Memory Processes and Influences

Single-exposure visual memory judgments are reflected in IT cortex

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

Dopamine is a double-edged sword: Enhancing memory retrieval performance at the expense of metacognition

This study investigates how dopamine affects memory retrieval and metacognition using pharmacological fMRI in healthy humans, finding improved retrieval accuracy but impaired confidence.

Attention and Emotion-Enhanced Memory: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Behavioural and Neuroimaging Evidence

This paper reviews and meta-analyzes studies on how attention and emotion interact to affect memory, finding mixed support for attention's role in emotional memory and methodological differences in neural effects.

Age-related differences in prestimulus subsequent memory effects assessed with event-related potentials

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

Alpha Oscillations During Incidental Encoding Predict Subsequent Memory For New "Foil" Information

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

Eye-movement reinstatement and neural reactivation during mental imagery

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

Visual Continuous Recognition Reveals Widespread Cortical Contributions to Scene Memory

This study uses EEG and fMRI to show that a widespread cortical network supports both short- and long-term scene memory through distinct spatiotemporal neural dynamics.

Brief targeted memory reactivation during the awake state enhances memory stability and benefits the weakest memories

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.

Finding domain-general metacognitive mechanisms requires using appropriate tasks

The paper investigates whether metacognition is domain-general or domain-specific by replicating and extending previous studies using different judgment types.

How emotional memory affects face remembering: an ERP investigation

This study investigates how emotional memory affects face remembering using ERP signals, finding that emotional valence enhances memory traces and that temporal recency influences neural responses.

Local context influences memory for emotional stimuli but not electrophysiological markers of emotion-dependent attention

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 experience of vivid autobiographical reminiscence is supported by personal semantic representations in the precuneus

The paper identifies a brain network, including the precuneus, that represents personal semantic content during vivid autobiographical recollection using lifelogging and fMRI data.

Note on the power law of forgetting

The paper proves that the forgetting function approaches a power law under general conditions and shows simulations support this fit across the entire time-course.

How we transmit memories to other brains: constructing shared neural representations via communication

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.

Symptoms of Depression in a Large Healthy Population Cohort are related to Subjective Memory Complaints and Memory Performance in Negative Contexts

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.

Image Memorability In The Eye Of The Beholder: Tracking The Decay Of Visual Scene Representations

The paper investigates how image memorability affects memory decay and cognitive load during retrieval, showing that low memorable images are forgotten faster and require more cognitive effort.

A shared representation of order between encoding and recognition in visual short-term memory

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

Multiple-object tracking as a tool for parametrically modulating memory reactivation

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