Cognitive control, the ability to limit attention to goal-relevant information, aids performance
on a wide range of laboratory tasks. However, there are many day-to-day functions which …

Declines in episodic memory in older adults are typically attributed to differences in
encoding strategies and/or retrieval processes. These views omit a critical factor in age …

Episodic memory deficits have increasingly been recognized as a cognitive feature of
depression. To quantify these deficits and determine how they are moderated by various …

The late posterior negativity (LPN) is an ERP effect frequently reported in episodic memory
tasks. In 2003, we proposed that both non-mnemonic action monitoring processes and …

Aging is generally associated with differences in associative memory, which is memory for
relationships between arbitrary pieces of information. There are two predominant …

Associative memory declines with age, and this decline is thought to stem from a decreased
ability to form new associations or bind information together. However, a growing body of …

Goal-relevant information can be maintained in working memory over a brief delay interval
to guide an upcoming decision. There is also evidence suggesting the existence of a …

Adequate sleep is essential for healthy physical, emotional, and cognitive functioning,
including memory. However, sleep ability worsens with increasing age. Older adults on …

We have previously shown that older adults hyper-bind, or form more extraneous
associations than younger adults. For instance, when asked to perform a 1-back task on …

Hyper-binding–the erroneous encoding of target and distractor information into associative
pairs in memory–has been described as a unique age effect caused by declines in …
