Memory to Be Topic of UB Senior Alumni Luncheon Program

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Does your memory play tricks on you? Is that elusive name, place or fact "on the tip of your tongue," only to come to mind hours later?

How memory works and ways to test and improve it will be the focus of an audience-interactive lecture to be held on Tuesday, March 18, as part of the University at Buffalo Senior Alumni Program.

The luncheon program will be held at noon in the Center for Tomorrow on the UB North (Amherst) Campus.

The lecture, to be presented by Ralph H.B. Benedict, Ph.D., UB assistant professor of neurology, will include some sample memory tests and techniques.

Benedict conducts research on memory and factors that can affect it.

He earned master's and doctoral degrees in clinical psychology from Arizona State University and served a postdoctoral fellowship at The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

Luncheon tickets are $10 each, plus a $5 enrollment charge for the Senior Alumni Program. The tour is $17 per person.

Graduates and individuals who have completed 12 semester hours as matriculated students in a degree program at UB are eligible to join the UB Alumni Association. The senior luncheon series is designed for UB senior alumni and their spouses and guests.
