Timeline
He is William R. Kenan, Jr.'s endowed professor of psychology at Harvard University.
His research has focused on psychological and biological aspects of human memory and amnesia, with a particular emphasis on the distinction between conscious and nonconscious forms of memory and, more recently, on brain mechanisms of memory and brain distortion, and memory and future simulation.
Schacter received his B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1974, M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in Canada in 1977 and 1981 respectively.
In 1978, he was a visiting researcher at the University of Oxford's Department of Experimental Psychology.
He has also studied the effects of aging on memory.
Professor Schacter's research uses both cognitive testing and brain imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging.
Schacter has written three books, edited seven volumes, and published over 200 scientific articles and chapters.
He is widely known for his integrative reviews, including his seminal review of implicit memory in 1987.
His books include: Searching for Memory: The Brain, the Mind, and the Past (1996); Forgotten ideas, neglected pioneers: Richard Semon and the story of memory. (2001); and The Seven Sins of Memory: How the Mind Forgets and Remembers (2001).
In The Seven Sins of Memory: How the Mind Forgets and Remembers, Schacter identifies seven ways ("sins") that memory can "fail us".
The seven sins are: Transience, Absent-Mindedness, Blocking, Misattribution, Suggestibility, Persistence, and Bias.
In addition to his books, Schacter publishes regularly in scientific journals.
Among the topics that Schacter has investigated are: Alzheimer's disease, the neuroscience of memory, age-related memory effects, issues related to false memory, and memory and simulation.
He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1996.
In 2005 Schacter received the NAS Award for Scientific Reviewing from the National Academy of Sciences.
In 2012 he said in an interview to the American Psychologist journal that our brain is like a time machine, or to be precise, it works as a virtual reality simulator.
He also said that our brain can imagine the future but it has difficulty in retracing the past.
He has been the first author on multiple editions of the textbooks Psychology and Introducing Psychology, both having six editions as of 2023.
He was elected to membership in NAS in 2013.
