Expectation-driven novelty effects in episodic memory
Novel and unexpected stimuli are often prioritised in memory, given their inherent salience.
Nevertheless, not all forms of novelty show such an enhancement effect. Here, we discuss …

Cortical modulation of pupillary function: systematic review
Background The pupillary light reflex is the main mechanism that regulates the pupillary
diameter; it is controlled by the autonomic system and mediated by subcortical pathways. In …

Age-related decreases in the retrieval practice effect directly relate to changes in alpha-beta oscillations
The retrieval (or testing) of information leads to better memory performance compared with
reencoding. This phenomenon is known as “testing effect” or “retrieval practice effect” and …

The gains of a 4‐week cognitive training are not modulated by novelty
Cognitive training should not only improve performance of the trained task, but also
untrained abilities. Exposure to novelty can improve subsequent memory performance …

Retrieval practice improves recollection-based memory over a seven-day period in younger and older adults
Retrieving information improves subsequent memory performance more strongly than
restudying. However, despite recent evidence for this retrieval practice effect (RPE), the …

Dopamine enhances item novelty detection via hippocampal and associative recall via left lateral prefrontal cortex mechanisms
The involvement of fronto-striatal circuits in item and associative memory retrieval as well as
in the stabilization of memories by retrieval practice suggests that both retrieval and re …

Comparison of pupil dilation responses to unexpected sounds in monkeys and humans
Pupil dilation in response to unexpected stimuli has been well documented in human as
well as in non-human primates; however, this phenomenon has not been systematically …

Novelty before or after word learning does not affect subsequent memory performance
In humans, exposure to novel images and exploration of novel virtual environments before
the encoding of words improved subsequent memory performance. Animal studies revealed …

Anticipation of novel environments enhances memory for incidental information
D Cen, C Gkoumas, MJ Gruber - Learning & Memory, 2021 - learnmem.cshlp.org
Novelty is a potent driver of learning, but little is known about whether anticipation of novelty
can enhance memory for incidental information. Here, participants incidentally encountered …
