Prioritizing memory for valuable information can promote adaptive behavior across the
lifespan, but it is unclear how the neurocognitive mechanisms that enable the selective …

The ability to prioritize valuable information is critical for the efficient use of memory in daily
life. When information is important, we engage more effective encoding mechanisms that …

Reward motivation enhances memory through interactions between mesolimbic,
hippocampal, and cortical systems, both during and after encoding. Developmental changes …

Prioritizing memory for the information most likely to be useful in the future is critical to
learning effectively in our complex world. Previous work has revealed that the ability to …

Across development, interactions between value-based learning and memory processes
promote the formation of mental models that enable flexible goal pursuit. Value cues in the …

A number of prior fMRI studies have focused on the ways in which the midbrain
dopaminergic reward system coactivates with hippocampus to potentiate memory for …

While impairments in memory recall are apparent in aging, older adults show a remarkably
preserved ability to selectively remember information deemed valuable. Here, we use fMRI …

Value-associated cues in the environment often enhance subsequent goal-directed
behaviors in adults, a phenomenon supported by the integration of motivational and …

When given a long list of items to remember, people typically prioritize the memorization of
the most valuable items. Prior neuroimaging studies have found that cues denoting the …

Obtaining valuable objects motivates many of our daily decisions. However, the neural
underpinnings of object processing based on human value memory are not yet fully …
