Endel Tulving was born in Estonia in May 1927. As a youth he was passionate about sports, especially track events. He left Estonia when he was 17 and spent time in Germany before moving to Canada to pursue college.
He attended the University of Toronto, where he received his B.A. in 1953 and his M.A. in 1954. He then went to Harvard University and earned a Ph.D. in experimental psychology in 1957. Tulving spent most of his academic career at the University of Toronto. He is perhaps best known for his research on episodic memory, much of it summarized in his 1983 book, Elements of Episodic Memory (Oxford University Press). Since his retirement as a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, Tulving has remained an active researcher at the Rotman Research Institute near Toronto. |
