The human brain is fascinating as it can form multiple memories that allow us to remember different types of information like facts and events (e.g., Paris is the capital of France) and procedures (e.g., how to ride a bike). These types of memories are often studied independently, even though memories that are formed everyday combine information from different domains. For example, when one learns to play the piano, one not only learns the sequences of movements on the piano keyboard, but also the melody associated with the movements and the sequence of notes written on the music score. Although the content of these memories differs, their structure is similar. This research examines how learning different material with similar structures is carried out in the brain, whether it is more likely to form lasting memories, and also tests whether this property can be used to improve memory. If successful, this work has translational potential for developing new ways to enhance the formation of lasting memories. In addition, this project supports public engagement with science and includes workshops for K-12 students, as well as mentored research experiences in cognitive neuroscience and advanced data analysis for undergraduate trainees. This project utilizes sequence learning as a study model as it underlies several daily activities in both memory domains (e.g., memory for sequences of events and actions). Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is employed to delineate the brain respo
