Expectation Modulates Episodic Memory Formation via Dopaminergic Circuitry
(2016)
Episodic memory formation is shaped by expectation. Events that generate expectations
have the capacity to influence memory. Additionally, whether subsequent events meet
or violate expectations has consequences for memory. ...
Functional Neuroimaging Investigations of Human Memory: Comparisons of Successful Encoding and Retrieval for Relational and Item Information
(2007-05-10)
Memory is a complex and multifaceted entity. Cognitive psychology has adopted terminology
to help simplify the study of memory. For example, one can consider the cognitive
process the brain is engaged in, such as encoding ...
Mechanisms by Which Early Nutrition Influences Spatial Memory, Adult Neurogenesis, and Response to Hippocampal Injury
(2010)
Altered dietary availability of the vital nutrient choline during early development
leads to persistent changes in brain and behavior throughout adulthood. Prenatal choline
supplementation during embryonic days (ED) 12-17 ...
Optimizing the Correction of Memory Errors
(2016)
People are always at risk of making errors when they attempt to retrieve information
from memory. An important question is how to create the optimal learning conditions
so that, over time, the correct information is learned ...
Understanding the Hypercorrection Effect: Why High-Confidence Errors are More Likely to be Corrected
(2010)
The hypercorrection effect refers to the finding that high-confidence errors are more
likely to be corrected after feedback than are low-confidence errors (Butterfield
& Metcalfe, 2001). In 5 experiments I examine ...
Interoceptive Contributions to Motivational and Affective Modulators of Memory Formation
(2015)
Biological drives such as hunger, thirst, and sexual reproduction are potent motivators
of behavior. Extrinsic rewards in the environment (i.e. food, drink, money) are also
important behavioral and cognitive motivators. ...
The Memorial Consequences of Retellings and Their Underlying Cognitive Mechanisms: The Role of Selective Rehearsal and Connections to Autobiographical Memory
(2011)
Simply recalling a memory has very different consequences than retelling it. Accuracy
is often emphasized when events are recalled; however, retelling an event in a conversational
manner may compromise accuracy in order ...
Age Differences in Suggestibility Following Semantic Illusions: The Role of Prior Knowledge
(2014)
In the face of declines in memory related to specific events, people maintain intact
general knowledge into very old age. Older adults often use this knowledge to support
their remembering. Semantic illusions involve situations ...
The Potential Role of Memory in the Development and Maintenance of Binge and Loss of Control Eating
(2019)
Binge and loss of control (LOC) eating are clinically significant symptoms that constitute
syndromes characterized by a repetitive pattern of maladaptive and subjectively uncontrollable
binge or loss of control eating. The ...
