Relative to younger adults, older adults tend to perform more poorly on tests of both free
recall and item recognition memory. The age difference in performance is typically larger for …

Background Aerobic exercise remains one of the most promising approaches for enhancing
cognitive function in late adulthood, yet its potential positive effects on episodic memory …

Bayesian parameter estimation and Bayesian hypothesis testing present attractive
alternatives to classical inference using confidence intervals and p values. In part I of this …

Mind wandering is an ubiquitous phenomenon in everyday life. In the cognitive
neurosciences, mind wandering has been associated with several distinct neural processes …

Recognizing a stimulus as previously encountered is a crucial everyday life skill and a
critical task motivating theoretical development in models of human memory. Although there …

We present a dynamic model of memory that integrates the processes of perception,
retrieval from knowledge, retrieval of events, and decision making as these evolve from 1 …

Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) above the left dorsolateral
prefrontal cortex (lDLPFC) has been widely used to improve symptoms of major depressive …

Signal detection theory (SDT) plays a central role in the characterization of human
judgments in a wide range of domains, most prominently in recognition memory. But despite …

Multinomial processing tree (MPT) models such as the single high-threshold, double high-
threshold, and low-threshold models are discrete-state decision models that map internal …

Inactive interventions can have significant effects on cognitive performance. Understanding
the generation of these cognitive placebo/nocebo effects is crucial for evaluating the …
