Pelin Tanberg

Pelin Tanberg is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Psychology at Toronto Metropolitan University, affiliated with the Memory and Decision Processes lab. Her PhD work explored how people intentionally forget information to reduce memory overload and enhance cognitive efficiency. Now as a postdoctoral fellow, she studies how people rely on AI and digital tools to support their memory and decision-making, including cognitive and motivational factors that influence human-AI interaction. She is currently collaborating with a Toronto-based community partner (i.e., Skills for Change) to investigate how advanced digital technologies can support newcomers to Canada in navigating employment services and integration into the labour market. Her work bridges cognitive science, human-AI interaction, and social impact. Her work has been funded by NSERC.
