There is extensive evidence that aging is associated with impairments in episodic memory.
Many of these changes have been ascribed to neurobiological alterations to the …

A number of recent studies have indicated that the medial temporal lobe (MTL) plays a
critical role in working memory (WM) and perception, but these results have been highly …

Dual-process accounts of item recognition posit two memory processes: slow but detailed
recollection, and quick but vague familiarity. It has been proposed, based on prior rodent …

The theory that the hippocampus is critical for visual memory and relational cognition has
been challenged by discovery of more spared hippocampal tissue than previously reported …

The medial temporal lobe is a key region in the formation and consolidation of conscious or
declarative memories. In this review, we will first consider the role of the hippocampus and …

We review evidence from an extensive single case study in an individual (NB) who
underwent a rare left-sided anterior temporal-lobe resection with sparing of the …

Retrieving information improves subsequent memory performance more strongly than
restudying. However, despite recent evidence for this retrieval practice effect (RPE), the …

The term “mail-order bride” originated on the American frontier in the nineteenth century. At
that time, the number of men on the frontier far outnumbered the number of available …

We implemented a new approach to measuring the relative speeds of different cognitive
processes, one that extends multinomial models of memory and reasoning from discrete …

Evidence that the hippocampus is critical for spatial memory in nonnavigational tests is
mixed. A recent study reported that temporary hippocampal inactivation impaired spatial …
