds a status-only appointment as an Assistant Professor at th
 e Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto and is a
 n Affiliate Scientist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH)
 . Dr. Anderson has a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Toronto. H
 e completed post-doctoral training in research on bilingualism and cogniti
 ve reserve at York University and advanced neuroimaging and the links betw
 een depression and dementia in older adults at the Centre for Addiction an
 d Mental Health.\n\n\nThe Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series will advan
 ce the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the 
 Neuro (1972–1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms.
  The talks will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsyc
 hology\, cognitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will inclu
 de scientists from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborat
 ors locally and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a
  virtual forum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisc
 iplinary exchanges on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain an
 d cognitive disorders.\n\n \n
