Mental Imagery abilities affect visual working memory performance: evidence from aphantasic participants

This study shows that individuals with aphantasia have worse visual working memory performance compared to controls, regardless of stimulus type, and that visual imagery ability predicts memory performance.

The Neural Underpinnings of Aphantasia: A Case Study of Identical Twins

This study uses fMRI to compare neural activity in identical twins with and without aphantasia during mental imagery tasks, finding reduced visual information in the aphantasic twin's memory but suggesting a spectrum rather than a discrete condition.

The Memorability of Voices is Predictable and Consistent across Listeners

This study shows that voice memorability is consistent across listeners and can be predicted by voice features.

Navigating Memorability Landscapes: Hyperbolic Geometry Reveals Hierarchical Structures in Object Concept Memory

This study uses hyperbolic geometry to show that object concepts are hierarchically organized, with memorability and typicality linked to their position in this structure.

Drawings reveal changes in object memory, but not spatial memory, across time

The paper examines how object and spatial memory change over time using drawings made from memory, finding that object memory degrades while spatial memory remains stable.

Learning Image Memorability with Feedback-Based Training

This study shows that feedback-based training improves human ability to judge scene image memorability but not face image memorability, falling short of a leading deep learning model's performance.

Diagnostic images for mild cognitive impairment reveal biomarker status and abnormal scene processing

The paper identifies diagnostic images that correlate with Alzheimer's biomarkers and show differential neural processing in MCI patients compared to healthy controls.

Neural similarity between overlapping events at learning differentially affects reinstatement across the cortex

The paper examines how encoding differentiation and integration of overlapping naturalistic events affect neural reinstatement and recall accuracy across the cortex.

The Features Underlying the Memorability of Objects

The paper investigates what makes images memorable by analyzing a large dataset of object images and finds that semantic features have a stronger influence than perceptual features on memorability, and that memorability is not simply tied to typicality.

Children Develop Adult-Like Visual Sensitivity to Image Memorability by the Age of Four

This study shows that children develop adult-like sensitivity to image memorability by age 4, using ResMem predictions and behavioral tasks.

Multidimensional topography of memory revealed from thousands of daily documented memories

The paper examines the neural representations of episodic memories using real-world data from a video diary app, revealing a topography of memory features across the medial parietal lobe.

Disrupted object-scene semantics boost scene recall but diminish object recall in drawings from memory

This study investigates how semantic inconsistencies in visual scenes affect memory recall, finding that inconsistent scenes are remembered more often but with less object detail.

Quantifying Aphantasia through drawing: Those without visual imagery show deficits in object but not spatial memory

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

Distinct representational structure and localization for visual encoding and recall during visual imagery

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

Memorability of photographs in subjective cognitive decline and mild cognitive impairment: implications for cognitive assessment

The paper assesses memorability of photographs in healthy controls, subjective cognitive decline, and mild cognitive impairment, identifying images with diagnostic potential.
