Richard M. Shiffrin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Martin Shiffrin (born March 13, 1942 in New Haven (Connecticut) ) is an American cognitive scientist and psychologist. He is known for memory models.

Shiffrin studied at Yale University with a bachelor's degree in 1964 (BA) and received his doctorate in 1968 from Stanford University with Richard C. Atkinson in experimental and mathematical psychology. He then became an Assistant Professor and in 1973 Professor of Psychology at Indiana University . In 1980 he became a Luther Dana Waterman Professor there . He is also a Distinguished Professor there .

In 1994/95 he was visiting professor at the University of Amsterdam and 1975/76 at Rockefeller University.

In 1977 he published a theory of attention with Walter Schneider and in 1980 with Jeroen GW Raaijmakers their Search of Associative Memory (SAM) model, expanded in 1997 with Mark Steyvers to the Retrieving Effectively From Memory (REM) model.

He developed models of memory (with Richard Atkinson 1968, Atkinson-Shiffrin model) that divides memory into three parts: a part for the immediate sensory information that is transferred to the short-term memory through the mechanism of attention, which is in the long-term memory Exchange stands. He later replaced this with the SAM model with only short and long-term memory.

He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences (1995), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1995), the American Philosophical Society (2005), the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Psychological Society (1996). In 1975/76 he was a Guggenheim Fellow.

In 2002 he received the David E. Rumelhart Prize . For 2018 he was awarded the Atkinson Prize in Psychological and Cognitive Sciences .
