Henry "Roddy" Roediger is an internationally recognized scholar of human memory function and the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor. He served as chair of the Department of Psychology in Arts & Sciences from 1996-2004, when he was named dean of academic planning in Arts & Sciences.

Roediger's research interests include such topics as how people can suffer memory illusions and false memories (remembering events differently from the way they happened or remembering events that never happened at all), implicit memory (when past events affect ongoing behavior without one's awareness) and, most recently, applying cognitive psychology to improving learning in educational situations.
