Memory retrieval is an active process that can alter the content and accessibility of stored
memories. Of potential relevance for educational practice are findings that memory retrieval …

Attention influences what is later remembered, but little is known about how this occurs in
the brain. We hypothesized that behavioral goals modulate the attentional state of the …

Persistent long-term memory depends on successful stabilization and integration of new
memories after initial encoding [1, 2]. This consolidation process is thought to require …

Our perceptual abilities significantly improve with practice. This phenomenon, known as
perceptual learning, offers an ideal window for understanding use-dependent changes in …

Our brains integrate information across sensory modalities to generate perceptual
experiences and form memories. However, it is difficult to determine the conditions under …

Episodic memory involves remembering the details that characterize a prior experience.
Successful memory recovery has been associated with the reinstatement of brain activity …

When faced with a new challenge, we often reflect on related past experiences to guide our
behavior. The ability to retrieve memories that overlap with current experience, a process …

Two separate studies, Jonsson et al.(J. Math Behav. 2014; 36: 20–32) and Karlsson
Wirebring et al.(Trends Neurosci Educ. 2015; 4 (1–2): 6–14), showed that learning …

The neural processes giving rise to human memory strength signals remain poorly
understood. Inspired by formal computational models that posit a central role of global …

The fate of a memory is partly determined at initial encoding. However, the behavioral
consequences of memory formation are often tested only once and shortly after learning …
