Biography

Dave Mumby received his Ph.D. in Biopsychology from the University of British Columbia in 1992. In 1994, after 18 months in a postdoctoral research position in Dr. Robert Sutherland's laboratory at the University of New Mexico, Dr. Mumby joined the Department of Psychology at Concordia University.
Dr. Mumby is a Fellow of Concordia University's Science College.


Teaching activities

I teach senior-level courses on:
1) animal behaviour (PSYC 457).
2) evolutionary perspectives on learning and memory (PSYC 467).
3) neurobiology of learning and memory (PSYC 451).
