Predictions transform memories: How expected versus unexpected events are integrated or separated in memory
Our brains constantly generate predictions about the environment based on prior
knowledge. Many of the events we experience are consistent with these predictions, while …

The neural representations underlying human episodic memory
G Xue - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2018 - cell.com
A fundamental question of human episodic memory concerns the cognitive and neural
representations and processes that give rise to the neural signals of memory. By integrating …

Cross-stage neural pattern similarity in the hippocampus predicts false memory derived from post-event inaccurate information
The misinformation effect occurs when people's memory of an event is altered by
subsequent inaccurate information. No study has systematically tested theories about the …

Spaced learning enhances episodic memory by increasing neural pattern similarity across repetitions
Spaced learning has been shown consistently to benefit memory compared with massed
learning, yet the neural representations and processes underlying the spacing effect are still …

Eye movements support behavioral pattern completion
The ability to recall a detailed event from a simple reminder is supported by pattern
completion, a cognitive operation performed by the hippocampus wherein existing …

Retrieval aids the creation of a generalised memory trace and strengthens episode-unique information
Generalised knowledge can adaptively guide our behaviour and help us navigate the world.
In this study, we aim to test the role of memory retrieval in promoting such generalisation of …

Contributions of representational distinctiveness and stability to memory performance and age differences
Long-standing theories of cognitive aging suggest that memory decline is associated with
age-related differences in the way information is neurally represented. Multivariate pattern …
