Memory Processes and Influences

This study compares the neural representations of working memory and long-term memory in occipital and parietal cortex using fMRI and multivariate pattern analysis, finding shared and distinct coding formats.

The paper develops a geometric framework to model how naturalistic experiences are transformed into episodic memories by analyzing neural and behavioral data during TV episode viewing.

This study investigates age-related differences in retrieval gating during episodic memory tasks, finding that younger adults show attenuated reinstatement of irrelevant scene information compared to older adults.

This study uses Bayesian model selection to show parametric models better explain fMRI encoding variance than categorical models in young and older adults.

This study examines repetition effects in event-related potentials across age groups and links them to memory specificity and recognition performance.

The paper introduces a phenomenological model of forgetting based on retroactive interference, showing that older memories are more stable than newer ones through recognition experiments.

The paper develops a stimulus set of emotional and neutral images that controls for semantic relatedness and other confounding factors to improve memory research.

The paper investigates recognition failures in cued recall paradigms, showing that recalled words can fail recognition due to implicit processes rather than recollection.

This study investigates how stimulus valence and arousal affect memory performance and metamemory, finding that negative valence reduces memory and confidence, and influences cardiac activity during recognition.

This study quantifies memory differences between aphantasics and controls by analyzing drawings, finding aphantasics have object memory deficits but intact spatial memory.

This study investigates how neural activity pattern reinstatement in older and young adults relates to detecting and remembering changes in events using functional MRI.

The paper examines how neural activity during memory encoding relates to endogenous brain states, showing that external factors have minimal impact on EEG correlates of successful memory.

This study investigates whether the functional foundations of episodic memory encoding remain consistent across the lifespan, finding continuity rather than late-life specificity.

This study shows that alpha/beta desynchronization correlates with memory specificity and is reduced in older adults during lure discrimination tasks.

The paper shows that familiarity signal strength in recognition memory depends on test format, supporting the CLS framework's assumption that test format affects familiarity's diagnosticity.

The paper proposes a semantic compression framework to explain memory distortions by modeling memory as lossy compression using generative models, validated across three datasets.

The paper compares neural patterns during visual encoding and recall, finding distinct representational structures and localizations, with recall showing coarser information than encoding.

The paper investigates a memory condition combining accurate source memory with low-confidence item recognition, using ERPs to show a late negative ERP effect and behavioral patterns distinct from conventional memory processes.

This study investigates the impact of psychosocial stress on memory, finding modest effects and highlighting individual differences in stress responsivity.

This study shows that suppressing negative memories affects cardiac responses, with efficient suppression leading to long-term inhibition of cardiac deceleration and ineffective suppression increasing cardiac response.

This study investigates how visual interference affects memory by analyzing representational detail using a validated circular shape space, finding that similar distractors can both help and hinder memory depending on the required level of detail.

The paper examines how visual and semantic representations predict memory performance in perceptual and conceptual tests using fMRI and RSA.

This study examines age-related differences in pre-stimulus neural activity predictive of memory encoding using fMRI, finding regionally specific patterns that suggest some cognitive processes are age-invariant.

This study investigates the Dunning-Kruger Effect in episodic memory using EEG, finding distinct neural correlates between over- and under-estimators.

This study investigates how retrieval and suppression affect established memories 24 hours after learning using fMRI, finding that retrieval strengthens memories while suppression has a modest negative effect.

The paper shows that image memorability is predicted by discriminability and similarity at different CNN layers in two behavioral experiments.

The paper shows that age-related declines in scene reinstatement during memory retrieval are due to reduced neural differentiation during encoding.

The paper examines the strategies used by participants to perform hippocampal-dependent tasks and finds that scene visual imagery is a dominant strategy across multiple cognitive tasks.

This study shows that hippocampal fMRI effects during recollection predict future memory changes in healthy older adults.
