Memory Processes and Influences

This study failed to replicate findings of unconscious reactivation during memory retrieval and found test items indistinguishable by encoding context.

The paper uses neurofeedback to show that context reinstatement improves recall of related memories while impairing recall of unrelated ones, and that this relationship disappears without neurofeedback.

This study shows that pre-stimulus oscillatory EEG activity predicts episodic memory accuracy in both young and older adults, with age-related changes in specific frequency bands.

This study uses MVPA on EEG to decode selective attention during encoding and links attentional shifts to memory accuracy and hyper-binding in young and older adults.

This study uses transcranial magnetic stimulation to show that the precuneus is selectively involved in mnemonic metacognition, not perceptual discrimination.

This study shows that pupil dilation during encoding predicts long-term memory retention of visual and auditory stimuli, highlighting the role of arousal in memory formation.

The paper investigates how neural overlap in item representations across episodes affects context memory, finding that greater similarity in neural patterns leads to worse source memory for initial contexts.

This study investigates memory performance variability and finds that prior list recall strongly predicts current performance, suggesting endogenous factors drive variability.

The paper investigates how visual memory is reflected in IT cortex by analyzing neural responses during a single-exposure memory task in monkeys.

This study examines age-related differences in prestimulus subsequent memory effects using event-related potentials, finding distinct patterns in young and older adults.

The paper shows that alpha oscillations during semantic processing predict better memory for new semantic information during a subsequent memory test.

This study investigates mental imagery by analyzing fMRI and eye-tracking data, finding that neural reactivation correlates with vivid imagery and fixation reinstatement.

The paper shows that brief visual re-exposure during an awake state enhances memory stability, particularly for poorly learned items and when attention is internally oriented.

The paper investigates how list context affects memory for emotional stimuli but not electrophysiological markers of emotion-related attention, suggesting retrieval dynamics may explain emotional memory enhancement.

The paper investigates how neural patterns of memory encoding and imagination are shared across individuals through verbal communication, finding similar patterns in the default mode network during encoding, recall, and imagination.

This study examines how depressive symptoms affect memory complaints and performance in a large population cohort, finding a dissociation between subjective reports and objective measures, particularly in negative contexts.

The paper investigates how temporal order information is shared between presentation and recognition phases of an STM task using fMRI data.

This paper introduces a procedure using multiple-object tracking to parametrically modulate memory reactivation and shows it weakens memory through partial retrieval.
