This paper introduces a method to quantify memory retrieval through anticipatory eye gaze without verbal reports, showing its effectiveness across multiple experiments.

Successful retrieval is its own reward

This study shows that successful memory retrieval is intrinsically rewarding, as positive feedback occurs regardless of task goals.

Temporal asymmetry of neural representations predicts memory decisions

The paper shows that memory decisions are predicted by the difference in neural similarity between past and future events, with strongest effects in recent memory and weak true memories.

Shared neural codes of recognition memory

The paper investigates shared neural codes in recognition memory using EEG data, finding generalized signals for face stimuli and dissociation between familiar and remembered objects.

Top-down task goals induce the retrieval state

The paper investigates how top-down task goals and bottom-up stimulus factors influence retrieval state engagement during memory tasks.
